A Message from Sigrid

 

Good morning,

 

I hope you had a good weekend. Two items to highlight this week – one message for each class:

 

Class of 2018:

If you haven’t secured your academic apparel for the graduation ceremony yet – please know that this is a requirement. You cannot participate in the ceremony unless you wear the obligatory “Black master’s gown, mortarboard, tassel and degree-colored hood” (over your street clothes, of course). You may purchase new attire online.

 

Class of 2019:

Bidding for Autumn quarter closed last night and we are now in the “processing period.” Results will be available Friday, May 11 at 8:00 am. Remember, the maximum number of credits that you will be awarded via the bidding process is 16. You may request additional classes beginning Monday, May 14 at 8:00 am (requests received prior to that time are discarded).

 

Have a good week,
