Academic Accommodations for Exams
|
|
All requests (up to 3 days and between 4 days and 3 months) for academic consideration made during exam periods require supporting documentation.
Academic consideration is meant to help you manage a short-term extenuating circumstance that is beyond your control and could affect your academics. This might be a sudden physical or mental illness, a serious injury or required treatment for yourself or a significant other, bereavement (e.g., death of a family member or close friend), or a traumatic event (e.g., sexual assault, divorce), or unforeseen technological or workspace disruptions during remote delivery of the 2020-21 school year (e.g., computer malfunction, power outage affecting access).

Cumulative GPA and letter grades
|
|
The above link will explain everything you need to know about grades! You’ll want to bookmark it for quick reference.
How do you calculate your cumulative GPA?
HLTH 101 is worth 3.0 units. If you get an A (see above link) you get 3.7 grade points for these 3.0 units. So, the points column in your “Term History” on SOLUS will be 11.1 (3.0 x 3.7) for HLTH 101.
Total points for all courses taken ÷ by total units taken = Cumulative GPA.

(except 3rd Wednesday)
University Chaplain, Kate Johnson and Associate Chaplain, Wendy Luella Perkins (joined by other campus and community guests) provide the knowledge and recipes, and you bring the ingredients and enthusiasm. Together we’ll create an affordable, home-cooked, yummy supper. From the comforts of our own kitchens and linked via ZOOM, we’ll cook for the first hour or so and then enjoy the meal, conversation and community together. We make generous quantities, so you’ll have lots to share with housemates, freeze, and/or eat up later in the week.
Wed. December 23rd: Thyme Butternut Squash Stew

KNPE 473 - Sport and Culture
|
Students in this course designed an Open Educational Resource (OER) - an online "book" that can be reused/remixed/revised/etc. by other people. It will always be a work in progress.
Students wrote the chapters and edited each other's work. They came up with the title, and they organized the chapter order.
