Happy 4th of July!!!!

So we finish off the weekend with a holiday and then back to classes on Monday! I'm sure many of you are saying "Oh No!" but hey we have to do, what we have to do! It will be over before we know it. Just take a look at last quarter and how fast everything went. It's only a matter of time until the summer quarter comes to an end!

Since we are starting again on Monday, I figured I'd get you guys all back in gear and make sure you go out and get everything you need prior to going to class. Depending on the Professor, they may want you to have your books that first day, or at least by the second class. You never know so maybe it would be wise to check into getting books before classes.

I went last week and bought all my books and went to financial aid to make sure everything was up to date and that I had no problems. It's always a relief when there are no problems and you can just go on with your day, worry free!

This is where the To Do List comes in handy! I really do suggest this to people who tend to not write things down. It only takes a moment of your time and it helps you when you are in the middle of your day and can't remember what you were suppose to do or what you wanted to make sure you did!

On this to do list, it should include #1:GO TO CLASS! After that, of course, add that you need your books, pens, pencils, calculator, notebook, and any other materials you feel are necessary to bring. Then go to the store with this list and you are on your way!!

As I have mentioned numerous times, I am taking all classes online this quarter, so I have decided to set up my binder with dividers that will hold all of the information for each of my classes. It's very easy and this way I can just flip through and not drive myself crazy!

I want to take a moment to share this email with everyone from the Associate Vice President in Advisement, Gail S. Okun:

Welcome to the summer quarter!

Just some reminders:

* If you have financial obligations: You will be permitted to attend classes up until the end of Week 2. If you owe the College money and have not made payment arrangements by that time, you will be withdrawn from the college.
* Classes begin for day and evening on Monday, July 6, 2009.
* Day students who begin their program in summer 2009 will be required to attend an onsite day student orientation, Monday, July 6, 2009. These students will begin their classes on Tuesday, July 7. Evening students who begin their program in summer 2009, must complete the orientation online.
* In order to be considered registered and enrolled for the summer, you must be participating in all your classes as of July 6.
* Print your schedule prior to participating in classes. Reason: Some classes have been canceled, rooms might have changed, you may have been rescheduled. You should be following the schedule you print. Contact the Advisement Office at your home campus with problems or concerns.
* No adding or swapping of classes can be made after Saturday, July 11.
* You may withdraw from classes up through Week 9. The Saturday of Week 9 is the last day to withdraw from classes. After that date, you will receive the grades you have earned. You must participate in all classes for which you are registered. If you receive financial aid and are a full-time student and fall below full-time status, you may jeopardize your financial aid.
* If you have concerns about classes or swapping a class, contact the Advisement Office at your home campus prior to July 6.

Have a great quarter!

Keep those things in mind, especially if you plan on switching classes or withdrawing. If you keep up with the news posted on blackboard and the items sent to your email, you will have no troubles finding out the dates!

I want to wish everyone a great and successful quarter and Welcome new students!
