What power rests in a single letter of the alphabet what energy is expended to have one appear on your transcript. If you havent expended the energy you should, how you hope the professor is of a kind and generous disposition.

Each inquiry actually slows the process and diminishes the amiability of the staff as they feverishly do the computer entry. Completed grade rosters are due in the Registrars Office by Jan. 2, and the staff keeps busy calling professors whose grades have not been received by that date. Provided they are in on time, it takes approximately two days to enter all the The grade reports must be grades. separated and prepared for mailing, making Jan. 4 the earliest mailing date.

The classes might need to have their focus changed, or perhaps classes might have to be added or deleted from the curriculum, said Baar. He said that all teachers are involved with the liberal arts curriculum. By the end of next year, the recommendations for each class will have been made. Some recommendations will verify that the class fulfills all requirements outlined, while other recommendations will be for change.
