Summer 2015 Course Registration began 11/10/14. This is an option for you to stay on track or get ahead but remember that the SMaRT Scholarship does not fund Summer session courses.

Also note that these courses are a shorter duration than in a Fall/Spring semester so more material is covered in less weeks and you will meet more frequently during the week. o For that reason, it’s a good idea

to discuss your plans with your advisor or Christina (cturissini@northampton.edu ) regarding the amount of courses you’d want to attempt in the summer session(s).

Fall 2015 Course Registration begins to open up for some students as early as 4/6/15.

You are required to meet with your advisor and get clearance

before you can register.

Christina has also contacted each of you to set up an appointment within the next few weeks and during those meetings, you will be discussing Fall

course plans.

Midterm grades are posted. Instructors should have assigned you with a “U” for Unsatisfactory or “Satisfactory. This will give you a general indication of how you are doing in a class but you should be looking at each instructor’s grading policy (listed on syllabi) and the gradebook on Blackboard as well as at any graded work you were given back to determine what your grade is at the moment. If you need to bring your grades up, now is the time to come up with a plan and speak to your instructors.
