Textbook orders
According to a report run by the bookstore on Friday, we still have 1,434 spring 2016 sections without a textbook assigned. Please ensure that this information is submitted as soon as possible. According to the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), WMU is required to publish textbook information with our course offerings. We are currently only 65% in compliance.
Midterm grading
The deadline for instructors to enter fall 2015 midterm grades was last night at midnight. Instructors who need extra time can submit their midterm grades through the end of the day today. The midterm grade worksheet will be open until 8 a.m. tomorrow morning.
The online catalog has a new look
The online catalog has a new look. We recently worked with the vendor to modify the catalog to make the color and style consistent with the CMS website. If you experience any unusual formatting issues when viewing the new version, please clear your cache before contacting the Help Desk.
Orientation modules
New students who attended orientation this summer were asked to complete three online modules (Academic Success Choices, Financial Literacy 101 and AlcoholEdu Part 1). A registration hold has been placed on students who have not yet completed all three modules. If you see a hold type of "FY" on a student's record, please encourage the student to complete the on-line modules. First Year Experience will be reviewing reports daily and will remove the hold when modules are completed. Please refer any questions regarding this hold to the First Year Experience Office at (269) 387-2167.
