Students graduating this summer:

It has been verified by the Graduation Office that students graduating this summer may participate in Spring Commencement.  The Dean’s office is also allowing students graduating this summer to participate in the Spring Convocation.  However, you must notify the Graduation Office that you intend to graduate this summer.

 

Nursing Student Resource Center:

Unfortunately, it was recently discovered that an unanticipated error occurred that prevented the Nursing Student Resource Center course from migrating to Desire 2 Learn.    Thank you for your continued patience.  We are working diligently to get it operational again within the next couple of weeks.
