NEBRASKA UNION, 6, 7PM
OUS Hosts Sixth-Annual Mid-Semester Check
The Office of Undergraduate Studies will hold its sixth annual Mid-Semester Check over the next four nights in the Nebraska Union. There will be two sessions each evening, with one running from 6 - 7:30 p.m. and another running from 7 - 8:30 p.m. First year and entering transfer students are welcome to attend.
The checkpoint provides students a guided opportunity for a timely review of academic responsibilities and college and major requirements once they are on campus. It is a key to retaining students from one year to the next because it encourages students to become more engaged and find resources to encourage their success in college. Schedules and further helpful resources are available on the Mid-Semester Check website.
Academic Planning Committee Budget Hearing September 18
The APC hearing on proposed budget reductions is 2:30 - 5 p.m. September 18 at the Nebraska Union (Regency Room). The task of the APC is to review the Chancellor's proposed cuts in light of their probable impact on the university's academic mission and approve them or suggest other ways of meeting the budget reduction goal. To accomplish this task, the APC welcomes information from all who may be affected by the proposed reductions. A schedule is available for download.
