Beginning with the 2001 school year, this will now be a formal written rule. It is still pending committee approval so, once that has been finalized, I willget a copy of the policy to you. It is your responsibility to see that you are registered for and have completed thenecessary rotations for your senior year. You can always check your schedule onthe home page under Student Resources as well as get your grades. You will need your Colleague ID number and password (last 4-digits of your SS# unless you have changed it). Please make sure to check this periodically so that we canassure that we obtain grades for you in the rotations for which you should be registered. If you are part of a team or on an externship during a holiday, the schedule of that team or externship supercedes the holiday schedule. I have attached a copy of the Senior Year schedule for your reference). You will receive via email and/or surface mail, preference sheets for your Cores. You will complete these and return them to the department who in turn will makethe assignments. I have NO control over the process. You must sign up for (in my office) and successfully complete the CPX exam. I have to have a confirmation letter/form for any away rotation you plan to attend.

Without completed evaluations, your grades will be held until they have been received. Ihave plenty of forms in my office if you need
