Course Evaluations: The University’s Instructor and Course Evaluation (ICES) is going on now. Take a few minutes to provide your feedback about the courses you are taking this semester. The comments you make help the department, curriculum committee, and your instructors guide important course-related decisions. Feedback to the instructors is anonymous. Please answer the survey today!
Capstone Enrollment: If you are planning to enroll in capstone credit for the fall semester, please add your name to the Capstone Enrollment Request list at: https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/485691 . Be sure to specify which capstone course you wish to enroll in and the number of credit hours. Remember, the request will not be processed until you have a fully approved capstone proposal on file. The summer would be a great time to work on your proposal and have it approved. If you have any questions about whether your approved proposal is already on file, please contact Renée at gracon1@illinois.edu.
Written Final Exam: If you are planning to take the Written Final Exam in August to meet the degree requirement, please add your name to the Exam Distribution List by going to: https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/5283479. The exam will be distributed online and you will have one week to complete the exam and submit it. A webinar will be scheduled in July (exact date TBD) to explain how to prepare for the exam. If you have questions about your eligibility to take the exam, please contact Renée.
