Schedule Day
ACADEMIC PUSH PERIOD
· Some notes about testing -
beginning next week. Please read all the way through. Last
Learning Labs this year today and tomorrow. Friday will be the last
before school session in the STEM space in the Depot since final exam
period is beginning. See
the attachment about the whole spring testing schedule. We'll be
reminding you where testing rooms are. Be sure to read announcements
daily! Be prepared for your tests to do your best - remember, they
count 25% of your total grade for each course!! Come
prepared each day with a good sleep for your brain, some breakfast for
your stomach (and brain), at least two #2 lead pencils, and appropriate
calculators for math tests. You will also want to bring a book to read
or something else quiet to work on that
doesn't require your cell phone or iPad for
when you finish your test before others. You will NOT be allowed to
open either for the whole testing period - even after you're finished
with your test - until all tests are taken
up in your room!

play a school sport): KOC is offering sports physicals for the 2013-2014 school year for $10 on May 4 at Thompson-Boling Arena.
