Protect the Pack with Student 健康 Services

发表:

Fall is in full swing—and so is cold and flu season.

Student 健康 is here with a couple reminders about things your student can do to stay well—and stay in class—this semester.

You and your student can reduce your risk of influenza by getting a flu vaccine, washing hands frequently and avoiding others who are ill. You can likewise reduce others’ risks by covering your coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you are ill.

Your Fall Semester Halftime Update

We’re approaching the midpoint of the fall semester. Soon, students will finish midterm papers, projects, and exams, then take a well-earned break. Fall break begins Friday, October 13, with classes resuming on Wednesday, October 18.

Professors submit midterm progress reports before fall break. These reports notify students when their professors have concerns about their academic progress. In most cases, these reports do not mean a student is failing a particular course. Areas of concern might include poor attendance, low exam scores or missing assignments.

Looking Ahead to the Spring Semester

Soon after our students return from fall break, academic advising and registration for the spring 2024 academic term will begin.

At Nebraska Wesleyan, our faculty serve as students’ academic advisors. They’re dedicated to meeting with each student individually. At an academic advising appointment, your student will receive experienced advice about academic planning. They can discuss any challenges impacting their academics, 获得建议, support and help with problem-solving strategies.
