Start of the term communications

Around the start of the semester, the Communications team sends out key messaging to students, faculty, and staff to support a smooth start to the term. We target these messages to specific groups at specific times. Here are a few highlights of what we’ve sent this spring:

• Reminders to students about the first day of attendance policy, billing statements, dates and deadlines, One Stop hours, and encouragement to capture their class schedule ahead of time. We deliver this information through email and MyU.
• Reminders to instructors about the first day of attendance policy, legitimate absences and makeup work, grading basis policy, waitlists, Academic Alerts, and other resources.
• Reminders to staff about One Stop’s service hours, scheduling and classroom support, and encouragement to help faculty with rosters and class formats.
