Registrar's Notes

February 23, 2009

Midterm grading continues

Please remind instructors to let their students know when they enter midterm grades.

Summer I/II registration

Registration for summer courses continues. WMU is and will continue to run ads in the school newspapers of other public schools aimed at students who may be coming back to this area for the summer. The ads encourage them to consider taking courses as a guest student here. The ad directs these students to http://www.wmich.edu/admissions/guest/index.html for information on becoming a guest student this summer.

You will also see ads coming in the Western Herald as well as posters around campus advertising summer courses.

Note that there are a variety of online courses offered, WMU students going home for the summer can take a summer WMU course from home!
