End of the Term
Tomorrow is the final day of the spring semester. If you've worked steadily toward your goals, your final assignments and activities should be completed or nearly so. Remember that your grades are posted in My E-Hive...they'll be available after Memorial Day. Congratulations on your academic progress.

Summer and Fall Enrollment is Underway
Last call for first summer session, and time to act for fall! If you haven't completed advising and registration, make your advising appointment today.

Check Your Summer Course Schedule
It's important to remember that Summer College courses don't all start on May 19th. Many courses start in June, and others in July. The start and end dates for each course are listed in the schedule. Make a note!

Learn@UW-Superior Outage
Learn@UW-Superior will be unavailable over the Memorial Day weekend for an important system upgrade. The outage will last from 8 PM Thursday, May 22nd through Tuesday, May 27th. Please plan your summer course activities around this outage. The scheduling is certainly inconvenient, but this time period was the preference of the majority of UW System campuses.

Congratulations to our Graduates!
Twenty-five of you will graduate Saturday - one of our largest groups in years. Those of you who will cross the stage can relax for a moment and reflect on your accomplishments. You've come a long way indeed.

Be sure to join us before the ceremony for the group photo at 1:10 PM. Look for the Distance Learning sign near the student lineup area.
