Student Spotlight Raffle
Share your summer experience and you could win an Amazon gift card!
We are currently looking for students to share their exciting experiences in three categories: (1) study abroad and domestic exchange, (2) internship and volunteer experience, and (3) research experience. If you have stories to share that encompass any of these three categories, we encourage you to enter the contest via this form: EnviSci Student Spotlight Contest.
All entries will be highlighted in posts on the EnviSci Blog and EnviSci Instagram. Apply soon, because the deadline for contest submissions is September 13th! We will announce the winners shortly thereafter!
Good luck to all who enter! We’re excited to learn about all the incredible stories you have!
This is a reminder that the add/drop period will end after this Wednesday, September 8th! This means that until the end of the day on Wednesday, students are free to enroll in or drop courses using Spire without any record on their transcript. To avoid any complications with adding and/or dropping courses, keep these following points in mind:
- The minimum credit load to maintain status as a full time student is 12 credits. Be careful your credit load does not drop below 12 credits if you decide to drop a course. The best way to avoid this? Enroll in another course before dropping the first one. Once enrolled in this second course, you can go ahead and drop the first one.
- Students enrolling in a course during add/drop are responsible for any course material or work assigned in the first week. If you enroll in a new course and aren’t sure what you’re responsible for, contact the professor.
- After Wednesday, students wishing to drop courses will still be able to do so through October 28th. However, between September 8th and October 29th dropped classes will appear with a “W” meaning “withdrawn” on students’ transcripts.
And as always, if you have questions about add/drop, don’t hesitate to contact an advisor.

Also note that strict COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place including mask wearing and social distancing for the entire duration of the walk.
