"W" Day

ndeverse@ghc.edu (Nanct DeVerse) — Wed, 2 Mar 2011 22:32:07 GMT

Date: Wed, Jun 1, 2011 Description: Every quarter, a day is designated as �W� day or withdrawal day. This is the last day that a student can withdraw from an individual class or classes while staying enrolled in others. To withdraw students must complete a drop/add form and return it to the Admissions and Records Office. A student may withdraw from all classes any time during the quarter and should go to the counseling center to do so.

If you officially drop by this date, your transcript will show a �W� for the course and your quarterly GPA will not be affected. If you stop attending and do not officially drop the class, you will receive a "V" (vanish) grade. A "V" grade is calculated as an "F" into your GPA.

If you are receiving financial aid, be sure to check with the Financial Aid Office before dropping any class.

Important Terms

Entry Code and when do I need one?
An entry code is a special number needed to register for a class on the Web (or at the Admissions & Records Office). They are necessary when a student does not meet the prerequisites listed for a class. It is also used for courses that require �Instructor permission�. The instructor of the course issues an entry code for a class. The entry code can only be used once. We will be
accepting no signatures in place of entry codes.

Personal Identification Numbers (PINS)
There are two different types of PIN�s for students:

1. Quarterly Registration PIN � is a 6 digit number given to students by their advisor for web registration. It will change every
quarter until a student has earned more than 23 credits.

2. Global PIN � is a 4 to 6 digit number issued by the Admissions & Records Office when students are admitted. This PIN provides access to official, personal information such as grades, schedules and degree audits. Students who have 24 credits or more will also use it to register. It does not change unless the student changes it themselves.

Who can I call for help?
If you experience difficulty, you can call the Admissions & Records office at 360 538-4028

The innovative programs and services and array of membership benefits offered by Phi Theta Kappa are unequaled among honor societies.

Phi Theta Kappa's mission is two-fold: 1) recognize and encourage the academic achievement of two-year college students and (2) provide opportunities for individual growth and development through participation in honors, leadership, service and fellowship programming. Co-curricular programs focus upon the Society's Hallmark of Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Fellowship. It is estimated that 200,000 students participate in Phi Theta Kappa programs each year. Annually, approximately 100,000 students are inducted into Phi Theta Kappa.

What are the benefits of becoming a Phi Theta Kappa member?

Members of Phi Theta Kappa may apply for more than $36 million in transfer scholarships, provided exclusively to Society members by more than 600 senior institutions.
Enrollment in The Transfer Database, used by hundreds of senior colleges and universities to recruit Phi Theta Kappa transfer students.
Letter of recommendation sent to a college admissions counselor, scholarship official or potential employer.

You may have already heard that due to the number of students walking for graduation this year, we have decided to rent tents and hold the ceremony outside between the HUB and the gym. Parking on upper campus is limited, so we have asked students to park on lower campus after dropping off their guests. I am requesting that if it�s possible for GHC staff to park on lower campus, I would appreciate that also. We will have vans that will be shuttling those who park on lower campus and need a ride up the hill.

Grades posted to transcripts

ndeverse@ghc.edu (Nancy DeVerse) — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 16:32:54 GMT

Date: Tue, Jun 21, 2011 Description: How to Access Your Grades

Grades are not mailed to you at the end of the quarter. You can access your unofficial transcript (grades) through the Student Records KIOSK. All grades for the quarter are usually available on the Tuesday following finals week. If you have any fines against your account you will be blocked from viewing your grades.

You'll Need Your Student ID number and Global PIN...

A Student Identification number (SID) and a Global PIN number were assigned to you when you were officially admitted as a new GHC student. When used together, your SID and Global PIN give you access to your personal academic information through the Information Kiosk. (i.e. your grades, financial aid info, degree audit, etc). Your global PIN remains the same unless you change it. This is not the number you use to register for classes!

These numbers were sent to you via mail but, if you forget them you can take a picture ID to the Admissions and Records Office where they can provide the information.
For security reasons, this information cannot be e-mailed to you or given out over the phone.
