Campus update for Nov. 20, 2020
Nov. 20, 2020
Reminder: The application deadline for J-term and spring semester distance learning is 4:30 p.m. today.
To apply as a first-time distance learner, you must complete this form for each term. (If you are distance learning for the remainder of the academic year, you will need to complete two intention forms: one for J-term and one for spring semester.)
If you choose to be a spring distance learner, your cost of attendance will be adjusted, and you will receive a new award letter from Financial Aid. Any decrease in financial assistance (gift aid) will be capped at no more than $2,000 for the spring semester.
You will receive a distance learning finalization form to confirm your final decision, on or before Dec. 16. If you have any questions, contact the Dean of Students.

Kirsten Parr '20 sent in an Augie A photo from Juneau, Alaska, where she is working with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps Northwest AmeriCorps program. She wanted to serve and live in a different place before deciding on graduate school. "Life is supposed to be a series of adventures and embracing the unknown," she says. "I’ve absolutely loved the people I’ve met so far and the kids at the youth center I serve at are just so fun and energetic!"
