Grad App Due Date

Feb. 16

See, this is perfect. You’re graduating, so of course you’re reading all the Ebbtide you can before you leave. You’re probably so distracted by it that you almost forgot to submit your graduation application. Luckily, you’re reading this on the day it comes out, so you’re fine.

Winter Ball

6-9 p.m., Feb. 16, PUB Main Dining Room

President’s Day

Feb. 19

Frankly, I think both Washington and Lincoln deserve their own federal holidays so I can further my learning outside of school. You know, going to museums and studying with my chums. This sounds like a joke, but those are actually my plans. You can do whatever though.

Last day: W & Audit

Feb. 21

Last day to switch to or from auditing a class, also last day to drop and get the “W” on your transcript.

Unsure of your eligibility? Come by anyway, you might be pleasantly surprised.
