Seminar Attendance for UNIV 400 A and B
You will receive an e-mail announcement approximately two weeks before each seminar. This message will be sent to your Case e-mail account. You are responsible for reading your Case e-mail account on a regular basis. If you do not receive regular messages, you should contact Judith Olson-Fallon at 216-368-8825 or send an e-mail to judith.olson-fallon@case.edu immediately.
Since many seminars are held at lunch time, please feel free to bring your lunch.
Seminar registration will begin after the drop/add period. You may register up to 5:00 p.m. before the day of a seminar. We do not accept walk-in registrations. We recommend that you arrive about 10 minutes before the seminar begins in order to sign in and to receive your small-group assignment.
A sign-in sheet is provided at each seminar. This sign-in sheet is our way of checking attendance. If your signature does not appear on the sign-in sheet, you will not receive credit for that seminar.
Within two weeks of any seminar, the attendance will be posted on this site. You should check your attendance regularly. If you have any questions regarding your attendance, please contact Judith Olson-Fallon at 216-368-8825 or judith.olson-fallon@case.edu.
