Those of you off campus on February 2, be sure and print your grades and put them either in the box in the office, CT 62 or in my box or in my hand in B201.
Let me know if your numbers are too high in a class or unbalanced (low in one class and high in another), as the counseling office is trying to work on getting things better balanced. Keep in mind though, that early senior release has made some classes low in numbers in the afternoons, In addition, all changes have a cascading effect, so classes will be looked at, but changes may or may not happen.
