Daylight Saving 2011 Ends Nov 6th
Before you go to bed on November 5th you must remember to turn your clocks back one hour. Daylight Saving Time begins every spring, when we "spring forward" one hour, and ends every fall when we "fall back" one hour. Read here about how changing your clock actually helps you physically!
Check your Winter Quarter Registration Access Time
View your access time through Online Services, available now. Access times begin in November. Know your access time so that you can secure your winter classes at the first possible moment. As Alvin says, "You'll want to lock in your classes no more than 45 seconds from your registration access time!"

Transfer Fair on Nov 2nd
Schedule your NSA Today!
If you are a new academic student this quarter you must schedule a New Student Appointment (NSA) with your advisor. During the appointment, you and your advisor will talk about your passions, high school plus, university transfer, career goals, and discuss “big picture” questions about why you are here at GRCC and create an individualized degree plan that will meet your education objectives. You must complete your NSA by the end of November so you know exactly what classes to enroll in for future quarters.
Check your Passport Expiration Date Today!
Some countries (namely China, Moldova, Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia) require passport renewal before the passport is within six months of expiring. In fact, if your passport is from one of those countries, you will be out of status in the US if you do not renew your passport before that deadline. Several Chinese students have gone out of status recently because they failed to renew their passport before this early deadline! Be aware and take action!
For Smokers Only
Smoking is allowed on campus, but only in designated smoking areas. Student who smoke in other areas on campus run the risk of discipline. There have been many complaints about students smoking near building entrances. Please be considerate of others when you light up.
Application Essay Writing Support by Appointment on Thursdays
Are you beginning to fill out university transfer applications? Get some help with your essays on Thursdays in the IP Office. Charlotte will be reviewing essays and giving feedback on an appointment basis. Schedule ahead for your private 20 minute session on a Thursday.
Need help getting started? Charlotte is offering a workshop on Nov 1st! Check IP Facebook for all Transfer Workshops!
