Appreciation for CU Faculty

As we reach the end of this academic year, we invited our Capstone students to send in notes of appreciation for faculty that that helped them in their CU journey. Here are their notes.

End-of-Semester Reminders

Spring Grades & Narrative Evaluations - Due May 17


Grades are due in Campus Cafe on May 17 for Spring Session 2 and 3 courses.


Review the Grade & Narrative Evaluation Submission Guidelines for guidance on:

  • Posting end of semester narratives for students in Moodle
  • Entering final official grades in Campus Cafe
  • note: grades are calculated in Moodle and final official grades are entered in Campus Cafe
  • Submitting Incomplete (“I”) grades for students
Further resources are available on the Faculty Resource Site.

Incompletes


You can review CU's Incomplete policy under Grading Policies in the Academic Catalog.

You can also review information about Incompletes and access the Incomplete form on the Faculty Resource Site.


These resources will provide an overview of the requirements to be eligible for an Incomplete grade, the process of submitting an Incomplete, and the process of completing for a Grade Change.

Summer & Fall Registration

Lab Faculty Advising Check-in - Due May 17


Due to low registration numbers for the Fall at this stage of the year, we are asking Lab Faculty to maintain and send us their own Registration Check-In Form for continuing students in their cohort(s) that tracks registration . This form tracks registration and registration-related advising for each student.


If you haven’t yet reviewed the End-of-Semester Advising Guide, please review now for current and future reference, and continue to be in touch with your students over the Summer.

Faculty Resource Site Updates

New Capstone Student Advising Resource


A new “What Happens After Capstone” information sheet has been added to the Faculty Resource site. This resource is great for Lab Faculty, Students, and Capstone Instructors to discuss what comes next after capstone! This resource is shared under Advising resources for Lab Faculty, and on the (new) Capstone section where we hope to continue adding faculty resources for this Core Course.
