Student Speaker Series Event For Graduate Students

For the first Student Speaker Series Event of the semester Marvin Chiles will share a dissertation chapter: "'Crime City:' Black Richmond and the Making of a 'Tough on Crime' Virginia", for graduate students to read and provide feedback on at the meeting on Friday September 21st. Interested graduate students should contact this year's Student Speaker Series Coordinator, Lauren Titley, at let94308@uga.edu for a copy of the reading prior to the 21st. The location will be updated closer to the event date.  

Reading Day

Reading days have been designated by the University Council to provide time for students to prepare for final exams. No mandatory assignments are to be scheduled for completion during reading days -- either for course work or for co-curricular activities. Exceptions for good cause can be made to this policy by the Office of the Vice President for Instruction. Nothing in this policy limits an instructor from scheduling optional study reviews for students during reading days.

All labs may administer tests or quizzes on the final instructional day. For purposes of this policy, student presentations to the class in a seminar or graduate course shall not be considered a test or a quiz.
