The Last Weeks of Class
As the semester draws to a close, you should verify that you are on track with all term assignments and upcoming deadlines. Review the goals you have set for yourself on your Class Profiles; are you approaching those goals? If you are unsure about your standing in a course or what assignments are due, schedule an out-of-class appointment with your instructor as soon as possible so you may discuss where you are and what you have left to do.
Once you know what you need to do to successfully complete the semester, use your time manager to note deadlines along with times set aside to study and complete assignments. Follow through with your plans and complete assignments meeting the deadlines set by your instructors.

Being Ready for Finals
In preparing for your final weeks of class, make sure you schedule in your exam times as well as adequate time to prepare for them. In each of your classes, your instructor should have indicated when and where your final exam will take place.
Review your course syllabus and Class Profiles so you are aware of your standing going in to the final. Calculate what you want to earn on each exam to achieve the goals you set for yourself on your Progress Monitors.
Getting Your Grades
About 3 days after exams end for the term, you may access your grades for that term using ELROY on Campus Pipeline. If you have questions about a grade in a particular class, contact the instructor as soon as possible to have things clarified. See the specific procedures outlined in the catalog (remember that time limitations may apply), should you wish to pursue the matter any further.
Selling Your Books
Many students sell some of their textbooks from one semester to help pay for the next term's books. You may decide to keep some books that relate to your major for reference later in your college career.
Check out the campus bookstore and the used book exchange for book dates near exam times. The campus bookstore brings in company representatives who buy back books for cash. The used book exchange, operated by Phi Beta Lambda, allows students to buy and sell textbooks on a consignment basis.
