HOW TO CONFIRM ATTENDANCE

Everyone needs to CONFIRM THEIR ATTENDANCE by February 4th, or you will be DROPPED from your classes. Instructions are below. Please stop by the Academic Center if you have any questions.

PLEASE DO NOT WALK THROUGH SHROYER GYM AND REC CENTER

Now that the weather has turned, we are having some issues surrounding access to Shroyer Gym. The current arrangement with access to Shroyer (coaches having keys, and access through the weight room) was developed to accommodate those students and coaches who need to access Shroyer for PRACTICE. It was not developed to accommodate students and staff who want to avoid the elements and “CUT THROUGH” the building.

This is not appropriate use of the access designed for other purposes. We will be posting signs soon and locking the access door during periods of the day (particularly when team practices are not scheduled). Please do not inconvenience the weight room staff by knocking on the door for access or setting off the alarm.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
