Announcements

• Dec. 17 -- Final announcement.  All grades have been entered and should be heading to the Registrar's Office shortly.  Due to SASIT policy, no course grades will be posted until January 2, 2003.  Please check the ITEC bulletin board behind the elevator on the 5th floor of Atkinson next semester.  Programs 3, 4, and 5 will be on the shelves in the CLAS lab as soon as we get them back from the TAs.  If you have a marking dispute, please submit a regrading form to the head TA -- but please remember that something less than 2% will not change your letter grade.  If you have a grade entering problem, please give your graded assignment to the program secretary in Atkinson 527 with a note attached which includes your name and email address.  Good luck in ITEC1630!
