Upcoming Changes to OPT III Curriculum
The curriculum committee, composed of faculty, student affairs and student representation, has made changes to the third-year curriculum that will be implemented in Fall 2018 and Spring 2019.
First, Optometry 7210 will be moving from the spring semester to the autumn. The name of this course is changing to Managing Optometric Healthcare Practice Operations to better reflect the content of the course. This course will remain a three credit hour course, however, two hours will be in-person, and one hour will be taught online.
Second, Optometry 6240, Third Party Payment Plans, will be move to the spring semester.
Finally, Vision Science 7620 – Public Health & Environmental Vision, will become an online/in-person hybrid course with two hours per week in online material and one hour in-person that will be used for guest speakers and exams.
We know these changes will improve the curricular design and the student experience here at the college.
Tables in the Hallways Outside of 33 and 22 Fry
Due to fire code regulations, we need to make the following changes to the placement of tables in the hallways outside of 33 and 22 Fry. If a table is needed for food (or anything else) and your event is in 33 Fry, please set the table up in 33 Fry rather than the hallway. If a table is needed in 22 Fry, you may set up a table outside of 22, but please move it immediately once you are finished. Thanks!
Fry 11 Scanner
Please note that any of the files and folders in the Fry 011 Scanner directory are accessible to all users. If you scan something that contains sensitive data such as driver’s license, passport, tax info, bank account information, etc., please move it immediately from the X:drive to your U:drive. The X:\FRY 011 SCANNER folder is emptied nightly.
Don’t Forget To Complete Your SEIs
Today (April 24) is the last day to submit SEIs for the spring semester. Please take a few moments to complete your SEIs and make sure you’ve clicked all the way to the end of the survey and completed all the questions. We look forward to your feedback.
This is the last Snellen Letter for the class of 2018!
