MMMM 6 December 2021

Welcome to December! We have two and a half weeks until break - hang in there. :) Now is the time to check your snapshot and trackers and talk with your teachers to make sure they are up to date. Focus on taking modules in the credits you are closest to completing. If you need something specific to wrap up a credit, talk with the teacher - we’ll do our best to accommodate.
