HPC Corner
Zoe Owens ’22, HPC liaison, began by addressing the widespread complaints about the laundry machines in residence halls. She explained that students must report maintenance issues via the laundry app, CSCPay, not through work orders.

Jordan Bates ’22, ASC, gave a brief presentation about taking classes credit/non-credit. She reminded students that the deadline to elect a course as credit/non is Feb. 18 at 11:59 p.m. She recommended the grading basis as an option for students who are feeling overwhelmed by their workload and recommended that students speak with an ASC or their Dean if they are considering taking a course credit/non. She also reminded students that to be eligible for Latin Honors upon graduation, they can only have taken a maximum of one quarter of graded classes as credit/non.
