Scholars Requirements – Spring 2016

Posted on by

The basic requirements for the Rose Scholars program remain the same during the Spring semester: Scholars are expected to attend at least one Scholars event every week, submit a blog about it within 7 days of the event, and submit 5 comments about other Scholars’ posts over the course of the Spring semester.

  • The most significant difference this semester is that we count a total of 12 weeks in the Spring semester for the purposes of the Scholars program. The requirement begins January 27 and ends May 11.
  • Scholars are expected to attend an event and submit a post every week for a total of 12 posts.
  • You may count only one event *per calendar week* (Monday through Sunday) towards your Scholars requirement unless you have prior permission from Assistant Dean Jarrett Anthony.
  • Scholars may miss no more than three weeks and still receive an “S” (satisfactory) for the course.  In other words, in order to receive an S for the Spring semester, a Scholar must submit posts that meet the course requirements for at least 9 events held during 9 separate calendar weeks over the course of the Spring semester. Scholars who submit 8 or fewer posts will receive an U (unsatisfactory).
  • NEW CLARIFICATION THIS SEMESTER! Scholars are expected to arrive on time at the location designated in the weekly “What’s Happening @ Flora Rose House” email and must attend the event until the *end time* indicated in the event listing.  Sign in sheets will be made available at the end of the event.  If you have a conflict and need to leave early, you must notify and receive written permission (via email) from the organizing SA or GRF in advance.  Rose Café Only: if you need to leave before the listed end time (8PM), you may notify House Professor Garrick Blalock in person before he introduces the Café speaker. (Occasionally events continue after the official end time.  To receive credit for attending, you are expected stay until the end time indicated on the event listing.  If you need to leave before the end of the event, please leave quietly so as not to disturb other participants.)
  • The Scholars program is designed to be flexible and accommodate any schedule.  If you have any concerns about your ability to meet the program requirements, please contact Assistant Dean Jarrett Anthony.
