The following information is from the Block I Office, part of
the Office of Academic Programs (OAP). If you have any questions or concerns regarding
curriculum, academics, course waivers, class schedules, or exam dates,
call the Block I Office at (517) 884-1857 or email Lora McAdams,
Block I Curriculum Assistant, or Dr. Cindy Arvidson, Block I Director. For any questions or concerns about CHM policies, email Dr. Janet Osuch, Assistant Dean, Preclinical Programs.
MANDATORY ATTENDANCE DAYS Students are REQUIRED to be on campus on the first day of classes each semester and the first day following any mid-semester break. The dates you are required to be on campus for the 2009-10 Academic Year are: Prematriculation: Saturday, August 22, 2009 – Sunday, August 30, 2009 There are also REQUIRED small group meetings during the week of Thanksgiving (Monday, November 23 - Wednesday, November 25, 2009). On August 27, 2010 (tentative), you will have a REQUIRED Block II Orientation. The above list is NOT all-inclusive. Expect additional dates to be added to this list. |
These dates are provided to you in advance so that you may make vacation/other plans accordingly. |
If you would like to make any special requests regarding your schedule for labs and/or small groups (clinical skills), you must email Lora McAdams by July 15, 2009. You must provide a substantive reason for making this request - simply wanting an earlier lab time, for example, is not a valid reason. Reasons for making special requests include such things as child care issues, work or research, carpooling, or a long commute. When making your request, provide your preferred time(s) for lab/small groups and a substantive reason for your request. Examples of substantive reasons include:
"For small group experiences that don't last all afternoon, please schedule me for the earliest time possible because I have child care issues."
"When possible, please schedule my lab and my small group on the same day because I commute."
"Please avoid Tuesday afternoons for labs because I work."
Please keep in mind that all scheduling requests may not be granted; sometimes it simply isn't feasible. The Block I Office will try to accommodate all reasonable requests, but do not assume your request has been granted until you are notified of your final schedule.
