Extensions/Incompletes
Faculty legislation stipulates that "an instructor may report
a student's work as incomplete only if the student has been
given an excuse by the director of the health center or the dean
of the College because of an emergency." This means that
instructors may not accept exams or papers due in lieu of exams,
after noon on Thursday, May 15 (Monday, May 12 for seniors) unless
authorized by the director of health services for medical reasons,
or one of the academic deans in the dean of the College's
office for unforeseen emergencies. All other course work must
be turned in by May 6, the last day of classes. The deadline
for students to request authorization for an extension because
of incomplete work is noon on Thursday, May 15.
International Graduate Study and Research Grants Now Available
The Institute of International Education (IIE), in cooperation
with the U.S. Department of State and the J. William Fulbright
Foreign Scholarship Board, is pleased to announce the launch of
the 2004–2005 Fulbright U.S. Student Program competition.
For more than fifty-six years, the U.S. government-sponsored Fulbright
U.S. Student Program has provided future American leaders with
an unparalleled opportunity to study and conduct research in other
nations. Fulbright student grants aim to increase mutual understanding
among nations through educational and cultural exchange while
serving as a catalyst for long-term leadership development. The
U.S. Student Program awards approximately 1,000 grants annually
and currently operates in more than 140 countries. Fulbright full
grants generally provide funding for round-trip travel, maintenance
for one academic year, health and accident insurance, and full
or partial tuition. Fulbright travel-only grants are also available
to limited countries. Applicants to the Fulbright U.S. Student
Program must be U.S. citizens at the time of application and hold
a bachelor's degree or the equivalent by the beginning of the
grant. In the creative and performing arts, four years of professional
training and/or experience meets the basic eligibility requirement.
(Non-arts applicants lacking a degree but with extensive professional
study and/or experience in fields in which they wish to pursue
a project may also be considered.) For more information, applicants
should visit www.iie.org/fulbright.
Students currently enrolled at Mount Holyoke should contact Katya
King at kpking@mtholyoke.edu
for application forms and further information. Applications must
be submitted in full to King by September 29. Interested students
are invited to attend a Fulbright information session on Monday,
May 5, 4–5:30 pm, at the CDC workshop room. Alumnae of Mount
Holyoke interested in applying may also contact King. The Fulbright
U.S. Student Program does not require applicants to be currently
enrolled in a college or university. Applications from young professionals
interested in an international experience are encouraged.
