Registrar

Allegheny does not offer regular classes during the summer, but students may request faculty to supervise internships and Independent Studies. Information on fees and registration is available on the Summer Work page.

The deadline to Drop a Spring course is 5 p.m. on Monday, February 18. Signed cards must be turned in to the Registrar’s Office by the deadline; late cards will not be processed.

Drop cards must be signed by the course instructor. Because faculty members’ office hours vary, students are strongly advised to request any needed signatures as soon as possible.

SENIORS: if you plan to graduate in May, make sure not to drop any course you need to complete your graduation requirements, including the major, minor, distribution, and total credit requirements. If you do not remain registered to meet all requirements, you will not be permitted to walk in the May Commencement ceremony.

Please contact the Registrar’s Office if you have any questions.

Students: if you received a grade of Incomplete last semester and are enrolled at Allegheny this semester, next Tuesday, February 12, is the last day that you may submit completed work to the instructor. Please note that, depending on the circumstances, some instructors may have set earlier deadlines for some work, and this final deadline does not override any earlier deadlines set by instructors.

Faculty: grades for Incompletes are due to the Registrar’s Office by Friday, February 22. Please email the final grade to us by 5 p.m. on that date.

English 501, READ Internship, supports the Crawford County READ program that provides adult literacy tutoring for community residents. Students are first trained as tutors and then spend 40 service hours working with adult learners in a supervised environment. No previous coursework in English or teaching experience is required.

For more information or to register for the course, please contact Professor George Byrnes (gbyrnes@allegheny.edu).

Catalogue description:

A service-learning internship conducted jointly by the English Department and the Crawford County Literary Council (“READ”). Following tutor training, students spend at least 40 hours in service to adult learners through the READ Program in Meadville in supervised situations. Students submit weekly descriptions of tutoring activities and maintain a monthly log of hours served. Students also fulfill a series of academic requirements that include reading and commenting on a series of texts about literacy and completing academic writing assignments that explore literacy issues in more detail. This course must be taken on a letter-grade basis and meets weekly for one hour; tutoring times are arranged on an individual basis. Students are responsible for making travel arrangements to the tutoring site.

“Covering Conflict” (ENGL 402: Topics in Journalism) M/W 3:30-4:45 p.m.

From Professor Cheryl Hatch:

We’ll focus on the effects and aftermath of war: on reporters, soldiers, civilians. Effects on the environment and global health could be part of the conversation.

We’ll be covering war
We’ll be covering wars in Vietnam, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Wars with U.S. involvement or lack thereof.

We’ll meet and interview war correspondents. We’ll read a wide range of books by soldiers and journalists and we’ll study documentaries and Hollywood films and their portrayals of war.

This is the first time this course has been offered at Allegheny College. Professor Cheryl Hatch has more than two decades’ experience as an international correspondent and photojournalist. For more than a decade, she has covered conflict in the Middle East and Africa (including Iraq, Somalia, Liberia and Afghanistan). You may view some of her work online  and read her blog posts from Afghanistan last year.

Please contact Professor Hatch for more information. Phone: 332-3237. Email: chatch@allegheny.edu
