end of each list and term. You will receive an e-mail when new updates <strong>are</strong> posted.<br />

• Grades and Comments History – Here you can view the grades, comments and GPAs of years past.<br />

• Student Discipline – Here you can see up-to-the-day discipline records, including demerits and other disciplinary actions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> heading below Academic is My Accounts, which has the following links:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Directory refers to the Student/P<strong>are</strong>nt Directory. You can type a name in the search box, or click the Search Student/P<strong>are</strong>nt<br />

Directory Using Advanced Search Options link <strong>for</strong> a more detailed search. Here you have access to most of the in<strong>for</strong>mation that is<br />

<strong>available</strong> in our hard-copy campus directory. This in<strong>for</strong>mation is updated year-round, and can be trusted <strong>for</strong> accuracy better than<br />
