Academics

Fall Break is scheduled for October 15 and 16

Students should not plan to leave campus early for travel purposes. Our policy states that unless it is a family emergency, students are expected to attend classes the week prior to the break and faculty are required to meet all of their regularly scheduled classes. There are no "excused" absences (illness, funerals, athletic contests, and other necessary absences are included in the total number of absences counted)

You never get a second chance to make a first impression!

Let the Enterprise Resource Center help you make a great first impression!  Want help writing a COVER LETTER and RESUME?  Contact Joanne at x4310 or email jgreen@huntington.edu for more information.
