Welcome back!  It is good to have each of you back on campus for the fall semester.  This is a reminder from campus ministries regarding chapels this semester.  We will scan cards again this year at the beginning of chapel.  Please have your ID card ready when you arrive at chapel.  If you need to leave the auditorium for any reason once you scan your card, you will be asked to hand it to the chapel scanner until you return.  If you forget your card, you will be asked to go back to get it in order to receive credit.

 

To check your chapel attendance or the chapel schedule, please go to the HU portal.  Please check your chapel attendance weekly to see that your credits are adding up as they should.  You need to have 30 chapels credits for the semester.  20 of those need to be the CORE chapels which take place on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.  The other 10 can be CORE or ELECTIVE credits.  If you have any questions regarding your chapel attendance or the schedule, please contact Jodi at ext. 4030.
