The midterm exam schedule and rules have been posted to your MyNFA student portal. Exams, which begin on January 16, are fast approaching. Be sure to review the schedule and guidelines, as well as finish any necessary work in your classes. Check in with your teachers! Enhancing Communications In an effort to declutter your inbox, the Communications Office is modifying how it delivers information to you. This trial comes after two focus group discussions with members of SAB and other students. Sunday Night Reminder like this one will continue as usual, providing a synopsis of the week ahead with information targeted to larger audiences. During this trial, however, Daily Notices will no longer be emailed to students every day. You provided us feedback that indicates we are filling your inbox too much and that you aren’t reading this information as often as we’d like. There is, however, an interest in still seeing the information, just in a less direct way of delivery. Daily Notices will be the featured element on your MyNFA student portal, and it’ll be updated as necessary during the week. This will continue to include more detailed information about clubs, activities, college visits and more. We will drive additional reminders to portal access through digital signage and social media tools. Yes, you’re getting less email, but the same information is there, and the best way to stay informed is to check your MyNFA>Student Portal Dashboard daily for new information. Attendance Appeals Reminder: Attendance Appeals are due no later than 2:30 pm,Thursday, January 9. Download the Attendance Appeals Application, and find all the information you need under "Student Attendance Appeals" on your MyNFA>Student Portal Dashboard. Questions?
