oÌýÌý Dr. Carney-HallÌý

oÌýÌý Housing purposes: it has been decided that cohort class will be usedÌý Ìý

oÌýÌý Formal mail-outs: both cohort and credit class are often usedÌý

oÌýÌý Email/senate notes: credit class is often used (If you would like to be added to your cohort senate notes contact Shiffrawat@hendrix.edu)Ìý

oÌýÌý Voting: this issue often comes up and it is up to the senate to change (currently voting is on a credit basis), if we would like to change voting to cohort, we would have to motion/vote to make this change.Ìý
