Winter Quarter Schedule Adjustment

Here's what's being done to help address the lost days from weather and power outages:

Due to the campus closure because of snow, ice, and loss of power, Thursday, February 16th (Advising Day) and Friday, March 16th (Faculty Day) will become instructional days.

As a result, students who have scheduled classes that meet on Thursdays will attend class on February 16th and those who have scheduled classes that meet on Fridays will attend class on March 16th.

Because there will not be a designated Advising Day, students will need to contact their assigned advisor prior to their assigned registration date and time to discuss class and degree planning.

  • Registration for spring quarter 2012 will begin for CURRENTLY enrolled students on February 21, 2012. Current students are those who were enrolled during fall 2011 and/or winter 2012. Registration times will fall between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. February 21st and 22nd and between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on February 23rd.
  • Registration for spring quarter 2012 will begin for NEW students on February 27, 2012.

Access and Regular Expressions

Using regular expressions (regex) came up in one of the CIS245 groups yesterday. I've spent some time searching Microsoft and Access developer sites, and not found any discussions or references for using regex outside of Visual Basic for Applications. It looks like regex validation requires creation of a VBA function. If we get time later in the quarter, I'll try and bring an example into CIS245.

Here are some shots of what the campus looked like with the snowfall and falling trees...

Schedule Changes

I've revised the due dates for homework in all three class. The due dates for each class can be found using the calendar links in Current Courses. Here's what's coming up:

  • CIS145 Homework #2 is due Monday 1/30/2012;
  • CIS166 Homework #2 is due Friday 1/27/2012;
  • CIS245 Homework #2 is due Tuesday 1/31/2012;

Each week I'll be reviewing our progress to see if additional changes need to be made, so make sure to check the calendar for your class regularly.

Welcome back!

Class Cancelled Thursday Too...

As of 1/18/2012 @ 2:46: "The Olympia Campus and Hawks Prairie Center will be closed 1-19-12 to all students, employees, and visitors."

We'll figure out how to get back on track when the snow stops. Whether we have class on Friday will determine when the second homework assignment in each class is due. Here's what I'm thinking:

College Closed Wednesday 1/18

SPSCC is closed again today due to the weather. I'll be making schedule changes to account for the missed days. Don't worry about getting homework turned in, but make sure you're doing this week's reading. Be safe, and enjoy the snow.
