I am a student at the University of Alabama, but I am from Wisconsin. I want to take a class over the summer, for transfer back to the University of Alabama only.
The Elevator Pitch is important for networking, informational interviewing, meeting employers at career fairs, and interviewing for a job, internship, or graduate school program. For some people, "Tell me about yourself," is the hardest interview question, and it will always be asked in a professional setting. To learn how to create your elevator pitch, check out "Elevator Pitch | Examples on How to Perfect Your Speech" by Open Colleges.

It is that time of the term when some students may be starting to feel a little queasy about the final grades they might earn this term. So, let’s say hypothetically that your grades are not good. What comes next?
(Please note that this email is about academic status. Financial Aid has different policies as dictated by the federal government.)
Good Standing
As an undergraduate student, as long as your term GPA, your cumulative GPA and your major GPA are all above 2.00, you are still academically in good standing. The only exception to this is if you have failed the same course twice; that would cause you to be automatically suspended. The 2.00 level is important because it is the minimum level needed to earn an undergraduate degree from MSOE. Both a cumulative and major GPA of 2.00 or above are required to graduate.
Some of you may be reading this and thinking “Whew! I should just squeak by above 2.00. All is well!” If you are one of these students, I encourage you to think about the bulleted points below but also read the Help is Available section at the bottom of the page. Please remember that 2.00 is the minimum required to be in good standing. There is room for improvement.
Academic Probation
Subject to Suspension
Notification
If you are on Probation or Subject to Suspension status after your final grades are posted, a letter will be mailed to the local school year address we have on file for you. Those letters typically are mailed Wednesday of break week. If you think you may receive a letter, please make sure that your mailing address is up-to-date. Make your changes on the main Students page in myMSOE or at https://resources.msoe.edu/AddressUpdate/.
Help is Available
Whether you fit into one of these statuses or will squeak by above the 2.00 requirements, you may want to talk with someone about your academic difficulties. There are many resources available. I know it is hard for many of you to reach out. I know it sometimes hurts your pride to admit you need help. Since this is a really long email and you have read this far, I have a feeling fixing the issues yourself or ignoring them in hopes that they magically resolve themselves may not be working. I encourage you to seek assistance!
Withdrawing from All Classes
Although it is too late to drop individual classes from your schedule, you still have the option to withdraw from all of your classes. The deadline for withdrawing is Friday of 10th week, November 13, at 4:30 pm. Although it may seem extreme to withdraw, if none of your classes are going well, you should at least consider it as an option. If you withdraw, you will not earn final grades in your classes. Your transcripts will show grades of W (for withdraw) and your GPA will not be affected. Make sure you know the academic and financial consequences of this decision; discuss the option with your advisor, someone in Counseling Services, and/or someone in Financial Aid so you can make a well-informed decision. Withdrawing from your classes does not prohibit you from registering for next quarter.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help connect you to any of our resource people on campus. Have a great day!

Veterans,
I strongly encourage all veterans to show up to the luncheon, even if it is just for a few minutes. Come have some good food and you may win a raffle prize. I’ve been told that there is close to $1000.00 in prizes that have been donated from faculty and local Milwaukee companies.
Besides the good food and awesome prizes several influential people and companies will be there to give you thanks for your service. These companies are looking to make contact with potential new employees. Show up, give them a face to remember. Also, MSOE brass will be there to see all the veterans that need help. Now is the time to show them how many people they can help by providing a lounge, priority registration, transfer credits, etc.
Again, I strongly encourage you to show up. The luncheon goes on for two hours (12-2) on Monday (11/9). I understand time is precious, but we have an opportunity to show everyone here at MSOE who were are and how they can help.
Thank you and I hope to see you there,
Matt
