2010 Auburn Student Giving Campaign

If every student at Auburn University gave an average of $20, we would have almost $500,000 to support the programs that mean the most to you on this campus.  You can designate your gift to any school, college, department, program scholarship, or gift fund that you choose. By participating in the student campaign, we demonstrate to others that we value this university. Give to an area important to you. It is not the level of your gift - it is your participation that counts.  The school/college with the highest participation rate from its students will receive an additional $5,000 from an Auburn alum.  The school/college with the second highest participation rate will receive $2,500.  Join your fellow classmates and make a gift to the University that has done so much for you!    This campaign begins February 1 and ends on March 10....so make your donation today and help COSAM win for the best college on campus!!!!!

WANT TO GIVE........Click here!

For more information, please contact Brook Moates at moateeb@auburn.edu or visit 2010 Auburn Student Giving Campaign for a list of Student Development Board members.

COSAM Peer Instructors

DO YOU WANT TO BE A COSAM PEER INSTRUCTOR????

COSAM Peer Instructors are Juniors and Seniors that enjoy helping their fellow COSAM peers.  As a Peer Instructor, one would assist with Mandatory Advising, help teach the Pre Health Orientation course (that is taught to Freshman), and one would serve as an example and mentor for fellow students.   This is a paid position, and requires variable hours per week.  If you are intersted, please come by and pick up an application beginning this Wednesday February 3 in 239 SCC.  Rising Juniors and Seniors in COSAM with at least a 3.0 GPA are encouraged to apply.  All applications are due Monday February 15th by 4:45 PM.  Call backs for interviews will be posted by 4:45 PM on Wednesday February 17th, and all interviews will take place on Monday and Tuesday February 22 and 23.  If you have any additional questions, please contact Emily Williams at ehw0002@auburn.edu .

COSAM Peer Instructors: A Student's perspective

Peer instructor sign-ups are just around the corner!  This is a great opportunity for students not only to give back to COSAM but make some extra money.  A peer instructor plays an active role in helping fellow students with making their schedules, as well as provide an insight on how to approach a particular course.  While academic advisors are the backbone for our college, by guiding COSAM students in the right direction academically, peer instructors are able to provide their fellow students with a different angle based off of personal experience.  On top of it all, you get to hang with some of COSAM's finest!   If this sounds like something that interests you, PLEASE come and turn in your application.  This definitely would be a great experience for anyone!

New Year, New Semester

Well, the Spring 2010 semester has been off and running for almost 3 weeks now. Which is really hard to believe, it seems like only yesterday that the university was closed for 2 weeks for Winter Break!

By this time in the semester you probably have not had your first test yet, but you may have had a quiz or two. And you may be starting to sweat because you are not understanding some of the inforamtion that is being presented to you in class. Well, something that may not be aware of is that Auburn University has an amazing set of tutoring and academic services to help students who are struggling.

The key to being successful in college is not being afraid to ask for help, and by visiting the Academic Support website, you will be linked to many of the tutoring services that are available on campus. In addition to Academic Support, several of the deparments in COSAM, also offer tutoring. If you wish to get a copy of these, you will need to stop by 239 SCC, we have copies of all the departmental tutoring information located at the front desk.

Its that time again....

It is that time again, the end of the semester...... time for studying endlessly and getting ready for the winter break. Just a few things to think about......

1. Studying-Do not wait until the last minute to beginning studying! There are resources on campus if you need help. Student Academic Support is located in the bottom floor of the library, and can be reached at 844-5972.

2.. Grade Adjustment Policy (GAP)- If you are going to be suspended, or if you want to GAP a class...you CAN NOT do this until the grade has officially posted to your record. To GAP a class you need to simply come by our office, in 239 SCC, and fill out the form. GAPping a course, will remove the calculation of that particular grade from your Auburn GPA, but the course will still be visible on your transcript. If you have questions, contact your academic advisor at 844-4269.

3. Registration- If you still have not come to get unblocked for the Spring 2010 semester...you need to do so ASAP. The longer you wait to get unblocked, the more likely chance that you are not going to be able to register for classes you need for the Spring. If you have questions please contact your advisor at 844-4269.

Finally, have a wonderful, safe holiday and we will see in 2010!!!
