Important dates and reminders for parents

October 30: Payment in full due for fall term. Refer to the Summary of Financial Procedures for more detail on Standard and Installment Payment Options. Visit stkate.edu and type Student Accounts in the search bar. Link to PDF file on Summary of Financial Procedures.

October 31: 1 percent finance charge is assessed for any fall term balance. (Reminder: Parents may ask their student to set them up as an "authorized user" on KatePay, which allows them to have access to their student's on-line student account activity and billing. Students need to go the Student Tab, click on KatePay under Student accounts, then click on Authorized User and select Add An Authorized User and follow the prompts.)

November 2: Midterm grades are due. Midterm grades provide students with a mid-point review of how they are doing. Students who are dissatisfied with their progress should talk with their professors to learn how they can improve. If a faculty member does not post a mid-term grade, encourage your student to speak directly to that instructor so she can assess her progress.

November 9: Speaker Series event: How to Support the Career Development Needs of Your Student, 7 p.m., 372 Coeur de Catherine.

November 14-December 1: Early Registration Period for winter semester 2012.

Advising To-Do's for your student:
  • Students will want to check for any HOLDS to make sure they are clear to register. They can do this by viewing KateWay.
  • Academic advisors are expecting students to contact them to meet about next-semester courses. Students will also use this meeting time to discuss any concerns about mid-term grades, information about intended majors and other questions.
  • Upperclass students will want to talk about the best time to conduct an internship, and learn about any research or teaching assistantships that are available in their major
The Office of Academic Advising has professional advisors who can meet with any student if her assigned academic advisor is not available.
