Senior Wall Painting: SUNY Oneonta Class of 2013

SUNY Oneonta logo“Painting the wall” is a longstanding tradition for students at SUNY Oneonta and neighboring Hartwick College. Throughout the year, students take turns painting the concrete wall on West Street, just below the Hartwick campus and a few blocks from the main SUNY Oneonta campus entrance, to advertise campus and community events. An enthusiastic group of SUNY Oneonta seniors painted the wall Thursday morning in celebration of the college’s 124th commencement, to be held on Saturday, May 18.

UB Makes Graduation Pledge to Incoming Freshman With Finish in 4

Students who fulfill all obligations of their plan, but who are not able to graduate within four years, will be given the opportunity to complete the UB courses required for their degree free of any tuition and comprehensive fee charges.

The University at Buffalo is ready to strike a deal with its incoming Class of 2016 with a new program called Finish in 4.

While nearly all of UB’s undergraduate majors can be completed in four years, most students in the U.S. take longer, sometimes as long as six years, to receive their degrees. Finish in 4 will provide students with clear information and guidance on exactly what it takes to complete their degree within the traditional four-year timeframe.

UB students who sign the Finish in Four pledge will be given a roadmap of what courses to take and when, and what grades and other requirements must be met. UB will also provide regular academic, career and financial advisement to enable students to complete their degrees on time.

In turn, students must fulfill their requirements pertaining to academic advisement, course registration and grades.

Students who fulfill all obligations of their plan, but who are not able to graduate within four years, will be given the opportunity to complete the UB courses required for their degree free of any tuition and comprehensive fee charges.
