Ask Advisor Alex and Other Apt Advice for the Week of April 14, 2008
-
Hunter is open 4/21-4/25, even though there are no classes in session. This can be a great opportunity to take care of any loose ends you may have been putting off because the offices tend to be quiet and you can get in faster to meet with someone. Note that office hours may vary from normal during the break, so you should call before coming. Advising Services will be open Monday-Thursday 9-5 and Friday 9-3.

Did you know that you can attend other CUNY colleges over the summer, but have the courses and grades automatically applied to your Hunter transcript by using the e-permit system? For more information talk to an advisor or click here: http://portal.cuny.edu/cms/id/cuny/documents/informationpage/001141.htm
Ask Advisor Alex
Dear Advisor Alex:
I am trying to get my GPA up so I can apply to the Education program. If I am pretty sure what grades I am going to get, how can I predict my cumulative GPA after this semester?
Thanks,
Calculating Calvin
Dear Calculating:
The GPA calculation can be a little daunting if you don’t know what you are looking at. Your cumulative GPA is determined by dividing your total quality points by your index credits. Quality points are the weight of each grade (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc.) multiplied the number of credits a course was worth. So, for example, if you got a C in a 3 credit course, the weight of the C, 2.0, times the 3 credits gives you 6 quality points. This is done for each class you’ve taken, all the quality points are totaled, and this total is divided by your index credits to arrive at your cumulative GPA.
Always,
Advisor Alex
Dear Advisor Alex:
A friend of mine just told me about a scholarship she is receiving that is helping her pay her tuition. How do I find out about scholarships that I might qualify for?
Sincerely,
Needy Ned
Dear Needy:
Great question. There are a ton of scholarships and grants out there from a huge variety of sources that are available to all kinds of students, and chances are there is one for you. The trick is finding them! Start by looking over the Student Services website for grants and scholarships, which has information on what funds are available and how to apply: http://studentservices.hunter.cuny.edu/grants.htm. You can download the Hunter College Grants Guide from that site, or come to Student Services in 1119E for a printed copy. The weekly E-bulletin from Student Services also includes a list of available scholarships and fellowships with approaching application deadlines: http://studentservices.hunter.cuny.edu/events.htm.
Good luck!
Always,
Advisor Alex
