Enrichment Credits

Chapels, Vespers, and Convocations are all integral co-curricular parts of attending Southern and are required for all undergraduate students taking 6 hours or more. As such, reductions are rare and for exceptional situations. Please note that reductions are for the overall total, not specific to only cultural credits. 

The following circumstances are situations that might necessitate reductions.

REDUCTIONS:

1)     If you are a commuter student that has no classes and no other work/lab/on-campus commitments on Thursdays

2)     Attending nursing clinicals during the Convocation hour

3)     Working as a nurse whose shift is scheduled during the Convocation hour

4)     Working an on-campus job that cannot close during Convocation or Vespers (examples of such jobs are Food Services student personnel and a number of desk jobs that must remain open 24 hours a day)

If one or more applies to your situation, click here to apply for a reduction. Please note, petitioning is not a guarantee of approval.
