Tippie
Senate – TCOB Update

Wondering
what new changes are coming for TCOB?  Tippie Senate had the opportunity
to sit down with Jim Chaffee, Chief Technology Officer for the College of
Business to find out.  Some immediate
changes include remodeling the 2nd floor lounge with booths like on the 3^rd
floor and seating with power available in it. New chairs in some of the study
rooms will also create a more comfortable studying atmosphere.  Potential future changes include having
student bulletin boards being LCD screens to allow for more up to date and
dynamic content. Also, we are looking into moving the "quick
stations" located outside the ITC to various locations within TCOB,
allowing for easier access to students who just need to come in and use the
computer quickly.   For any other
questions about Technology or the TCOB facility in general, feel free to
contact Tippie Senate or email Jim Chaffee at james-chaffee@uiowa.edu.

a Second-Grade-Only (SGO) Option ONLINE

As of Fall, 2012,
Tippie students can request that the Tippie College of Business file a SGO on a
course they are repeating for a better grade using the form at: tippie.uiowa.edu/undergraduate/advising/second-grade-option-form.cfm.
College policies for the use of SGO can be found at tippie.uiowa.edu/undergraduate/advising/second-grade-option.cfm.
Prebusiness students, even those advised through the Undergraduate Program
Office, must request SGOs through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (clas.uiowa.edu/students/handbook/grading-system#second-grade).
