Help for Students and Families Suffering Major Losses Due to COVID-19
 
Geneva empathizes with all of our community members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, whether the impact is physical, emotional or financial. One way we hope to help families who have suffered major financial losses is the Geneva College COVID-19 Major Loss Grant, a one-time, one-year award. Dr. Calvin L. Troup shares more information about this in his email to students.
 

 
 
 
 
Academic Appeals
 
If your student is placed on academic probation, suspension or dismissal, an appeal may be submitted to the Provost, Dr. Melinda Stephens, at mstephen@geneva.edu on or before June 3, 2020.
 

 
 
 
 
Graduates Can Get Regalia Now!
 
We’re looking forward to welcoming back our graduates to campus for Commencement 2020 – and graduates can order regalia now!

Geneva College is paying for shipping of regalia to our traditional undergraduate students, who would normally have been on campus to pick up their commencement regalia. Regalia can be ordered through the Campus Store website. While shipping will appear to be added on to your bill when you place the order, you will only be charged for the regalia itself; Geneva will be billed directly for all shipping costs.

Online Education vs. Remote Learning
 
There has been a lot of talk about online education during this crisis. Are you familiar with remote learning? It is something different, and students at Geneva experienced some of both types this spring. This post from Geneva’s blog differentiates these two types of Internet-enabled learning.
