The School of Arts and Humanities Meet the Majors--A "Need to Know" Town Hall
On Friday, October 12, the entire Division of Enrollment Management closed its doors for an afternoon in order to come together for a Professional Development session.
The "Need to Know" Town Hall with the School of Arts and Humanities was a smashing success. The presenters were dynamic, the audience was engaged, and there were so many useful takeaways. One hundred percent of the respondents to a post session survey responded either 'Agree' or 'Strongly Agree' to the following statement: "I have a better understanding of majors offered by the School of Arts and Humanities."
Click here for more photos from the event. These Professional Development opportunities will continue throughout the year. |

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year: eVerification Time!
In order to maintain compliance with the U.S Department of Education regarding the verification of completion of coursework for the almost 75% of our students receiving Federal financial aid, the college has developed a seamless process called eVerification which is a component of the new Lehman 360 platform.
- To address compliance and avoid financial penalties, eVerification will allow faculty to verify their grades online and provide supporting documentation for ‘F’ and Incomplete (INC) grades assigned to students.
- When completing the eVerification process, it is critical that your response be as thorough and complete as possible.
- Non-responses to eVerification may result in financial implications for the college.
- Consult this guide for instructions.
For more information contact lehman.eVerification@lehman.cuny.edu |
