Colloquium Policy

English majors must attend at least eight English Department colloquia during their academic careers.  The Department will offer an average of three colloquia every semester and may occasionally designate a non-departmental colloquium as qualifying for this requirement.

Attendance will be taken at all English Department colloquia, and attendance records will be kept in the English Department office.  It is the student’s responsibility to sign in at each event he or she attends, and to keep track of his/her progress towards fulfilling this requirement. Information on colloquium attendance can be accessed in the English Department office.
