Hello everyone! it's been a minute since I've been able to post any new content. It's nice to be back! Today I was finally able to register online for my spring 2016 semester. If you didn't know, even though you will be studying abroad and not physically at the UH campus, you still need to register so you can maintain the status of a full time student. Each MIX partner University has a unique CRN code that you will need to input in your MyUH Portal. You will be receiving this code from the MIX office before your registration date. You should be familiar with the usual UH registration process by now, which includes inputting the institution you are registering though and the CRN numbers of the classes you're registering for. The only difference this time is that the MIX course is a "Variable Credit", which defaults to 1 credit, so you will need to manually increase the amount to 12 credits. This is according to a Credit/No Credit grading scale rather than Standard Letter A-F. Below is an example of what this would look like. Just input the credit amount in the box available. I am a little behind in my Writing Intensive requirements, so I need to take a couple of WI's online while I am studying abroad. I decided to take LTEC 448, which is called "Links to Lifelong Learning (Social Media)". Hopefully this class isn't too difficult! I planned out my schedule to take an upper division (300+) WI for the spring and a lower level one for the summer (through one of the community colleges). I think that the other WI will just be a creative writing class. I don't want to take on more than I can handle while studying abroad. If you are planning to take online classes, you should really think it through because you don't want to be stressing out! This is how my Spring 2016 schedule looks through MyUH Portal. It's a total of 15 credit hours. Please don't just copy the CRN codes from what you see in the image. You should be receiving that info directly from MIX. The codes could differ from semester to semester. If you are interested in the online class that I am taking, feel free to ask me about my experiences as the semester goes on! :)

9/30/2015 MIX Nomination!!!Yesterday (September 29, 2015) I received my nomination from the MIX office!
Keio!!! Keio!!! I got Keio!!! I am soo so happy to have been nominated for my first choice university in Tokyo! Clicking the link that was provided in the email from MIX sent me to Keio University's Application instructions. There I found the list of documents I would need to provide for my application. As I read through the instructions, I found that I needed to turn in all of the documents by....NEXT WEEK?!?!??!?!?!?! 2016 Spring Admission Application Deadline: October 5, 2015. That's next Tuesday.......... Below is a list of application documents for KIP (Keio International Program):
I wasn't anticipating that I would have such little time to get my documents in. Luckily, MIX requested a deadline extension for us because it was simply not feasible. I was told to try and get everything in ASAP. If I could recommend one thing, don't wait until you receive your nomination to start asking professors about writing you a letter of recommendation. Start early! |
