Attendance Reminder - If you do not log attendance in ANY class in your schedule by the end of the twelfth (12) day of the term, you will be administratively withdrawn. 

Your official attendance record will update only when you submit coursework, such as an assignment, a discussion board post, or quizzes within the Brightspace classroom. Other activities, like reading course materials or attending seminars, will NOT update your attendance record. 

Any individual course in which you do not log attendance by the twenty-first (21) day of the term will be administratively removed from your schedule. This action may have implications for your financial aid and degree progression.

The Student Bar Association (SBA) of Purdue Global Law School is the student government association for all students enrolled at PG Law School.  SBA is a group of students from all years and programs at PG Law School who work together to teach and promote legal topics. SBA Officers are elected by the students to represent them.  You can set up an appointment to meet with an SBA Peer Mentor or drop-in for a live Cranium session. 

All incoming students are registered for a self-paced, noncredit bearing course called PG675.  This is the SBA classroom.  You are not required to be active in the class, but you can find good information there.  In addition, the SBA has a private Facebook page, and they have a fundraiser for students interested in purchasing Professor Bracci's PASS Books.
