The Convocation Series is a vital component of Berea’s General Education Program. Through the Convocation Series, notable speakers, scholars, performers, and authorities on a variety of subjects, both historic and contemporary, address and enrich the campus community. Convocation topics often are related to substance that students are considering in their classes.
All students automatically will be enrolled in a one-quarter-credit Convocation course (CNV 100) during each of their regular terms of enrollment, with the exception of the final term of enrollment, for a maximum of eight (8) such terms. For each term of enrollment in CNV 100, the student may earn the grade of CA (which is calculated as an A in the GPA) for attending at least seven (7) Convocations. The grade of CF (which is calculated as an F in the GPA) will be awarded for attendance at fewer than seven (7) Convocations. Enrollment in this course is optional during the final term at Berea (or is prohibited if the student already has enrolled in this course for eight terms). Convocation credits only count in the GPA and not in the total credits earned toward graduation. For more detailed information about the Convocations requirement, see the Student Handbook.
Teacher Education majors who enroll full-time during a regular term following a term of student teaching are required to meet the Convocation requirements in that term.
