Bryn Mawr – Optional?
In the past, the Beijing Center has created transcripts for students with special circumstances which were then stamped with the official university seal by BUU.
Honors designation at the end

Honors designation later
to NETHANEEL, BlairWe can update honors later and award the degrees now.Does it matter if these two Capstone students’ grades don’t come until August instead of July?
Based on the grad conversion metric, would it even affect their transcript?

Hello Nate,
We are processing grades for Meredith and Madeleine. We are missing some required documents/assignments from these students.
We can wait for these assignments, but would mean that their grades would be processed later in July. I am wondering if it would be fine if these two transcripts arrive in August rather than in July? Or, are they graduating soon and need the transcripts soon?
If the students are able to get their requirements completed in, their grades can go up. (B+ to A-) (B- to B)
Two Processing Dates
Five students have submitted transcript requests from Bryn Mawr for the internship component. We are looking into ###’ transcripts.Below is the most up to chart we have for Nanjing internship end dates. These dates may shift though in the student decides to continue a few more days at their internships. The dates in yellow are tentative end dates.
Since we have over 40+ participants with varying end dates (for example, 5/31 and 7/15), we separate the transcript process into two. Students who complete by June 15 will have their grades processed and sent to their home institution by mid-July (one months’ time). About half of the Nanjing students conclude their internships by June 15. Those after mid-June, will be processed later in the summer and will arrive at the home institution at the earliest mid-August. If there is a particular need, such as a student is graduating very soon, we can try to expedite the transcript request. One is slated to conclude her internship on June 21, so that would mean she wouldn’t receive her transcript until earliest mid-August.
Taiwan Bedding
The service is available even if you arrive very late at night, and Taiwan Center staff will be available to help you. The bedding shop is in Building A of the Shui-yuan dormitories.
Please make sure you bring enough cash for this expense. I did a quick calculation, and if you were to buy the tatami mattress (NT$1,040), the cool quilt (NT$530), as it will still be hot there in September, the single sheet & pillow case (NT$450), and a pillow (NT$380), this comes to approximately US$77 at today’s exchange rate.
If after a week or two of sleeping on a traditional Taiwanese mattress you are not comfortable, you can choose to spend more money for a mattress at IKEA or Muji.
