Hello undergrads,

Over the past few semesters, the Committee on the Undergraduate Program
(CUP) has been creating and discussing a set of recommendations to
change *first-year
academic policies* about credit limits, discovery units, and early
sophomore standing. A full summary of these recommendations, as well as
additional details, can be found in this document
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/19idz5B2goGBq0_mBdZPRHX46JSKt_cDlgnTXcPt3Z8s/edit?usp=sharing>
.

As student representatives on the CUP, we will be holding an undergraduate
forum to answer questions and seek feedback on the recommendations. We
invite all undergraduates to attend and voice their thoughts on the
recommended changes. The forum details are as follows:


   - Date: Monday, March 15
   - Time: 6 to 7:30pm
   - Location (you will need to be logged in to your MIT Zoom account):
   https://mit.zoom.us/j/97415456566?pwd=MXZjdkRUUU9Ualh2aHVyaGtqOHFzZz09


We also welcome feedback through this form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGdQKAx-216YzkB_APieC1kNcrEeTOHing-WDPnTzUKU_4vw/viewform>,
regardless of whether you are able to attend the forum. For other questions
or comments beyond the scope of the forum or form, we can be reached at
cup-student-reps at mit.edu.

Sincerely,
Paolo, Shardul, Rona, and Leslie
