Colloquy Speaker Series

The bi-weekly PUC Colloquy Speaker Series takes place on alternating Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. in the church sanctuary. The Colloquy Speaker Series is designed to be a time when the entire campus community comes together. The idea is to explore together from a Christian perspective new horizons in art, music, intellect, religion, spirituality, service opportunities, cultures, and even our own community here at PUC. We hope to learn, to celebrate, to exchange new ideas, and to worship together.

Campus Colloquy Syllabus
Syllabus for Campus Colloquy GRNL 100.

Academic Credit for the Colloquy Speaker Series

All students registered for seven or more credits are automatically registered for the course GNRL 100, worth 0.1 units each quarter. Attending at least five out of six programs each quarter earns a grade of S; failure to attend five programs results in an F grade. These grades appear on the college transcript and are counted in the GPA. Card swipers will swipe your card as you enter and as you exit. Colloquy Speaker Series attendance records are posted on Lantern. These records may be viewed at http://lantern.puc.edu.

Attendance Credit for Colloquy Speaker Series

Colloquy Speaker Series attendance as a GNRL 100 requirement is separate from the Religious and Community Service Attendance (a.k.a. "worship credits"). However, once you have attended your required five colloquies, two Religious and Community Service Attendance credits are available for each additional Colloquy Speaker Series program you attend.

Colloquy Speaker Series Attendance/Tardy Policy

Those students who swipe in after 10:05 or do not swipe out following the program (or leave early) will not receive credit for attending that given Colloquy Speaker Series program.

Colloquy Speaker Series Schedule Conflicts

Students only have to attend five Colloquy Speaker Series programs per quarter to receive credit for the course. If a student anticipates unusual persistent schedule conflicts throughout the quarter, attendance waiver request forms are available online and at the office of the Associate Academic Dean. Please note that students requesting an attendance waiver on the basis of a work conflict must submit a letter from their employer indicating the student's Thursday work hours.

The Colloquy Speaker Series Civility Clause

To be "civil" means to refrain from rudeness. To this end, please come on time; put away cell phones, textbooks, laptops, iPods, or whatever might distract you or others from the program at hand. Carrying on extended conversations during the program is distracting to others and disrespectful to the speaker. Please choose to be civil, not rude, during our time together at the Colloquy Speaker Series programs.
