👣 Hey there, Southern family!

It’s your pal BestFoot, Southern’s favorite Sasquatch mascot, back with another campus update—and wow, this fall is flying by! 🍂 The leaves are changing, the air’s getting crisp, and I’m feeling all the spooky-season vibes.

Now, let’s talk October, because this month is packed with excitement! 🎃

🕸️ Trunk or Treat — Coming Soon!

It’s almost time for one of my favorite events of the year — Trunk or Treat!
Grab your costumes, your candy, and your creativity! Whether you’re decorating a spooky table, dressing up as your favorite character, or just coming for the treats, this event is all about fun, family, and community.

⏰ Seven-Week Classes Begin Today!

If you’ve signed up for seven-week classes, get ready—they start today!
Be sure to log into Blackboard, check your schedule, and confirm that your financial aid is all set. If you have any questions or need a little guidance, your advisors and instructors are here to help you start strong and finish even stronger. Let’s make this next half of the semester amazing! 🚀

🗓️ Important Academic Dates

Before you get too wrapped up in pumpkin spice and Halloween plans, don’t forget these key academic dates:

• 📘 Last day to withdraw with a grade of “W” from 15-week classes: November 6, 2025
• 📗 Last day to withdraw with a grade of “W” from second-half (7-week) term classes: November 20, 2025

If you’re thinking about dropping a class, talk to your advisor first—they can help you understand how it may affect your academic progress or financial aid.

📅 Spring Registration is Right Around the Corner!
