Students are required to attend 10 chapel or convo events each semester. The chapel/convo committee programs 18-20 events total so that students have some choice in what they attend. Students must bring their Goshen College ID with them to convocations and chapels to get credit for attendance. This is a Core graduation requirement at Goshen College.
Exemptions may be requested for the following reasons: You are a parent of dependent children, a fifth-year senior, a commuter who does not have Wednesday classes before noon, or you must complete internship hours during convo time. To request an exemption, complete this Convo Chapel Exemption Request Form and return it to the registrar’s office, registrar@goshen.edu.
Attendance Record
You can log in to GCOnline to check your attendance. If you believe this number is in error, contact the registrar’s office (registrar@goshen.edu).
If you have a deficit from previous terms, you can erase it by attending more than the required number of events in future terms. If your deficit is too large to overcome in this way, please contact the registrar (registrar@goshen.edu) to discuss your options.
