Hello, I am Carbrera, and I'll be reviewing this article for possible good article submission.

Full review coming very soon. Carbrera (talk) 22:05, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This a very well-worded article! I have just a few concerns that I have listed below:

Lead

[edit]
  • Please put Ref #6 at the end of the sentence as it looks kind of awkward where it is currently placed
    • Done.

History

[edit]
  • You list "early faculty", but many of them are in red links; why should they be listed when they aren't necessarily notable, considering they don't have Wikipedia articles?
    • I removed all the redlinks.
  • Who described the Extension classes as "surprisingly affordable"?
    • It was Fodor's, but I am not sure why this one clause in the whole article was singled out. Even the very next clause is cited by not attributed in text.

Deans

[edit]
  • There are no sources at all for this section
    • Done.

Academics

[edit]

Distance education

[edit]
  • The 'Today' section starts with "As of 2014..."; does this still apply to 2016, the current year? If so, current-ize this section so it is up-to-date
    • I'm not sure, so I changed the heading from "Today" to "Modern"

Academic requirements

[edit]
  • I would add "strict" before "GPA requirements."
    • Done.

Alumni

[edit]
  • The notes in parentheses look out of place to me; there must be some way that you could explain this in the section itself instead of creating footnotes, yes?
    • This screwed with the placement of the references a little, but I think I made it work.

Notable alumni

[edit]
  • The last sentence in this section's third paragraph doesn't make sense to me
    • I broke it up. Hope this clarifies things.

Like I said, a very strong article, but I do have a few concerns. Let me know once you've finished with this, I shall put it on hold for seven days. Thank you. Carbrera (talk) 16:46, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@BrianCUA: You there? Almost a week has passed. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 18:09, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Carbrera, Sainsf, BrianCUA rarely edits on weekends. It would be nice if you could give him at least another day or two to respond. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:20, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@BlueMoonset: Thanks, I would request Carbrera to wait for three days. Sainsf <^>Feel at home 18:23, 24 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry. I have been away. Give me another day or two and I will finish this up. thanks. --BrianCUA (talk) 03:13, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've made all the corrections. Thanks for the effort, and your patience! --BrianCUA (talk) 19:44, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So sorry, I have not noticed this message until now. I have read through the article again and will now pass it. Please do not apologize for your absence, as I can now say I have done the same. It was a pleasure to work with you. Cheers! Carbrera (talk) 01:39, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
