Chapel programs are planned to provide the students, faculty, staff, and administration with a period devoted to spiritual and cultural development. Distinguished visitors, speakers, musicians, and other outstanding individuals are invited for these programs, which convene from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. every Thursday and on the first Tuesday of every month in Pillsbury Chapel. The second and third Tuesday of the month are usually available for class meetings and organization meetings. See the printed Chapel Schedule, available at the beginning of each semester, for the exact dates.

The chapel convocation is considered to be an integral part of the
student’s overall educational experience. The following requirements
and provisions reflect this attitude:
- A student enrolled for nine credit hours or more on Main campus is expected to attend all chapel and convocation programs. Those enrolled for eight hours or less may attend, if they choose, and are encouraged to do so whenever possible.
- A student attending 80% or more of the programs is awarded one additional quality point for the semester.
- Those attending 60-79% of the programs are considered to be following the minimum acceptable attendance pattern, and there is no change in quality point status.
- One quality point is removed from the record of a student who attends less than 60% of the programs.
