YESPLUS Winter 2016

• We have a YESplus course this Winter Quarter! You have two choices and both require you to fill out this application.​

​OPTION 1: YESPLUS FOR CREDIT

• 1-unit course is MED 130 - The Practice of Happiness is available on Axess;  a quarter-long 1x/week class with a  mini-retreat included. 
  
  We meet Thursday evenings 8:00pm - 9:30pm (on Axess it says we start at 7pm, you can ignore that)


• Class dates
  Thursday, Jan 7th; 8pm - 9:30pm
  Thursday, Jan 14th; 8pm - 9:30pm
  Thursday, Jan 21st; 8pm - 9:30pm
  Thursday, Feb 4th; 8pm - 9:30pm
  Thursday, Feb 18th; 8pm - 9:30pm
  Thursday, Feb 25th; 8pm - 9:30pm


• AND
  
  These are the mandatory dates for the mini-retreat:

• • Thursday, Jan 28th; 8pm - 9:30pm
    Friday, Jan 29th;  6:30pm - 10pm
    Saturday, Jan 30th;  12pm - 5pm
    Sunday, Jan 31st;  12 pm - 5pm

• If you cannot take this retreat, you cannot take the course this quarter (unless you are a repeater)

​OPTION 2: YESPLUS 4-DAY WORKSHOP FOR NO-CREDIT

• This is a condensed option - a non-credit course, still held on campus. ​
  • Thursday, Jan 28th; 8pm - 9:30pm
    Friday, Jan 29th;  6:30pm - 10pm
    Saturday, Jan 30th;  12pm - 5pm
    Sunday, Jan 31st;  12 pm - 5pm

​WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO OPTIONS?

• In Option 1: MED 130 you get credit. In the 4-day workshop, you don't. In MED 130, we also focus on you sustaining the techniques you've learned throughout the entire quarter. You also have continued community to support you. We highly recommend MED 130. However, the 4-day workshop might work better for your schedule. It's still a great option! 

​HOW TO APPLY

• As mentioned, in either case,  you need to fill out this application.
