Class Assignment Policy

The Career Design team of the Kuhlin Career Hub is eager to collaborate with faculty to develop effective class assignments that support the career readiness of BGSU students.

For faculty interested in collaborating on a class assignment, please complete the Class Assignment Submission Form to submit your proposal. Once received, a Career Design Coach will contact you to schedule a consultation appointment. To facilitate collaboration, the Career Design Coach team recommends that your proposal is received at least 4-6 weeks (about 1 and a half months) before the start of the semester.

For the following two most common class assignments, faculty will need to utilize VMock.
VMock is a free resource, and students can create their account by accessing the platform within the Kuhlin Career Hub section of MyBGSU. Faculty are encouraged to create a VMock account to explore and learn the system.

Learn more information, helpful guides, and tips on how to use the platform here.
