All SSM students will attend required chapels as designated on the online chapel schedule (e.g. President,
Chancellor, President Emeritus). These required chapels are included as part of the 15 chapels per semester. SSM
students who are unable to attend chapels in person may fulfill their chapel responsibility by listening to the digital
version posted on CIU Online.
Students register for chapel courses (CHL 5001, 5002, 5003) at the beginning of the appropriate number of Fall
and Spring semesters. At the end of each semester, they indicate whether or not they have met the attendance
requirement for the semester on the online course site.
