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)

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

Lead

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

History

• 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

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

Academics

Distance education

• 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

• I would add "strict" before "GPA requirements."
  • Done.

Alumni

• 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

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

End of GA Review:

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)

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

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)

@BlueMoonset: Thanks, I would request Carbrera to wait for three days. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 18:23, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

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)

I've made all the corrections. Thanks for the effort, and your patience! --BrianCUA (talk) 19:44, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

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)
