Instructions for Applying for Admission into Online Courses at the Saint Xavier University

I recently got accepted into the online graduate program at Saint Xavier University. So far, I find the program convenient not only because it allows me to learn at my own pace, but also because it presents better opportunities to balance between work and school. I think the program could be a viable option for my colleagues who wish to further their studies. This memo provides instructions on the application process for any interested parties.

Please follow the step-by-step instructions below to set up a user account on the university portal.

Click the 'Admissions' tab on the university website

On the pop-up menu, select 'New student Registration'

A summary screen appears requiring you to fill in your personal information, including your full names, email address, telephone number and date of birth. Fill these, and click the 'Submit' tab

Result: You will immediately receive a text message notifying you that your account has been successfully created on the online student portal; and that your username and password have been sent to the email you provided

4. Log in to your email and follow the link provided. It will lead you to the log in page on the student portal

5. Log in to your account using the username and password you received earlier

6. Once in your account, you will be required to change the password, which is set to default as the student's 8-digit birth date. Enter an 8-digit number of your choice (preferably one that you can easily remember)

Result: the online application form appears

Question Two

Date: April 2, 2015

To: Members of the School Swimming Team

From: XXX (Team Coach)

Subject: Instructions on how to do an effective side-to-side warm-up before workout

Warming up is an important part of work-out exercises. The risk of injury is reduced significantly if warm-ups are done effectively because the muscles become more efficient and the body better prepared to perform major training exercises (Hoffman, 2002). I noticed at training the other day that most members of the team are not able to do an effective warm-up exercise. This memo summarizes the steps for executing a good side-by-side.

Follow this step-by-step process to execute a good side-by-side move

1. Separate your legs

2. Place your hands over your head with palms facing up and fingers pointed inwards

3. Look up

Result: you are standing looking up, slightly leaned back with the chest open

4. Take a deep breath

5. Slowly twist to the left until the shoulders are completely turned in that direction

6. Bend slowly on your side towards the floor as you exhale (be sure to make your stretch as comfortable as possible to prepare the muscles)

7. Come up slowly, inhaling

8. Repeat the process, this time taking a turn to the right

One right stretch and one left stretch amount to one repetition. A complete side-by-side exercise consists of eight properly-executed repetitions.

If you are having problems performing a good side-by-side, feel free to contact the coach or any other member of the team that you deem helpful

Question 3

Date: April 2, 2015

To: those attending the office picnic on Saturday

From: XXX (the host)

Subject: directions

As you all know, we are holding the annual office picnic at my place this year. I live at 8300 North Vermont Avenue, just a few kilometers from the Bakersland Rugby pitch. This memo gives the specific directions from the gas station at the Bakersland bus terminus.
