PROVIDA SUPPORT COMMUNITY

Dear Prospective Students:

It is my honor to inform you that you have been accepted to New Body University. We are delighted to find so many qualified applicants. As a student at NBU, you will find fine living accommodations, experienced advisors, and friends from around the world. But more importantly you’ll be receiving a first rate education. Regardless of your degree track (6WBMO or SMART), you’ll learn all you need to know to make this life style change a permanent one.

We have high academic standards and we expect all our students to attend class (post often), participate in classroom projects and assignments (challenges), and most importantly maintain excellent grade point averages (earn your credits). We also require that our staff attend continuing education classes (stay on plan too) to ensure that we always have the best and the brightest. Each student should have their textbooks (6WBMO black book or SMART workbook) and study it regularly. We want all our students to do their best and set a goal to be listed on the Honor Roll each week.

Your Resident Advisor, wheresthecoffee, will be here shortly. RUSH week begins  March 16th and you will begin earning your credits on that day. On behalf of the faculty and staff of NBU, I welcome you. Please note that an official copy of the Student Handbook is below. 

Student Handbook

As a new student at New Body University, there are a number of rules and guidelines of which you need to be very familiar.

1. Everyone following the 6WBMO, SMART plan, or who is Living Lean is accepted for admission into this University game. If you have any medical modifications (doctor suggested changes to either the food or exercise portion) please report them to your RA via PM.

2. This semester’s schedule begins with enrollment starting March 7 followed by Move In starting March 11th. Students begin to earn credits during RUSH Week which kicks off on March 16th. We will accept late enrollments until March 16th or until all the dorms are full. At that point, prospective students are encouraged to attend New Body Community College (and participate in campus activities for no credit) until the next semester begins. NBCC enrollments will go through the end of Week 4 (April 12th). Credits will be earned through April 26th and Final credits are to be reported by students ON April 27th.

3. Dorm assignments are made on a RANDOM basis.

4. You will be earning academic credits for following the 6WBMO or SMART plan guidelines (food—7, water—7, accelerated fat loss—5, and body sculpting—2). You will report your credits each week (Sunday through Saturday) by Midnight Central time Monday evenings. Each student should have their textbooks (6WBMO black book or SMART workbook) and study it regularly. We want all our students to do their best and set a goal to be listed on the Honor Roll each week. Those students who earn 100% of possible individual credits (21) each week will be listed on the Provost’s List. Those students who earn 90% (19-20) of individual credits each week will be listed on the Dean’s List. Those students who earn 80% (17-18) of individual credits each week will be listed on the Honorable Mention List. All students who are on the honor roll will add the appropriate icon to their signature. Students who fail to achieve a minimum of 60% (13) of possible individual credits in a week will be sent to Study Hall. Students in Study Hall will be assigned a tutor (someone who has had some success to buddy with) during their study hall period. If they are able to bring their grades back up the following week they will no longer be required to attend Study Hall. If a student is in Study Hall for two consecutive weeks, additional support will be offered.

5. You’ll also be tracking your inch losses as described in your plan. You will report this information with beginning stats, with week 3 stats, and with final stats. Your Resident Advisor will have more information for your regarding this.

6. There will be one thread for each dorm. You are allowed to visit all threads, but attend class (post) only in your own dorm’s thread. You may post all the motivation, encouragement, support, etc. Anything you would like to post that is from any other thread should be done so with full credit to the author via quotes, etc.

7. You are allowed to have excused absences from class but you need to clear it with your Resident Advisor prior to the absence. Your Resident Advisor will go over the details with you in your dorm.

8. If you skip more than 3 classes in a row, you will be considered truant and withdrawn from class. You may apply for reinstatement by contacting the Provost via PM.

9. In an effort to ensure that all recipes posted are on-plan and that we are providing our students with only the best advice and information we are no longer going to allow students to post recipes in the dorms that have not yet been approved by Provida. Having your recipe approved is a simple process. You can submit it via email it directly to recipes@provida.com. This should be done only by the person who created or discovered the recipe and not forwarded by a dorm chef, RA, or anyone else. Once you’ve had your recipe approved, then you’re welcome to share it with your dorm mates, etc. As always, students are allowed to post recipes they discover in the Recipe Exchange (or post the link to the recipe) but those found in the Makeover America Cookbook are not to be shared online. If you are sharing a recipe from an outside source, please include that source so that proper credit can be given. Even if you have made some minor tweaks to the original recipe, we still need to cite the source. We hope these guidelines will help you and your fellow students get the most from this experience.

NBU Spring 2009 Contract
an In-Dorm Icon Assignment

NBU is about commitment.

So is weight loss!

If you put something in writing

you are more likely to reach that accomplishment.

If you read what you wrote each day,

it is more likely you will achieve it. 

If you read it aloud each day, it's even more likely.

When you write out your contract below
you have the option of adding in your goal for this semester.

When you read your contract each morning,

you will automatically read your goal as well!

It's good to keep that goal front and center.

Are you ready to earn your first icon of the new semester?

For those of you who complete the NBU Contract
before the end of Week One, you will receive the following
icon for your signature.

 



Please print the following post and place it on the fridge or closet door or somewhere where you can see it each day. Possibly even on the mirror in the bathroom or by the computer. It will serve as a reminder of the commitment you have made to NBU (and to yourself!) for the next six weeks.

NBU works best
when everyone gives to the group and takes what they need.
So do it, make that commitment to jump in feet first!
The more you give to your dormmates
the more you will receive in the end.
You may also find that the more you help your dormmates,
the more you will LOSE
