IMPORTANT ACADEMIC DATE CHANGES

Withdrawal Deadline Extended to April 24

The university has extended the deadline to withdraw from a course to April 24. This is to provide flexibility and time for students who find completing a course difficult in their new circumstances or who are struggling with the transition to remote instruction. If you are interested in withdrawing from a course, we strongly encourage you to consult with your academic advisor and a financial aid counselor before finalizing any decisions. Course withdrawal may adversely impact progress toward degree completion and impact financial aid status. If you withdraw from a course, you will not receive a refund.

Pass/No Pass Policy Changed for Spring 2020

The deadline has been extended to allow undergraduates the opportunity to change their grade in one or more specific courses to pass/no pass. The deadline to change a course to the pass/no pass grading basis or to change a course back to a letter grade has been moved to Friday, May 29. It is recommended that you wait until after the Spring 2020 semester ends and final grades have been posted to change a course to the pass/no pass grading basis. Courses taken on the pass/no pass basis during the Spring 2020 semester will be allowed to count for any major, minor, or degree requirement, and courses not normally allow to be taken for a pass/no pass grade will be allowed. Any Spring 2020 course taken on the pass/no pass grading basis will also not be counted against any limitations on pass/no pass courses. Undergraduate students must consult with their assigned academic advisor to have grading basis changed for any course.
