DEADLINE: pass/d/fail declaration OR course withdrawal

Remember that this Thursday, November 17, is the deadline for two actions:

1) The deadline to declare the Pass/D/Fail option for a course is Thursday at 11:00 p.m., through eBear. You do not need your adviser's approval to use the P/D/F option, but it would be a good idea to discuss the matter with your adviser to ensure that you have thought through the decision. Visit the Registrar's website to be sure that you understand the rules governing the Pass/D/Fail option and to find the instructions for utilizing the option.

2) Also, the deadline to withdraw from a course is this Thursday at 4:30 p.m. You do need your adviser's approval in order to withdraw from a course. To withdraw from a course, pick up a withdrawal form from the Registrar's office (107 Milbank), complete the form, have your adviser sign the form, then submit it to the Registrar's office. The course will remain on your transcript with a "W," indicating that you officially withdrew from the course midway through the semester. Remember that all students are expected to carry at least 12 points of credit per semester; if you have extenuating circumstances and need to drop below 12 points of credit by withdrawing from a course, you must see the First-Year Class Dean for special permission.
