The add\/drop deadline for 16-week classes has moved to the eighth day of the semester, beginning this fall. Sept. 9 is the last day for students to add a class without filing a petition and paying a $25 late add fee or drop a class without it appearing as a \u201cW\u201d on students’ transcripts.<\/p>\n
Previously, the add deadline was two weeks into the semester with the drop deadline four weeks into the semester. President\u00a0John Haeger<\/strong>\u00a0approved the change this summer as requested by the Policy Audit Committee.<\/p>\n University registrar\u00a0Pamela Anastassiou<\/strong>\u00a0said bringing the deadlines together will allow students to fill spaces in available courses, and faculty members are a key partner in communicating the change to students.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is important that faculty members update calendar information in their syllabi and on their web pages,\u201d Anastassiou said.<\/p>\n The office of the registrar calendar is available\u00a0online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
