Rowan Writing Arts Events Update- Special Edition Week of April 2, 2018

Late Withdrawal Period Deadline Is This Coming Monday, April 9
 
We’re at the three-quarter pole of the semester, which means the Late Withdrawal deadline is upon us. Students who want to – or need to – withdraw from your classes have until 4:30 p.m. EDT this coming Monday, April 9, to submit the proper documentation with the Registrar’s Office. For a Late Withdrawal to be processed, the form must be completed and signed by the student and signed both by you and our Department Chair Jenn Courtney. Click here for a copy of the form. After Monday, we enter the Hardship Withdrawal Period during which all of the above requirements must be met in addition to a hardship letter from the student and the approval of our Dean Sandy Tweedie. The Hardship Withdrawal process requires students to meet one or more of the hardship categories listed on the separate Hardship Withdrawal Form along with appropriate supporting documentation. Please click here for more details, and for access to the special hardship withdrawal information. The email sent earlier this afternoon by Amy Woodworth has additional information on this process as well as details on the university’s new policy on grades of incomplete.
