MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIC SENATE, SAN DIEGO DIVISION

SUBJECT:    Reminder - Fall Quarter 2018 Withdrawal Deadline for
                     Undergraduate Students

Dear Colleagues,

At its June 6, 2017 meeting, the Representative Assembly approved a
proposal from the Educational Policy Committee to amend San Diego Senate
Regulations 500 and 501. This amendment moves the withdrawal deadline
for undergraduate students from the end of week nine to the end of week
six, starting in Fall Quarter 2018. The approved change will stabilize
enrollment earlier in the quarter, while providing undergraduate
students with sufficient time to determine whether to remain in the
course. Instructors are reminded to start planning so they are able to
give students feedback on how they are doing in their class by the sixth
week of the quarter.

The end of the fourth week will remain unchanged as the deadline to drop
a course or withdraw from the University without the course appearing on
the transcript. The changes do not impact the withdrawal deadlines for
graduate students.

The Regulations are available at:
