Are you struggling to make deadlines, manage your time, and generally get things done? The Peer Academic Coaches are here for you! Your peer coach will offer guidance in navigating college and learn all the ways of "doing school" that aren't taught in the classroom. They will help you identify barriers to growth and how you can eliminate them, offer guidance in navigating Barnard and its resources, and strengthen academic skills so that you can reach your goals. There are limited spots for this resource, so get matched with a coach today! For more information, contact your Dean or Allie Johnston, Program coordinator for academic coaching (ajohnsto@barnard.edu).

Particularly with all that is going on in the world and on campus these days, we know that you don't stop having feelings just because you're busy with schoolwork, and we want to remind you of the many resources on campus where you can find peers, professionals, and space to get some support. Below are just a few examples:
Barnard College is committed to providing an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. The Nondiscrimination and Title IX Office endeavors to work collaboratively across campus to further the goal that faculty, staff, and students be able to work and study in a campus community free from discrimination and harassment. As such, the Office provides outreach, education, supportive consultation, and response services to all members of the Barnard community. Dr. Elizabeth Scott-Francis, Executive Director for CARES Outreach and Response, serves as the Title IX Coordinator for the College.

As a Barnard Sophomore, Junior or Senior, you are invited to participate in an assessment study focused on the Foundations Curriculum. The goal of this study is to gather feedback on the curriculum to better understand students’ experience navigating these Foundations requirements, including students’ perspectives on if and how the curriculum shaped their thinking, values, and/or skills. This assessment study is part of a larger effort at the College to review the Foundations Curriculum and articulate recommendations for future students. Your feedback is vital for informing the Foundations Curriculum at Barnard for the next generation of students.

The deadline to withdraw from a fall 2023 class is Nov 16. Withdrawn classes will not affect your GPA and you will not earn credit for them, but they will remain on your transcript, and a W will be entered place of the final grade.
Note: You may not withdraw from a class if doing so would leave you with fewer than 12 credits.
To withdraw from a class, use this online form , following these steps:
1. Consult with your adviser.
2. Get an email from your adviser confirming they approve you to withdraw from this specific class.
3. Download that email as a PDF or save a screenshot of it.
4. Complete and submit the online W form on or before the W deadline, uploading your adviser’s confirmation email when prompted to do so.
5. You will receive an email confirmation once your W request is processed, ordinarily within two business days.
Note that the W will not appear on your record until the end of the semester when final grades are entered.
If you are considering electing the p/d/f option for a fall 2023 course, you may do so until November 16, 2023, the deadline to elect the P/D/F option. (this is also the W deadline)
you can read all about p/d/f on the Registrar's website but especially note the new policy on the number of courses that may be taken p/d/f in a given semester:
**NEW** Beginning fall 2023, Barnard students can elect P/D/F grading in one course per term. This is in addition to any courses with mandatory pass/fail grading. A class in which the P grade is uncovered is still counted towards the one course per term P/D/F limit.
Grading
The instructor is not informed when a student elects the P/D/F grading option. The instructor will assign a letter grade in SSOL, which will be converted to P/D/F on your transcript.
A letter grade of A+ through C- will appear on the transcript as a P, and will not count in the GPA.
A letter grade of D will appear on the transcript as a D, and will count in the GPA.
A letter grade of F will appear on the transcript as an F, and will count in the GPA.
To elect the P/D/F Grading option:
**NEW** process as of fall 2023:
Barnard students will use SSOL to elect P/D/F grading
-Click here to elect a Fall 2023 course for P/D/F grading. (Use a browser other than Safari).
-Click on P/D/F grading then Grading Option Change Request.
This form can be used to elect Pass/D/Fail for a course where that option is not available in SSOL.
To undo/ revoke your p/d/f election - or switch the election to a different class (this must be done prior to the P/D/F grading deadline):
-Go to ssol.columbia.edu and go to Pass/D/Fail Uncover.
Pro Tip:
-If you drop or officially withdraw from a class that you had previously p/d/f'd, you should also revoke the p/d/f so that it won't count towards your p/d/f limit.
