Are you Interested in Becoming An English Major?

This just in from the English Department:

Dear First and Second-Year Students, 

We'd like to invite you to a major party!    Or rather, an "explore the English Major Party" 

-- this coming Wednesday September 25th from 5:30-7:30 in Sulzberger Parlor on the Third floor of Barnard Hall.  

Would you like to learn more about the English Major?   

To learn more about the requirements, and how simple it is to double-major?   

To learn of future career possibilities (we are one of the great preparatory majors for both Law and Medicine).     

To meet the faculty and hear of their interests? 

To engage in a few speculative acts of literary or filmic interpretation?  

If so, come THIS WEDNESDAY from 5:30-7:30 pm in Sulzberger Parlor.    We'll provide pizza and snacks.   Please come!  

Academic Policies Workshop

 

Deadline: Tuesday, October 8 is the last day to drop a Fall 2024 class

Until October 8, you can drop a class from your Fall 2024 schedule.  The class will be completely removed from your record.  (Note that after October 8, and until November 14, you can still withdraw from a class and receive the mark of W.)  You must stay enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits. 

Dropping a class is a two-phase process.  Here is what to do: 

1.  Fill out this Slate form with a request to drop a specific class.  It will go to your adviser for their review 

2.  If the drop is approved, you will receive an email with special instructions on how to drop the class in Student Planning.

My professor said I got into their class off the waitlist, but it's after the registration deadline. I forgot to add my zero-credit discussion section and now Student Planning won't let me! What do I do???

Can't add something you totally have permission to join because it's the week after registration? In many cases you will need to petition the Committee on Programs and Academic Standing (CPAS), but in some more straightforward cases, you can submit the Online Add Form, which will allow you to upload confirmation emails from the instructor and your adviser.

When can I use the Add Form?

• Add a course (after the course registration deadline) for which you are waitlisted
• Add a discussion or recitation section
• Add a lab or zero-point course
• Add a PE or Dance course
• Add a short course that has not yet begun
• Change Sections of a course (eg. section 02 to section 01)
• Change levels (eg. French II to French I) 

In all other cases, consult with your class dean about petitioning
