LEARNING SUPPORT Important Dates and Information
Please write down our contact information! Gail Barksdale; Gainesville Campus Dede deLaughter; Oconee, Dahlonega, Cumming Campuses OC-Administration; Room 115 706.310.6207 dede.delaughter@ung.edu • Nesbitt 2116 • 678.717.3765 • gail.barksdale@ung.edu
2 Important Policies • Learning Support (LS) requirements may not be deferred to a future semester; in order to take any college-level credits (1000-level or higher), students must be in the process of satisfying LS requirements. This is a state Board of Regents policy. • If a student withdraws from a LS class, s/he must also withdraw from all college-level courses. The exception is that students in one LS course may remain in UNIV 1101, 1000-level PHED, and/or a performance course, such as band or chorus. This, too, is Board of Regents policy.
Allowed Number of Attempts for Completion of LS Requirements • READ 0099: maximum of 2 • ENGL 0099: maximum of 2 • ACAE 0099: maximum of 2 • MATH 0097: maximum of 2 • MATH 0099: maximum of 3, for those who begin in MATH 0099 • MLCS 0099: maximum of 3 Note: Students who have a LS math requirement are allowed a maximum of 3 semesters in which to completely satisfy the LS math requirement. Students must be in the 0099-level course by the third attempt.
What does it mean to withdraw from a course? • When students withdraw from a Learning Support (LS) course by the midpoint of the semester, that semester’s attempt in LS doesn’t count toward the total allowed attempts. • “Attempt” is defined as any semester in which a student receives any grade other than W. (i.e., A, B, C, IP, F, or WF) • While there are no academic penalties for withdrawing from a class prior to the midpoint, there may be financial aid consequences. • Remember, too, that faculty may have students administratively withdrawn at any point in the semester for excessive absences. This results in a WF if initiated after the midpoint, which may result in WFs in college-level courses.
Important Dates this Semester • Midpoint (last day to withdraw from a full-session course without academic penalty): Monday, March 3, 2014 • Advising Weeks begin March 3. You must meet with your advisor to be permitted to register for Summer and/or Fall classes. • Summer and Fall registration begins March 31.
