This summer, the University of Arizona changed the timeline and process from dropping/withdrawing from a class. PLEASE read the information below!

If you want to still add a class on UACCESS, you have until Tuesday, September 2! After that, you will need the instructor’s signature on the Change of Schedule form to ADD.

IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR DROPPING OR WITHDRAWING
Changes to the university’s dropping and withdrawing policies for undergraduate students were approved at the May 5th Faculty Senate meeting and become effective in Fall 2014. There are four main changes:
1. Adjusted Deadlines
2. New 18 Unit Cap on W Grades
3. Complete Withdrawal Changes
4. Late Drop Fee Timeframe

1. Adjusted Deadlines

Below are the basics for a fall or spring 16 week semester. Shorter sessions will follow the same proportional deadlines. See the Dates and Deadlines Calendar for specific dates. I want to:
New Policy
Drop a class without receiving a grade Week 1 – 2
(or prior to the start of the term)
Impacts:
· You have two weeks to make a decision about dropping a class if you don’t want a W grade.

Drop a single class after the drop deadline and receive a W grade Week 3 – 10
Impacts:
· You have two additional weeks (past the previous deadline) to drop with a W grade.
· You can drop in UAccess. No paper form needed.
· No instructor permissionrequired.
· Only W grades will be awarded. E grades are no longer an option.
· $25 late drop fee per class.

2. New 18 Unit Cap on W Grades
There is now an 18 unit cap on the number of units for which a student may receive a W grade. Your previous W grades will not be counted. Only W grades earned in Fall 2014 or later will be counted.
If you ever meet or exceed 18 units of W coursework, you will not be allowed to drop with a W grade in any future classes. You will need to accept the grade earned in the class.

3. Complete Withdrawal Changes
The process remains the same. You submit the Complete Withdrawal form, online. You may still drop (with a W grade) your classes in UAccess through the 10th week, however UAccess will prevent you from dropping all of your classes and will direct you to the online Complete Withdrawal form to finish the process.
All complete withdrawal grades will be noted on the transcript as WC grades. WP and WF grades will not be used.

4. Late Drop Fee Timeframe
The per class $25 late drop fee will be in effect starting week 2 through week 10.

GRADE REPLACEMENT OPPORTUNITY
A GRO tab has been added to UAccess for undergraduate students only. Students who wish to file for a GRO will submit a GRO request during GRO filing period for each eligible course.  For more information, please refer to the website below.

Recognition: Wildlife Disease Association Members Receive Grant
------------------------------------------------------------
This past summer, 3 members of the Student Chapter of the Wildlife Disease Association at The University of Arizona were able to attend the 63^rd Annual International WDA Conference in New Mexico.

Club President Ana Gonzalez, club Treasurer Renee Fisher, and club Member Brandis Johnson traveled (comfortably in a University of Arizona Motor-pool rented vehicle, thanks to the help of several supportive staff members of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences!) to Albuquerque, NM, from July 27^th to August 1^st to participate in the event as student volunteers. While they helped at the WDA conference throughout the week, they were also able to view the presentations given by veterinarians and wildlife biologists and converse with other WDA members. This conference was a great opportunity for these three aspiring veterinarians to expand their knowledge in the several fields of study in wildlife disease and veterinary medicine.

A few weeks after participating in the conference, the University of Arizona’s WDA Student Chapter was awarded a grant from the WDA Student Activities Committee. These funds will be used towards the events and activities we planned for our student members this upcoming fall 2014 semester!
