<div style="margin-bottom:6pt">Greetings AAC and UPAC colleagues!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6pt">I hope you are doing well during this busy time for the advising community. Please take care of yourself as you advise your students.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><b><u>This message is to update you on a forthcoming message that will come from Provost Folks to students and instructors later this week. I am sending you a “Heads-up” but do not change advising on this policy until the official
message is sent to students later this week. If I am notified of distribution date and receive a copy, I will share with you.</u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6pt">In the official communication from Provost Folks, she will share a Fall 2022 Academic Policy Exception concerning the Withdrawal deadline and 18 unit maximum. Below is an excerpt concerning the policy exception. It might be
edited but this gives you basic information that is anticipated. A bit later in the message from Provost Folks, you will see a message about academic advisors as a resource. The Directors of Academic Advising across all the colleges assisted in developing
this message that reminds students that academic advisors are a resource. Thanks to these colleagues for quick response.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6pt">This information is being shared with you to allow you to prepare for potential communication from students and to clarify that our students will have a wider window to consider a withdraw from a course and not have it count in
the 18 unit maximum. <b><u>Again, I stress that this policy change is not official until the communication is sent from Dr. Folks, later this week. Please do not release yet.
</u></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6pt">I appreciate all that you are doing to support and empower students to accomplish their goals. Every time I have the opportunity to interact with any of you, I am so impressed with your commitment to students and the University
of Arizona. I enjoy every interaction!</div>
