It’s already week 7 of Fall term and class grades are beginning to stabilize, so now is the time to ask yourself: “Are my grades where I want them to be?” and “Should I allow this course to affect my GPA?”  If you answered no to either of these questions, talk to your advisor and see if it is possible to S/U a troublesome class, or even withdraw from it.

To S/U a class means changing from the traditional A-F grading basis to a satisfactory/unsatisfactory one.  If you choose to do this, you need to fill out the Change of Grading Basis Form and have it signed by your advisor.  A grade of an “S” or a “U” has no grade point equivalency and will not be calculated into your overall GPA.

A withdrawn course will appear on your transcript with a grade of W. The W grade does not affect your GPA. The W grade indicates that the course was withdrawn after the drop period.  To withdraw from a class, there also needs to be documentation of approval.  This is called a Late Change of Registration Petition.  This also needs an instructor’s signature and is highly recommended to have an advisor’s signature as well.

The deadline to S/U or Withdraw from a class is Friday, November 14!

If you have any questions, please contact the Student Services Office, located in Peavy 250 or call 541-737-1594.

Happy Halloween College of Forestry!

It’s that time of year again; a chance to dress up and revel in the spirit of Halloween!  That means it is also time to schedule an advising appointment to prepare for Winter Term!  Take advantage of the College of Forestry’s new online appointment system to schedule an appointment.

As you prepare to meet with your advisor, begin thinking about courses that you want to take this upcoming term, and come with questions!  Some things that should be crossing your mind include:

• Am I on track to graduate by my goal date?
• How did I perform this term academically and is that where I want to be?
• How can I improve my academic performance next term?

Priority registration for Phase 1 of the 2015 Winter Term begins on Sunday, November 16th!

Have a safe and happy Halloween weekend!
