The deadline for withdrawing from courses is fast approaching; this year it is Friday November 15^th at 4 pm. This is the last opportunity for a student to withdraw from a semester (or second quarter) course.

Remember that the withdrawal form requires four signatures – it is important get those signatures in place quickly.

The withdrawal form is available in department offices, the associate dean’s offices and on the web:

http://www2.cortland.edu/dotAsset/29a247c2-ac8f-4b40-b887-751c7bd6704a.pdf

Students should be certain to have their fully completed forms in the associate dean’s office by 4 pm on Friday the 15^th.

After that date we will no longer accept course withdrawals – no exceptions!

Mid-Semester Estimates

It's already half way through the semester! Mid-semester estimates are now available for viewing in myRedDragon.

All students should receive estimates on their progress in all courses. The three options are:
“S” - Satisfactory
“U” - Unsatisfactory
“F” - Failing
“NR” means “Not Recorded” and typically indicates that your professor did not submit estimates by the deadline. To receive your mid-semester estimates in this case, see your professor directly.
"N" Student never attended the course that was registered for.

Estimates can be helpful in gauging your success so far in the course. If you received a U or F, talk to your professor during his/her office hours about how to improve your grades. Receiving an S indicates that you currently have a C or higher in your class. The U indicates C- and below.
Estimates of “S,” however, can also be deceiving since you may not have had enough graded assignments in the class to accurately assign a grade. At this time of year, it is a good habit to personally assess your performance in your classes. If you have concerns in a class, even if you received an “S,” talk to your professor and consider seeking academic help through ASAP on campus.
