ATTENTION HUSKIES: TODAY (Monday, November 11th) is the LAST DAY that you can withdraw from a course AND place a course on pass/fail.

WITHDRAW: If you feel there is a course that is negatively impacting your GPA and you won’t be able to improve by the end of the semester, this may be the option for you. Please note, you will have to receive approval from your advisor/the Dean through a request form that you must submit.

PASS/FAIL: If you feel there is a course that you do not want to drop nor want to negatively impact your GPA, this is a great option to consider. Please note you CANNOT place a course on pass/fail if you are currently on scholastic probation/subject to dismissal or if you have already exceeded the 12-credit pass/fail limit.

Happy National First-Generation Day, Huskies! Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of our first-gen community. We’re proud of the path you’re paving and the unique perspectives you bring to our campus every day.

National First-Generation Day (November 8th) commemorates the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965, a landmark legislation that opened the doors to college for many students by increasing federal financial aid and resources. This day reminds us of the progress we’ve made and the dedication of first-gen students in overcoming obstacles to achieve their dreams.

Here’s to the journey ahead and the milestones we’ll continue to celebrate together!
