Do you have an online class? Do you need to get ahead or catch up? Well...all online classes are accessible during winter break!
The end of the semester, January 23rd.
Classes are open over winter break (December 20-January 4). This is a great time to get caught up on work.
If classes are not done by January 23rd, a few things may happen: You will receive an F if your Relative grade is not close to 60%. You may receive an Incomplete or NG if you are within 15% of passing. You will still be expected to finish those classes to stay on track for graduation.
Turn in any teacher graded assignments no later than January 16th to ensure they are graded before the semester deadline. If you need help uploading these, please let me know.
I hope you all have a good holiday break and it gives time for fun, family, and getting caught up with work for those who need it.
Contact Zach Wolff if you have any questions.
Thanks
