A few notes about the start of Fall Quarter:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Details below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 \u2013Calendar Reminders and Updates<\/strong> \u2013 Classes start on Monday, September 21. Note, however, that Monday, September 28 was changed to be a non-instructional day in observance of Yom Kippur. In exchange, December 7 (formally a \u201cstudent success day\u201d) is the last day of instruction for Fall. Opening day and the Division retreats will occur on Sept 17 and 18. These are contract days for full time faculty, and adjunct faculty are eligible to receive stipends for attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 \u2013 Canvas Week \u201c0\u201d<\/strong> – We are continuing to make it possible for faculty to allow students access to their online courses starting September 14 \u2013 if the course is published. There are no expectations of students or faculty before Sept 21 to be in class or working, but this allows students to start reviewing the site before the quarter starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3 \u2013 Late Registration <\/strong>– In order to accommodate the challenges of late enrollment in an online world, we will be keeping registration open for the first three days of the quarter. This means students may still join your class (if it is not already full) through Wednesday, September 23. We are making every effort to assure that anyone who registers by Wednesday is in Canvas by Thursday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instructor permission will be required throughout the week to \u201cover enroll\u201d a class or add a student from the waitlist, and will also be accepted on Thursday and Friday. Late enrollment after Week 1 will follow the usual process that requires dean approval. The hope is that much of the shuffling can happen in the first three days, which will require fewer late registrations after that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 \u2013 Early Alert <\/strong>\u2013 The early alert program will continue into Fall and has been expanded to include other ways you can flag students who need intervention by an advisor. More details on that will be coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5- Student Advice Video<\/strong> \u2013See the Academic Affair Blog (post below) or the email from Sept 1 for details.
