SUMMARY:LAST DAY TO DROP A CLASS
DESCRIPTION:TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO DROP A CLASS.  \nGSAS does not allow a student to drop a class after TODAY.*  \nClasses dropped up to and including TODAY will not appear in your transcript.  \nDropping a Course is a Two-Step Process.  \nWhen you request to drop a course\, you will receive an email when your request has been approved.  Then you must log in to SSOL to complete the drop.   \nHERE is information about the Add/Drop Tool.  ALWAYS check that the course has been dropped from your schedule.   \nNot all Classes are Pass/Fail or R-Credit Available.   \nPlease speak with the Professor before the Drop Date if you are considering pass/fail or R credit to make sure that is an option.  \nImportant:   \n\n\n\nClasses dropped before the deadline will not appear in your transcript.  \nIf you do not drop the class from your schedule\, you will receive a grade for the course.**\nA course must have a grade in order to count for graduation. \nPass/Fail or R credit do not count for graduation\n\n\n\nQuestions about Registration:   \n\n\n\nVisit the Student Service Center in Kent Hall \nTelephone:  212-854-4400\nEmail:  ssc@columbia.edu.  \n\n\n\n*Exception:  If the class is successfully cross-registered into another SCHOOL (For example\, the Engineering School (SEAS) or the Business School\, etc.) follow the deadlines for THAT School. \n**Not attending classes or sending a notification to the instructor does not constitute dropping a course. Students who stop attending a course without formally dropping it by the deadline should be assigned a letter grade based on the same criteria as students who complete the course. \n***Deadlines for half-semester courses are different from full-semester courses.  Half-semester courses must be dropped within the first two weeks.***

SUMMARY:LAST DAY to choose PASS/FAIL or R CREDIT for a FULL SUMMER COURSE
DESCRIPTION:Decisions to take a particular course Pass/Fail or for R credit are not reversible after this date (GSAS Rule).  \n\nCourses taken for PASS/FAIL or R Credit DO NOT COUNT TOWARD GRADUATION. \nA class must have a LETTER GRADE to count toward graduation.\nA course taken for Pass/Fail cannot be taken a second time to receive a better grade.*\n\nCOURSES TAKEN FOR R GRADE OR PASS/FAIL\nDuring the semester there are important dates to remember including the LAST DAY to DROP COURSES and the LAST DAY for R Grade & PASS/FAIL.  These deadlines are strictly followed.** \nPASS/FAIL — Not all courses are eligible for P/F.  \n\nCheck on SSOL to see if the course is eligible for P/F and select.\nIf not available on SSOL\, check with your instructor.\nIf instructor approves P/F\, but it’s NOT eligible on SSOL\, have the instructor sign a RAF .  Send the form to gsas-studentaffairs@columbia.edu. \nClick HEREfor further details on the “Pass/Fail” grade.\n\nR CREDIT \n\nR grades must be approved by the course instructor.  You must make an arrangement with the instructor.\nClick HERE for further details on the “R” grade. \n\nCourses taken for R or Pass/Fail do not count towards the MA Statistics degree. \n\nCore classes may not be taken for R or P/F.\n\nFrom the GSAS Website:   \nR credit and Pass/Fail (P/F) are two different marks. Unlike R credit\, the mark of P/F assesses the quality of a student’s performance. Additionally\, students taking a course Pass/Fail are evaluated on all the gradable assignments for the course.  \nStudents who elect to take a course for R credit are not required to take the final examination; however\, they must meet all other course requirements\, unless the instructor states otherwise in writing. \nOnce the Drop Date is past\, all the classes on your schedule will remain on your transcript.  \n*Students are not allowed to re-register for a course to improve letter grade.  (The only exception would be for a Grade of F which must be approved by the instructor\, the Faculty Director of the MA Program\, and the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.  While the second grade will be used to determine graduation\, the original “F” will remain on the transcript and will affect the cumulative GPA that is visible on the transcript.)  \n\nReview REQUIREMENTS of the MA Degree.\nReview GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING.
