• First and foremost, students should discuss any issue with their professor, followed by the Department Chair if unsatisfied with the professor’s decision. If the issue is still unresolved, additional appeals can be made to the Dean of the College, and as a last resort, the Provost.
  
  
• For specific guidelines regarding a complaint or issue, please refer to the "Academic Dispute Procedures" (Article 2 in the "Student Grievance Procedures") listed in the Student Handbook.

• Most importantly, discuss any difficulties with your instructor as early in the semester as possible. It is best to ask for help as soon as needed, instead of waiting until you are too far behind to catch up.

  • CAPS for tutoring services
  • El Centro de la Raza
  • American Indian Student Services

• If withdrawing from all courses prior to the 12th week, students should utilize LoboWeb. Holds may prevent registration changes in LoboWeb. Please contact the department originating the hold (e.g. Bursar's Office, Admissions, etc.) for instructions.

• If you drop/withdraw within the first three weeks of the semester (for 16 week classes), you will not receive a grade for the course.
  • If you withdraw, "withdrew" and the date will be on your transcript.  
  • If you drop, the course will not appear on the transcript.
• If you drop/withdraw after the third week of classes, you will receive a "W." This grade will not have an impact on your grade point average.
• You may see "Drop with Grade" in LoboWeb - this means that you will receive an official withdrawal grade of "W" for that course. You will not receive your current grade in the course upon drop/withdrawal.

• To enter a closed class, the course instructor must complete an override in LoboWeb.
  
  
• To take a course as an "audit," the student should submit a yellow card to the Records Office in One-Stop, Mesa Vista North.

• Students must use LoboWeb (accessed by NetID and password) to register, add, drop, or withdraw from classes.
  .

• First, discuss incompletes with your instructor(s).
  
  
• If the instructor(s) agrees to assign an "incomplete," finish any work she/he requires.
  
  
• The instructor will submit an "I" on the grade report, which must be resolved within one year of the published last day of the semester.
  
  
• Students are responsible for making arrangements with the instructor for resolving an incomplete grade.
