Commuter Student Study Spaces! 4/26 & 4/29
The Non-Residential Support Office in collaboration with SEE and the Deans' Office for Advising and Support will be hosting Commuter Student study spaces!
Tuesday, April 9, 2024
DEADLINE ALERT: incomplete work from fall 2023 due MONDAY, April 15
If you took an Incomplete in any of your Fall 2023 classes, be sure to turn in all remaining written work to both the instructor and registrar@barnard.edu (so that it can be time-stamped as on time) no later than Monday, April 15, 2024.
Once the instructor submits the new final grade, it will completely replace the temporarly placeholder "I" grade, and your transcript will show no evidence of the former incomplete.
In between you submitting the work and the instructor entering the updated grade, you may see your grade temporarily changed to "WS" -- do not panic if you see this! It stands for "Work Submitted" and means you have done everything correctly and by the appropriate deadline.
If work is not submitted by the deadline, the instructor will be directed to enter the contingency grade, i.e. a final grade factoring in a zero for any missing work. The contingency grade will be preceded by an asterisk on the transcript (e.g. *B, *C-, *F).
If you are experiencing extenuating circumstances and would like to discuss the possibility of petitioning to extend an incomplete, please contact your class dean.

Registration now OPEN for University Commencement -- reserve your tix today!!!
Reminder that, as a Barnard student, you get to attend -- and must RSVP and request guest tickets for -- two Commencements: University Commencement on Columbia's campus the morning of May 15, and Barnard College Commencement at Radio City Music Hall on the afternoon of May 15.
You should by now have received the email below from commencement@barnard.edu advising you that registration/ticketing is now OPEN for University Commencement. (Stay tuned for upcoming info about Barnard tickets/registration!)
As Low Plaza seating may be limited, we strongly encourage all Barnard students to register ASAP for yourself and the maximum number of guest tickets for University Commencement. You can swap with friends later if you have too many or too few guest tickets -- just don't buy or sell the free tickets; that is of course unfair and not allowed!

Important update on NEW p/d/f and W deadlines
You should by now have received this email from Dean Tedder & Registrar Simmons:
|
Barnard College
3009 Broadway, New York, NY
How do I withdraw from a class by the **NEW** April 22, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. deadline
The **NEW** deadline to withdraw from a spring 2024 class is April 22, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.
Note that this is NOT the same date as the p/d/f deadline.
Withdrawn classes will not affect your GPA and you will not earn credit for them, but they will remain on your transcript, and a W will be entered place of the final grade.
Note: You may not withdraw from a class if doing so would leave you with fewer than 12 credits.
To withdraw from a class, use this online form , following these steps:
1. Consult with your adviser.
2. Get an email from your adviser confirming they approve you to withdraw from this specific class.
3. Download that email as a PDF or save a screenshot of it.
4. Complete and submit the online W form on or before the W deadline, uploading your adviser’s confirmation email when prompted to do so.
5. You will receive an email confirmation once your W request is processed, ordinarily within two business days.
Note that the W may not appear on your record until the end of the semester when final grades are entered.
NEW DEADLINE ALERT: April 29, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. EDT is now the deadline to P/D/F a Spring 2024 course
If you are considering electing the p/d/f option for a spring 2024 course, the **new** deadline to elect the p/d/f option is April 29, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. EDT (note that, unlike in past semesters, this is NOT the same date as the W deadline)
**Special note for May grads -- you cannot uncover grades of P from a course taken during your last semester.
Also, reminder that courses taken p/d/f this year are subject to the current rules. Read all about p/d/f rules on the Registrar's website:
To elect the P/D/F Grading option:
NEW process as of fall 2023:
Barnard students will use SSOL to elect P/D/F grading
-Click here to elect a Fall 2023 course for P/D/F grading. (Use a browser other than Safari).
-Click on P/D/F grading then Grading Option Change Request.
This form can be used to elect Pass/D/Fail for a course where that option is not available in SSOL.
To undo/ revoke your p/d/f election - or switch the election to a different class (this must be done prior to the P/D/F grading deadline):
-Go to ssol.columbia.edu and go to Pass/D/Fail Uncover.
FAQ: I tried to elect the p/d/f option in SSOL but there's a note saying P/D/F is unavailable? Does this mean I can't p/d/f this class????
A: No! If P/D/F is unavailable in SSOL, you can still p/d/f your course -- you just need to use this Slate form.
Some classes may not have p/d/f available in SSOL, but this does NOT mean you can't take the class p/d/f -- the only reason you would not be allowed to take something p/d/f would be if you need it for a major or minor requirement.
