  • Students: Wednesday, April 7, at 11 a.m.
  • Staff/Administrators: Tuesday, April 6, at noon
  • Faculty: Tuesday, April 6, at 3 p.m.

Please plan to attend if at all possible, as we are hoping for a wide range of input for the team. Watch The Daily Bruin for Zoom links to your designated meeting time.

Important midterm grade information

Friday, March 19th, 2021

Please note that Sunday, March 28, is the last day to withdraw from a class without a graded responsibility for the class.

Withdrawing from a class: This means that if you withdraw from a class you will receive a “W” on your transcript. If you don’t withdraw now and ultimately don’t pass a course, your GPA will be affected in a negative way.

If your professor has not provided you with a mid-term grade, please contact them immediately to find out what your status is in that course. Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

CAP Coaches: Students with a “D” or “F” on their midterms should make an appointment with their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the ramifications of withdrawing from a class. 

Students withdrawing from a class should contact their CAP coach as well to discuss their class schedule for future semesters. Click here to contact your CAP Coach.
