Midterm grades provide an accurate picture of your academic progress so far this semester. Professors will be entering midterm grades between Oct. 14 and Oct. 18.

The last day to withdraw from a class in which you may be struggling without a graded responsibility is Sunday, Nov. 5, 2023. If you withdraw from a class, your transcript will show a “W.” If you do not withdraw and receive an F in the course, your GPA will suffer.

To check your grades in Canvas, log in to the Dashboard. On the right-hand side of the screen is a button titled “VIEW GRADES”. Here is a link to your Canvas Dashboard. If your professor has not yet given you a midterm grade, please contact them right away to find out where you stand in that course and have a conversation about your progress in the course.

Information regarding withdrawing from a class can be found here.

Students who received a D or an F on their midterms should contact their CAP coach as soon as possible to discuss the consequences of withdrawing from a class. If a student withdraws from a class, they should also contact their CAP coach to discuss their class schedule for future semesters. Follow this link to contact CAP coaches.

Academic resources for students are easily accessible on campus:
