Keep track of Spring 2025 deadlines by downloading the academic calendar

Worrying about keeping track registration dates, add/drop deadlines, p/d/f and W deadlines, and the like?

The Registrar has you covered with its Google Calendar version of the Academic Calendar -- you can add this to your gBear calendar with just one click!  Registration and add/drop periods for fall are already added in, so this will help you ASAP

I'm in!  How can I add the Barnard Academic Calendar to my gBear Calendar?

1.  Go to https://barnard.edu/academic-calendar (or, honestly, just google-search "Barnard Academic Calendar" -- that's how I find it every time...)

2.  Click on View Barnard's academic calendar on Google Calendar (note: you must be logged into gBear to access this!). 

3.  In the google calendar that opens, go to the bottom right-hand corner and click on the blue square with the white plus sign (you'll know you're in the right place because when you hover your mouse there, text saying "Add to Google Calendar" will pop up).

4. Once you've added the calendar, set up notifications. Some recommended settings:

When/where/how to take your approved deferred exam from Fall 2024

 

Deferred exams for Fall 2024 classes

Deferred exams from Fall 2024 will be held on Friday, January 24th & Monday, January 27, 2025.  The Registrar will be in touch with you to confirm the location & room details regarding your exam details the week before exams.

Friday, January 24 9:00AM – 12:00PM - James Room (Barnard Hall)

Friday, January 24 1:00PM – 4:00PM - James Room (Barnard Hall)

Monday, January 27 9:00AM – 12:00PM - Event Oval in the Diana Center 

Monday, January 27 :00PM – 4:00 PM - Event Oval in the Diana Center 

For most in-person deferred exams, the registrar will follow a self-scheduled exam model. You will be contacted directly if your exam has a specific day and time. Otherwise, this model, followed by a number of peer institutions, allows students to select when to take their exams from among a number of blocked exam time periods. 

Fall 2024 deferred exams must be completed by Monday, January 27, 2025.

Pro Tips:

• If you have an unavoidable conflict between a deferred exam and a current class, prioritize the exam and email your instructor, copying your class dean, to say you were advised to do this and ask how to catch up on missed content
• If you have a choice, plan to take your deferred exam at the earliest possible opportunity -- that will give you a Plan B option if anything goes awry.
