The Deadline to Withdraw From a Spring 2025 Class is March 27

 

How do I withdraw from a class (now that the drop deadline has passed)?

The deadline to withdraw from a spring 2025 class is Thursday, March 27. Withdrawn classes will not affect your GPA and you will not earn credit for them, but they will remain on your transcript, and a W will be entered place of the final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, 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 will not appear on your record until the end of the semester when final grades are entered.

Join Lift Up Barnard!

 Hi Juniors!

Where has the time gone!? It feels like just yesterday that you had graduated high school, and now you’re more than halfway through college! We’re sure that you (hopefully) have found your footing at Barnard, but if you’re still looking for another extracurricular and/or some more friends, we here at Lift Up Barnard wanted to remind you that we as a group are here for you!

In case you don’t know who we are, or would like a little refresher, we’re a student-led group dedicated to friendship and community at Barnard. Every week, we switch between having discussions about things like FOMO, stress, friend groups, and more, and having fun activities like origami sessions, movie/game nights, and other things like that. A few times a semester, we also take some off-campus trips to explore NYC together! In the past, we’ve gone to Hex & Co, Levain Bakery, a picnic in Central Park, and the Union Square Holiday Market.

It’s never too late to join our group, as we pride ourselves in being a welcoming space for all Barnard students, no matter what stage you’re at in your college journey.  We meet every Wednesday at 7pm in 227 Milbank. Reach out to us via email at liftupbarnard@gmail.com or on Instagram @liftupbarnard and join our mailing list here:  https://forms.gle/gccBFBzHhmWbUzcz8

We hope to meet y’all soon, and best of luck with the rest of the semester!

Love,
Lift Up Barnard

March 27 is the Deadline to Change your Grading Option to Pass/D/Fail

The deadline to change your grading option to PDF is March 27, 2025.   You may change your grading option to Pass/D/Fail in only one class per term.  Per this policy, a C- or better will be covered by a grade of P; if a grade of D or F is assigned, it will appear as such on your transcript. Grades of P will satisfy General Education Requirements. They will not count towards major requirement.  You will have until the end of the registration period (the second Friday of term) of the Fall 2025 semester to uncover a grade of P received in Spring 2025. 

Barnard students will use SSOL to elect P/D/F grading

-Click here to elect Spring 2025 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.

Deadline: Tuesday, February 25 is the last day to drop a class from your Spring 2025 schedule

 

Until February 25, you can drop a class from your Spring 2025 schedule, and the class will be completely removed from your record.  (Note that after February 25, and until March 27, you can still withdraw from a class, but it will stay on your transcript with the mark of W.)  You must stay enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits. 

Dropping a class involves a few steps.  Here is what to do: 

1.  Fill out this Slate form with a request to drop a specific class.  It will go to your adviser for their review 

2.  If the drop is approved, you will receive an email with special instructions on how to drop the class in Student Planning.

3.  Log back on to Student Planning to drop the class. 

Once you have completed these steps please review your Course Plan on Student Planning, to confirm your enrollment is correct.
