My
administration accepts the Senate's recommendation to lengthen the
add/drop
period by one day to an eight-day drop period and a nine-day add
period, making
permanent the trial period adopted during the last two academic years. By copy of this letter, I ask that the online
Academic Calendar be adjusted to reflect the extended add/drop period
going
forward. In addition, in accordance with
the Senate’s second recommendation, I ask that the online
Schedule of Classes
and the Webreg website post the Senate’s recommended cautionary
language
regarding the risks that students run by adding a course late in the
add/drop
period.
I
appreciate ASRAC’s careful deliberations on this issue and am
pleased that a
permanent resolution has been reached.
Sincerely
yours,
Richard L. McCormick
