April 15th isn’t only “tax day”!
Friday, April 15 is the last day for graduate students to drop ALL Spring semester courses from their Spring registration without a grade of W and thus withdraw from Spring semester. Students need to complete a Withdrawal/Cancellation form and obtain their department’s signature and, in the case of International Students, a signature from International Student Scholar Services. Students considering this action are encouraged first to discuss their decision with their adviser and/or program.
Friday, April 15 is the last day to drop individual full term Spring semester courses without a grade of W. Students need to complete a Late Course Change form to complete the process, but first are encouraged to discuss their decision with their adviser and/or program. Dropping a course may affect progress toward degree completion, so the decision is best done in consultation with a student’s program.
Friday, April 29 is the last day to complete a master’s capstone project (or thesis) deposit. Because deposit deadlines are firm, students are strongly encouraged to submit the thesis or capstone project to the NRES office at least two weeks before the deadline in order to allow sufficient time to make and re-submit all requested format corrections. For May graduation, any corrections requested by the Department, and all required deposit materials, must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the day of the deposit deadline.
Saturday, May 14 is commencement. For further information, go to: http://www.grad.illinois.edu/commencement.
