Closing Up the Quarter

Hello, wonderful Humanities students!

As we approach the final weeks of the quarter, we know things can become busy and we want to remind you to put your well-being first. Now is a great time to check in with your advisors, if you need support or guidance during these next few weeks. Prioritizing balance now will help you wrap up the quarter feeling both accomplished and well.

Course Drop & Grade Change Information

We want to remind you of the deadline for converting grades and dropping classes is just around the corner. Here's everything you should know about the processes:

Use your self-service drop if you haven't dropped a course yet.
Students must complete the Current Quarter Drop (CQD) process to drop more than one class or to fully withdraw.
Students whose enrollment requires full-time status must use the CQD process to drop any classes.

You can change your courses to and from the Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory (S/NS) grading. Here's some information about grading:

Numerical (0.00-4.00) grades count towards degree/major requirements and impact your overall GPA.
Satisfactory/Non-Satisfactory grades are not applied to degree/major requirements or your GPA.
Changes can be made on your registration page. ($20 fee per change)

Here are some upcoming deadlines:

Last day to drop classes or withdraw - December 6, 2024
Last day to change grades - December 13, 2024

If you are unsure about these options, please come meet with our advisors to explore which option is best for you.

Resource Corner: Indigenous Support Across Campus

With Native American Heritage day around the corner on Friday, November 29th, we wanted to showcase how to receive support and provide support to UW's Indigenous community all year round.

Join campus communities like the RSO First Nations @ UW or the ASUW American Indian Student Coalition which work to promote Native culture. You can also attend events at The Intellectual House (pictured to the right), which is a multi-purpose community space. Click here for a full list of organizations.

Engage with Indigenous scholarship by taking American Indian Studies (AIS) courses, either to fulfill general education requirements or to fulfill major requirements when courses are cross-listed. You can also engage in centers focusing on Indigenous studies, such as The Indigenous Wellness Research Institute and The Center for American Indian & Indigenous Studies.

Attend out-of-classroom experiences, such as The Indigenous Walking Tour , created by UW alum Owen L. Oliver, which showcases seven locations on campus with rich and complex Indigenous history. You can also visit the Burke Museum, which features Indigenous art in the Bill Holm Center and Indigenous food at Off the Rez Cafe.
