Autumn 2024 End-of-Quarter Reminders

November 20, 2024

This message was sent to all registered students at UW Tacoma.

Dear University of Washington Tacoma students, 

Autumn quarter 2024 is coming to an end on Friday, December 13, 2024 and we want to remind you of the deadlines associated with the Current Quarter Drop, the S/NS Grading Option change process, and to draw your attention to the new Incomplete Grade Policy.

Current Quarter Drop

Deadline: Friday, December 6, 2024

Use the Current Quarter Drop by the last day of instruction each quarter to drop one class; to drop more than one class or withdraw from the quarter entirely, use the Advisor Assisted Drop Process. During the Late Course Drop Period, a $20 fee is assessed. Tuition forfeiture may also apply.

If you miss the Current Quarter Drop deadline, consider the Former Quarter Drop petition if you experienced extenuating circumstances during the quarter. Petitions must address why you missed the Current Quarter Drop deadline, require supportive materials, and are reviewed by committee for a decision.

S/NS Grading Option Change Process

Deadline: Friday, December 13, 2024

Use the S/NS Grading Option Change Process by the last day of the quarter to set your grade mode for eligible classes to S/NS or numeric grading. The $20 Change of Registration fee applies each time you request a grading option change.

Incomplete Grade Policy and Request Form

Submit the Incomplete Grade Request form to your instructor starting the third week before the quarter ends. Review the new Incomplete Grade Policy if you wish to request an Incomplete grade for this quarter.

Graduating Autumn Quarter 2024?

For those of you graduating at the end of the quarter, congratulations!

While autumn quarter grades are due at 5 PM on Tuesday, December 17, 2024 and posted to transcripts the following day, it may take several weeks once the quarter has ended for your degree to be granted and posted to your transcript.

Students who have completed all requirements to graduate will get an email confirming their official graduation status once their degree is granted. This email will have the subject "University of Washington Notification of Degree Posting: Next Steps." It will be sent from registra@uw.edu to your uw.edu email. If you haven't already done so, be sure to set up email forwarding from your UW email account, as you will lose access to your UW email in the months following your last quarter of registration.

Once you have received this email, review your unofficial transcript on MyUW and verify that what has been posted on your transcript matches your degree, major, and minor expectations. If there are any discrepancies, reach out to your academic advisor as soon as possible; you will have 45 days from the date of the email to notify our office of any errors. After that time, no other changes can be made to your academic record once your degree has been posted. 

If you have not received this email within a month after the quarter has ended, and do not see your degree post on your unofficial transcript, you have not graduated (even if you attended the Commencement ceremony or your departmental graduation ceremony). Reach out to your advisor as soon as possible to follow up on your graduation status.
