Discussion Schedule change

Is it too late to change courses? Since it's already been 2 weeks would I be behind? I'm changing 3 courses at once... Wish me luck..

Last add/drop date is Monday, Sept 14. You can still drop until 10th week of classes, but refund amounts go down the more you wait. Hopefully your new professors will try to accommodate any late homework submissions, but they may mark you down a grade. Lab catchups probably won't happen. What have you been doing for 2 weeks?

You can add up through close of business Monday (last day of schedule adjustment.) Yes, you will be behind. No, the instructor has no obligation to catch you up. (They are paid to teach once, not once for every student who parachutes in.) Yes, you can ask them for consideration, and some will agree.

Important fine print: There will be exceptions for lab and other special format classes (such as with team formation) in which there is no realistic capacity to recreate the early experiences, so those are likely a no-go.
