Dear University of Washington students,
Autumn 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 and request form.
Current Quarter Drop Process
Use the Current Quarter Drop by the last day of instruction each quarter to drop one class or, to drop more than one class or withdraw from the quarter entirely, use the Adviser Assisted Drop Request Process.
- Late Course Drop Period: Use of Current Quarter Drop is required and a $20 fee is assessed.
- Deadline: Friday, December 6, 2024.
S/NS Grading Option Change Process
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.
- Last day to change to or from S/NS grade option with a $20 fee.
- Deadline: Friday, December 13, 2024
Incomplete Grade Policy and Request Form
- Starting on the third week before the end of the quarter, you may submit the Incomplete Grade Request form to your instructor.
- Review the new Incomplete Grade Policy and access the Incomplete Grade Request form if you wish to ask for an Incomplete grade for a course this quarter.
Autumn 2024 Graduates
For those of you graduating at the end of the quarter, congratulations!
While autumn quarter grades are due at 5 p.m. 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 graduation requirements 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 address. 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 receive 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 adviser as soon as possible; you will have 45 days from the email date 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 posted on your unofficial transcript, you have not graduated (even if you attended the Commencement ceremony or your departmental graduation ceremony). Reach out to your adviser as soon as possible to follow up on your graduation status.
Sincerely,
HELEN B. GARRETT, Ed.D., University Registrar
