Despite winter\u2019s approach, spring semester 2014 \u2014 which begins Monday, Jan. 6 \u2014 is just one calendar page away. <\/p>\n
To help students stay on top of approaching semester deadlines, the Division of Student Affairs is teaming with various administrative offices to offer reminders.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re taking a proactive approach,\u201d said Dr. Kaye Patten Wallace, senior vice president for the student experience. \u201cEveryone is liable to procrastinate, and if you\u2019re a student, delaying until you miss a critical deadline can create snags in your academic journey. We\u2019re working to emphasize the most important deadlines for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emails to students will go out over the upcoming weeks, identifying key deadlines:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Friday, Dec. 27<\/strong>, is the due date for spring 2014 semester payments, which includes the first Installment Payment Plan and\/or the completion of financial aid processes;<\/p>\n \u2022 Monday, Jan. 13<\/strong>, is the date at which late fees are assessed for past due balances (those covering spring and prior semesters); and<\/p>\n \u2022 Monday, Jan. 20<\/strong>, is the last day to drop for spring semester.<\/p>\n The University offers multiple resources to assist students in completing all necessary processes before the deadlines, Patten Wallace noted. <\/p>\n \u201cStudents who have been assigned a success coach can discuss their specific situation and any questions with their coach,\u201d she said. \u201cThe coaches are trained to be the first-line resource for students.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition, staff at Rocket Solution Central in Rocket Hall Room 1200 can walk students through any questions that may be more complicated. Students also can speak with staff by calling 419.530.8700. <\/p>\n
