Carroll Claw | Week of 3/31
Hi! Welcome back from Spring Break! It’s time to gear up for the last half of the semester. If you need motivation or help, visit the Academic Center for a review session, drop-in tutoring, appointment tutoring, and more! Maybe a class isn’t going so well and you want to know your options. Talk with your professor and/or advisor about your progress and decide if a W grade is the right choice. The deadline to withdraw from a class is Wednesday, April 9.
We have a jam-packed last two months of the semester so keep an eye out for all of our spring celebrations on campus! We’ll see you at an event on campus soon!
