Daylight Savings

If you are enrolled in courses across global locations, please be aware of daylight savings dates, which may shift your course times at different moments in the spring semester. Here is a time converter students can use to figure out their class schedules with the time change.

It is the student's responsibility to calculate these changes and leave a buffer when necessary. Faculty will not be expected to accommodate course time conflicts arising from daylight savings shifts.

In cases where daylight savings time results in course time conflicts later in the semester, students will be expected to withdraw from course(s) with grade of W and without refund if after the add/drop deadline. 

Class Time Conflicts 

It is the student's responsibility to make sure that their enrolled courses don't have time conflicts. Faculty will not be expected to accommodate course time conflicts.

Students will be expected to withdraw from course(s) with grade of W and without refund if after the add/drop deadline.
