STUDENT RESOURCES FOR DISTANCE LEARNING
|
|
Dear Students:
As everyone adjusts to the new way of doing things, CUNY has updated the
University calendar
to include new, extended deadlines to change course designations and submit work for incomplete courses. Even as we experience unprecedented changes in our society, it is critical for you to keep your academic and career goals on track, and Baruch is here to help.

- Thursday, April 2: Distance Learning Resumes
- Wednesday, April 8-Friday, April 10: Adjusted Spring Recess
Spring Recess is being shortened and adjusted and this time period includes Good Friday and the beginning of Passover. Individuals whose religious observation extends into the week of April 13 may request a religious exemption. CUNY's guidance for religious accommodation can be found
here
.
- Thursday MAY 14th : Last Day to Withdraw from a class
- Thursday MAY 14th : Last Day to apply for Pass/No Credit
GRADING POLICY FLEXIBILITY
The extraordinary circumstances in which we are all living have also prompted the University to enact a flexible credit/no credit policy, under which students will have up to 20 days after they receive their grades to decide, in consultation with their advisors, if they wish to convert any or all earned letter grades to Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) grading. Pending approval by the CUNY Board of Trustees, this policy will go into effect Wednesday, April 1. Information about the impact of CR/NC grading on financial aid and academic progress will be forthcoming soon from CUNY.

Writing Center
The Writing Center is here to support you—remotely! For the remainder of the Spring semester, the Writing Center can help you with your writing in three different ways:
- 50-minute, one-to-one online consultations: Our 50-minute consultations allow you to chat in real time with one of our professional writing consultants and make changes in a collaborative online workspace. All consultants offer text-based chat, and some consultants are also able to meet with audio or audio+video through our online scheduler.
- Written feedback: If you aren’t able to meet in real time with a consultant, you can still get feedback on your writing via email. Upload your draft to our online scheduler, let us know 2-3 things you want feedback on, and one of our consultants will send you comments via email.
- Online writing resources: You also have 24/7 access to our collection of online resources, including writing guides, online resources, and our journal of outstanding student writing from fellow Baruch students.
