NT Registrar's Office announces deadlines
to drop courses, withdraw from university
By John Whitten
Daily Reporter
The last day to drop a course and the final day to withdraw from the university
usually have been on the same date, but this semester they are on different
dates.
Nov. 8 is the last day to drop a course with consent of the instructor; Nov. 23
is the final date to withdraw from the university.
The Academic A.ffairs Committee made the decision last spring to move the
final day to drop a course because of a request made by the Registrar’s Office,
said Dr. William May of the music faculty, committee chairman.
The committee was appointed by the Faculty Senate to make the decision.
“There were a number of reasons for the change,” May said Monday. “It
helps the Registrar’s Office so that they won’t have so many deadlines on one
date, and the faculty members will be able to make decisions on the student’s
progress.
“It also helps the students. Now that the final day to drop a course isn’t so
close to a holiday (Thanksgiving), they won’t have to worry about chasing
down instructors.”
Students who are passing courses they drop will receive grades of “W,”
while students who are failing courses they drop will receive “WF.”
The “W” will not hurt a student’s grade-point average, but a “WF’
counts as a failing grade and will be included in the GPA.
Lynn McCreary, assistant registrar, said, “If students want to drop a class,
they will need the instructor to sign the approved drop form and bring it by the
Registrar’s Office by 5 p.m. on the final day.
“Students who wish to withdraw from the university do not need instructor
approval but do need to fill«out a withdrawal form,” McCreary said.
As with dropping a course, a grade of “W” or “WF’ will be given for
each course when students withdraw from the university by Nov. 23.

Sorority pledges

By Jana Parrott
Daily Reporter
The Delta Zeta sorority pledge class
is working to make this Halloween safe
for children of Denton.
Members of the class will take chil-
dren trick or treating at College Inn from
5 to 7 p.m. Sunday and from 3 to 5
p.m. Monday.
“The purpose of this service is to
make Halloween safe and fun for the

Graduate
deadline
nears
The deadline for graduate students
to apply for December graduation is
Nov. 7, an NT official said Tuesday.
Pat Bennett, assistant to the dean of
graduate students, said degree candidates
must submit their applications to the
Graduate Deans Office, Administration
Building 206.
Requirements include filling out the
application form, paying all fees for
graduation, removing all incompletes
from courses, completing foreign lan-
guage requirements and, if required in
the student’s degree plan, filing an
original copy of thesis or dissertation.
Aside from those requirements, a
student’s application may be turned
down if he does not have a 3.0 grade-
point average entering his last semester,
Bennett said.
Students doing a dissertation or a
thesis might have trouble meeting the
deadline, she said. However, these
students have until the last class day to
submit their applications. They will not
be able to graduate in December, but
they will not have to enroll again,
Bennett said.
pledge class President Cheryl Grate,
Arlington sophomore.
“Those residents who want to par-
ticipate are to turn in their names, phone
numbers and room numbers to the Col-
lege Inn front desk before Oct. 30,"
she said.
Halloween decorations will be placed
on the doors of those residents who wish
to participate. Members of the sorority
pledge class will take the children to
designated doors.
Residents of the dorm will serve
refreshments in the College Inn Study
Lounge to the children's parents while
they are trick or treating.
“We are going to take information
to Denton elementary schools for the
children to take home to their parents,”
Grate said.
