Cancelling or moving classes

Three steps:

• Let your students know by website or email;
• Call or email Joy Kane:�765-494-3730 or jakane@purdue.edu;
• Post official form on your classroom door�(or ask us to help).

Tell us! We need this info for emergencies, lost students, etc.

Conferences and holidays

• If you conference on Monday, please email your Monday conference this weekend, explain how conferencing works, and plan for the first day as you see fit.
• On weeks with holidays, please don’t cancel all conferences that week because of holidays. (Same as weeks when you need to cancel a conference or classroom day for sickness or other issues.)

Midterm grade policies

• University policy states: “Between the beginning of the fifth week and the end of the seventh week, all students enrolled in 10000-29999 level and those approved for foundational courses shall be provided graded feedback by their faculty. These grades will not become part of the permanent record.”
• Make sure you have provided graded feedback to your students by the end of the seventh week.
• You do not need to calculate a midterm grade for them.
• If you use portfolios, you will need to provide an estimated grade, but this grade is not part of students’ permanent records.
• Goal: ensure students understand their progress in time to withdraw from the course or get help if they need it.
