Hi all,
Mid-September means you are beginning to receive grades in some of your courses and now is a great time to utilize office hours and opportunities to connect with your professors and course assistants. They can help provide clarity for the course material and offer support as needed.
To discuss any questions about satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade options or dropping a course, you can make an appointment with any of the team in the Dyson Office of Student Services and Advising.
This is also a wonderful time to practice self-care in support of your physical and mental health. Self-care can be as simple as enjoying a walk while listening to your favorite song or a sunset on Libe Slope. Check out additional ideas here.
Enjoy the slightly cooler weather this week!

Director, Dyson Office of Student Services & Advising
