The College will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Access and Services for Individuals with Disabilities for information about registration (166 Thorndike Hall). Services are available only to students who are registered and submit appropriate documentation. As your instructor, I am happy to discuss specific needs with you as well.
IN Incomplete. The grade of
Incomplete is to be assigned only when the course attendance
requirement has been met but, for reasons satisfactory to the
instructor, the granting of a final grade has been postponed because
certain course assignments are outstanding. If the outstanding
assignments are completed within one calendar year from the date of the
close of term in which the grade of Incomplete was received and a final
grade submitted, the final grade will be recorded on the permanent
transcript, replacing the grade of Incomplete, with a transcript
notation indicating the date that the grade of Incomplete was replaced
by a final grade.
If the outstanding work is not completed within one calendar year from
the date of the close of term in which the grade of Incomplete was
received, the grade will remain as a permanent Incomplete on the
transcript. In such instances, if the course is a required course or
part of an approved program of study, students will be required to
re-enroll in the course including repayment of all tuition and fee
charges for the new registration and satisfactorily complete all course
requirements. If the required course is not offered in subsequent
terms, the student should speak with the faculty advisor or Program
Coordinator about their options for fulfilling the degree requirement.
Doctoral students with six or more credits with grades of Incomplete
included on their program of study will not be allowed to sit for the
certification exam.
Teachers College students have the responsibility for activating the Columbia University Network ID (UNI), which includes a free Columbia email account. As official communications from the College – e.g., information on graduation, announcements of closing due to severe storm, flu epidemic, transportation disruption, etc. -- will be sent to the student’s Columbia email account, students are responsible for either reading email there, or, for utilizing the mail forwarding option to forward mail from their Columbia account to an email address which they will monitor.
