[GW InfoMail] Making up classes cancelled by Hurricane Sandy

All GW Faculty, Students, and Staff,

As you are all well aware, the impacts of Hurricane Sandy led the university to cancel classes on October 29 and 30. In order to provide the full fourteen weeks of classes scheduled for the fall semester, GW will implement the following plan for making up those cancelled classes:

Monday, December 10: follow the regular Monday class schedule to make up classes from Monday, October 29.

Tuesday, December 11: follow the regular Tuesday class schedule to make up classes from Tuesday, October 30.

Wednesday, December 12: This will be the only Reading Day for the fall semester. Students are encouraged, as always, to complete assignments as early as possible and to use the weekend of December 8-9 to complete papers and projects and to prepare for final examinations.

Faculty may schedule make up classes for other classes that were cancelled during the semester through the Academic Scheduling Office at any time. In particular, classes that might have been made up on December 10, the originally scheduled Make Up Day, may be scheduled on Friday, December 7 and Saturday, December 8.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as GW seeks to provide the full complement of classes for the fall 2012 semester.

Senior Associate Provost for Academic Operations
