Students are approaching that awkward part of the semester. The first test grades are starting to come in, and some are already realizing the harsh realities of their class schedules. 

The last day to withdraw from bi-term classes was yesterday, Sept. 17. Students still have until Oct. 15 to withdraw from semester-long classes, but sadly they will still have to pay.
