We understand that prolonged absences from class meetings may be necessary for some students. Those in this situation should notify their instructors, who may offer alternate participation options or assignments. No medical documentation is required to excuse absences.

Students who must miss laboratory, studio, or practicum courses should work with their instructors to explore the possibility of alternative assignments or ways to complete the original course assignments remotely. Incompletes will be issued where this is not possible.

Students remain responsible for completing all class assignments and exams.

Your instructor will provide guidance on how to complete course assignments. Details concerning final exams will be provided at a later date. Please monitor Canvas for the most up-to-date information from your instructors about your courses.

Your instructor may have to restructure some assignments or exams in order to adapt them to the online environment, and therefore some components of grading may change. If this happens, your instructor may provide you with an updated grading policy.

You are encouraged to contact the office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies at ugdean@uncg.edu. Staff in that office can answer your questions quickly or direct you to others who can.

The first step is to contact the Office of Accessibility Resources and Services (OARS) so they can assist you and your faculty member with managing the transition to online learning. If you aren’t on campus, OARS is available by phone or email. The Keep Learning Resources Page provides their contact information. OARS will provide you with guidance for communicating your needs to your instructors.

The University recently approved the Academic Relief Package (ARP) which makes several temporary changes to the University’s academic policies to help lessen the negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on many undergraduate students. (For information on the Academic Relief Package for Graduate Students, please visit The Graduate School.) For more information about the Academic Relief Package visit this website. If you are receiving financial aid, the Financial Aid Academic Relief FAQs will help you double-check the impact any ARP choices may have on your future financial aid eligibility. You can also follow up with the Financial Aid Office or the Students First Office if you still have questions after reviewing this information.

Please consider talking with the Students First Office about next steps before moving forward with your withdrawal or any options available to you in the Academic Relief Package. You can call them at (336) 334-5730 or email them at students@uncg.edu.

Your academic advisor will be able to accommodate you by providing advising assistance via email, phone, or through a virtual appointment. You should contact them by phone or email. The Resources section of keeplearning.uncg.edu provides contact information for each Advising Center.

If you aren’t sure about who your advisor is or how to contact them, call or email the Students First Office (students@uncg.edu, 336-334-5730) and they’ll be able to direct you.

Up until that time, the Bookstore will be notifying students who have rented textbooks with instructions on how to return them.

You are encouraged to put all of the rented books you are returning in one box.

The Department of Education has issued guidance that the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid Recipients (SAP) is still in effect.
