Important Notes

• The University’s Grading Practices Policy states that some graded work be returned before the date to cancel a course without academic penalty. Please be aware that this is not practical for a two-week field course. 
• If you intend to graduate in the Fall, the field course final grades may not be available in time to allow for degree completion.
• A note on grades on ACORN: for St. George students, OUPFB courses are coded as EEB406H0Y because OUPFB courses have various dates. We must wait until we receive grades from all the OUPFB courses that UTSG students went on during the summer to update grades in ACORN. This means your grade may not be posted until October. This is especially important for students who are planning to graduate in the Fall.
  • Please note that in some cases students who have received their grades and are planning to graduate in Fall must have their grades submitted to ACORN by a specific deadline. Students who haven’t received their grades by that deadline will receive a 0 on ACORN, which will be amended as soon as the grade is available. This happens only if there are graduating students and cannot be avoided as the various OUPFB final grades must be submitted under one course code (EEB406).
• For St. George students: if you paid tuition per course in the previous Fall/Winter session, you will have to pay summer tuition and incidental fees once you have been added to the course. Summer tuition may be waived if (1) you paid tuition as a flat program fee in the previous Fall/Winter session; and (2) you are enrolled in the field course only (i.e., not enrolled in other courses over the summer); and (3) the field course count towards a program requirement. Please note that you must pay the incidental fees before the deadline. However, the incidental fees will be credited back to you sometime in July only if you do not enroll in other summer courses.
