________________________________
We want to remind you to continuously check the UCR Academic Calendar for important deadlines or any upcoming enrollment days/times
Here is the link to refer to the UCR Academic Calendar: https://registrar.ucr.edu/calendar
Starting Monday, October 19th, any enrollment modification (add/drop) course requests for the Fall 2020 term will be submitted through the Enrollment Adjustment form (myforms.ucr.edu). We would like to remind you of some changes to the drop, Satisfactory/No Credit, and withdraw deadlines for the fall quarter that differ from previous quarters as we address enrollment and academic concerns due to COVID-19. This is similar information to what you have already received on 10/02/2020. If you have any questions about this or the following message below, please contact your primary advisor via email or schedule an appointment to discuss requesting any of these options toward your fall 2020 enrollment to ensure that they are beneficial and appropriate.
Message:
Due to the challenges posed by COVID-19, we are adjusting the withdrawal/drop deadlines for fall 2020 and winter 2021 quarters:
A student may drop a course (receive no "W") without prior approval no later than the end of the second full week of instruction. From the third through the end of the eighth full week of instruction, a course may be dropped with the approval of the advisor. Any course drop which would reduce the undergraduate student's academic load to less than 12 units must be approved by the college. Any withdrawals (with a "W") after the eighth week will require college approval. The final date to petition for conversion from letter grade to S/NC or vice versa will be the end of the eighth full week of instruction.
This change in policy is also reflected on the UCR Academic Calendar at https://registrar.ucr.edu/calendar#last_day_to
This academic change has no impact on the University of California refund policy (https://registrar.ucr.edu/tuition-fees/refunds) for University Withdrawals.

Community Engaged Learning Opportunities
* Please contact Sarah E. Juarez (Community Learning Coordinator) at gsoelearningcoord at ucr.edu<mailto:gsoelearningcoord at ucr.edu> if you are interested in our community engaged learning opportunities below and want to learn how to access them.
If you are not able to access a computer with a camera but are still interested in signing up, please let Sarah know.
1. Freshmen Collective - Peer Mentoring
The Freshman Collective is an exciting new mentoring program for UCR students who are entering college as a freshman. Students are matched with mentors who are there to offer guidance as students acclimate to life in college. Mentors will assist mentees in navigating the many adjustments that students often face when attending college for the first time.
Students connect with one another using text messages. There is no need for an app, no downloads, nor any websites to visit. Just text your mentee(s) to see how they are doing.
Here’s how the Freshman Collective works:
* Time Commitment:
* Mentors serve for one-year (Oct-June). However, you’re more than welcome to stay connected with your mentee(s) after the program formally ends.
* We recommend that you connect with your mentee(s) at least once per month, typically about 1-2 hours a month.
* Mentors take a one-time, 30 minute, mentor training to show you how to connect and provide you with the resources to be a great mentor.
* Matching Process:
* Students complete a survey about themselves and their backgrounds.
* Mentor Collective matches students and mentors based on what the student says is most important to them.
* We expect mentees to begin signing up in early October.
* Once you are matched with a mentee, you will both decide how you want to connect, which can happen via email, phone, video chat, text, or in-person.
For more information, please visit https://ue.ucr.edu/freshman-collective-mentoring
