Student Senate votes to place
deadline extension on ballot
By Stan Nelson
(N the Kmarald
The Student Senate on Monday unanimously
approved placing a measure on the ASUO spring
election ballot that would extend the time
students have to drop classes.
The ballot measure would extend from 10
school days to 20 school days the time students
have to drop classes without receiving a "W,"
meaning withdraw, on their transcripts.
If the extension is approved by a majority of
University students, the Senate will present a mo
tion to accept the extension before the University
Senate, said Student Senator Kandy Mac Donald.
*The whole idea (of the drop
deadline) is to see how a stu
dent is doing in a class/
— Donna Lawrence
•'. “It .(student approval) would give us a stu
dent mandate for. change.” he said.'
A general election vote will reach a large
group of people and reflect the opinions' of
students as a whole, which will give the results
credibility, he said.
■ Monday's vote followed a Student. Senate
survey In which 95 percept of the students who
responded supported the proposal. Of the Univer
sity faculty, who respond to a simular Student
Senate survey. 40 percent said the currant time
‘allotment is too short.
Hut because- only about 10 percent of the
University’<« 1.400 faculty members and only 61
students responded id the surveys, many of those
in a position to change the cutoff date do not con
■ aider the statistics valid, said Student Senate
Chair Donna Lawrence,'/ ''.777 -V- V
• “Theyvhole idea (of the drop deadline), is to
see how a student is doing in a class,” Lawrence
said. The current drop period gives students only
four to six class days to decide to drop a class
before receiving a "W,” she said.
The last day to drop a class without a ”W” is
also the last day of late registration.
But there is no reason to extend the deadline
longer than for other registration activities, said
University Registrar Herb Chereck. The two-week
deadline is ample time if students survey their
courses before enrolling, he said.
• The ”W” on a student's transcript is
necessary if a student does not complete a course.
Chereck said. From a record-keeping standpoint,
the academic history Of the student would not be
accurately represented if the deadline to drop a
class without notation was extended, he said ■*.
