This has been another challenging semester, and if you fell behind in any of your classes and aren't able to pass them, your best option is to drop those courses with a W grade via your CUNYfirst Student Center. The withdrawal deadline for Fall 2021 is TODAY, December 13. FYI, W grades do not impact your GPA. (However, if you have any questions about how Ws might impact financial aid, you can contact the QC Hub via Live Chat or by email at QCHub@qc.cuny.edu.)
If you are unable to complete a final course assignment and would like to take an incomplete (INC), please discuss this possibility and make specific arrangements with your professor. Keep in mind that an INC is a temporary grade and should be resolved ASAP. All INCs must be completed within 1 calendar year (so an INC in Fall 2021 must be resolved before the end of Fall 2022). Please note that QC is now enforcing the policy for grad students that any INCs not resolved within 1 year will be converted to failing grades (FIN).
If you're planning to take Spring 2022 and/or Summer 2022 courses and haven't yet registered, please do so ASAP via CUNYfirst. (Courses that are under-enrolled may be canceled by the College administration.) I've attached the spring and summer course descriptions again here. Please note that we've had a change of instructor for ENGL 701, which will now be taught by Prof. Duncan Faherty—MA students who haven't yet taken 701 should do so ASAP.
A reminder that, for anyone planning to take ENGL 791 (thesis essay) or ENGL 795 (independent study) in Spring 2022, the sign-up forms and proposals are due by email to MAEnglish@qc.cuny.edu by January 5, 2022, at the latest. Please email us for more info or to get a copy of either sign-up form. (Students planning to take ENGL 791 in the spring should've already been in touch—please email ASAP if you haven't already. If you already emailed, we'll follow up with you soon.)
Finally, heartfelt congratulations to all of you who are finishing up your MA requirements and graduating this semester! You should be incredibly proud of yourselves for all you've accomplished. We invite you back in Spring 2022 to participate in our annual MA conference and submit for the annual Nancy Comley Prize, as well as to take part in our annual English Department graduation ceremony in early June. Please stay on the MA listserv through the spring in order to get announcements about these upcoming activities.
