What Are My Grading Options For College-level Classes? When you register for a college-level class, you can choose between two grading options: 1) Letter grade (A, B, C, D or F) or 2) Pass/No Pass (P/NP). The default option is automatically set for you to receive a letter grade for all of your classes. You can change your grading option in MyLane any time during the first 8 weeks of the term by clicking on the My Enrollment tab and then Change Class Options in the upper left. The deadline to change your grading option to P/NP is November 16 (Friday of Week 8) at 11:59 pm. The only reason you should change your grade to P/NP is if you are sure you won’t pass the class and you want to protect your GPA because an NP does not affect your GPA. Make sure to meet with an advisor before you change your grade to P/NP and verify that it can count towards your degree. Never drop a class if it means you would drop below 12 credits because then you will be out of status!

Traveling over the break? Don't forget to come in to fill out a Leave Request Form and get your I-20 signed before you go. Just fill out the Leave Request Form and drop it off with your I-20 in 11/235 and we'll have it ready for you to pick up the next day. http://www2.lanecc.edu/sites/default/files/international/leave_request_form.pdf If you are leaving Lane at the end of the term because you are graduating, transferring schools or returning home, then please fill out the Leave Request Form and come see an International Advisor for a quick exit interview. We will help you with any paperwork you may have and need to know that you are not returning so we can report your I-20 status correctly. Also, if you are planning on traveling to Canada during the break between fall and winter terms, be sure to check to see if you need a special visa for Canada. The applications for visitor's visas to Canada now takes 6 weeks to process and you have to apply by mail. Here is a website with visa requirements and application information: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/seattle/visas/apply-how_a_demande-comment.aspx? lang=eng&view=d For further questions, come see Colby Sheldon in the IP office.
Every Friday Noon @ Building 11, Room 208
