ACE Weekly Update -- March 27th, 2018
What's Coming Up: Week of March 26th-30th
REMINDERS:
New adult education classes begin on April 2nd (MW classes) or April 3rd (TR classes).
If you have not yet made a new adult education schedule for the upcoming session, you need to come tomorrow (Weds.) between 8:30AM-12PM or 5PM-8PM to make a schedule.
If you are in a class that you don't think you can pass, you should know that the withdrawal deadline is next Tuesday, April 3. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND all withdrawals be done by April 2nd to be safe. You must discuss this decision with your coach beforehand. *More information at bottom of email.*
Awesome Event of the Week: International Fair TOMORROW
The students and faculty of the Delgado ESL Department invite you to attend the International Fair and Fashion Show. The event will feature crafts, fashion and tastes from around the world. It will take place Wednesday, March 28 from 11 am until 1 pm in the Delgado Gymnasium in Building 11, City Park Campus. It is sponsored in part by Tulane University. This is seriously one of the coolest events on campus all year.

Plan ahead for this.
Friends and family welcome. A great chance to learn more about what you can expect in nursing school!
Just In Case....
No one likes to think about dropping a class, but sometimes it's the right choice. If you have a grade lower than a C in a class or if you don't think you can complete a class, we encourage you to seek advice from your coach and your instructor as soon as possible.
We encourage you to ask your instructor whether, based on the grades you've earned so far, it's possible for you to still earn a C or better in the class. If they say that it is, we encourage you to confirm with them exactly what you'd need to do to make that happen. If they say it's not possible, or if what they say you'd need to do doesn't seem doable to you, we'd recommend withdrawing from the course so that you would receive a "W" instead of a letter grade. This can be a tough choice, but your coach and you instructors are here for you.
The deadline to withdraw from a Spring semester course is Tuesday, April 3rd at 6PM. Some students are not able to withdraw online, so if you're planning to withdraw, we encourage you to do so ahead of the deadline, and speak to your coach before making a final decision.
