The Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) has indicated that they will continue to pay benefits regardless of the fact that the program has changed from resident training to online training. Also, students will continue to receive the same monthly housing allowance payments that they received for resident training until January 1, 2021, or until the school resumes normal operations of resident training. VA is working to immediately implement the new changes to address current and future school terms to ensure students continue to receive their education benefits. There is no action needed on the part of the student.

The last day of class for the semester remains April 28th. Classes are being conducted through online and remote collaboration from March 23 through April.

 Registration for fall 2020 will be delayed by one week to allow students and advisors more time for advising.  The registration dates will be as follows:

• April 14th – Registration window for rising seniors opens at 5:00pm
• April 20th – Registration window for rising juniors opens at 5:00pm
• April 23rd – Registration window for rising sophomores opens at 5:00pm

Note: Any student planning to participate in study away this fall will be allowed to register for fall 2020 on-campus courses during their normal registration window.  A decision will be made soon as to the status of fall study away and any student that registers for on-campus courses will have those courses dropped at a later date and registered for a study away placeholder course.

The last day to withdraw from a class and receive a W has moved from March 27 to April 28.

Students should complete the Course Withdrawal Request form, which is fillable online.  The form should be emailed to the instructor of the course, as well as the student’s advisor for approval.  Due to the current circumstances, email approvals are accepted in lieu of signatures.

The Pass-No/pass option has been extended for graduating Seniors through May 18.  Students should complete the Pass/No Pass request form and submit for approval.

Degrees for May 2020 were conferred by Dr. Davis on Saturday, May 9^th.  You will not see your degree posted to your transcript until May 21^st.  This delay is due to the extension of the Pass/No Pass deadline for graduating students and will ensure the most accurate honor and GPA is reflected on the transcript.  If you are in need of a degree verification for employment purposes, you may request one by completing a Degree Verification  form and returning to enroll@furman.edu.

CLP events have been  suspended through June 3.  All enrolled students, not graduating in May, have been credited with 4 CLP credits for the spring term. For graduating seniors, CLPs will be awarded once we’ve confirmed that they have completed all other graduation requirements (GERs + major requirements).  An amount needed to bring the total to 32 will be awarded to seniors graduating in May.

Students should check with the respective department first to determine if there are specific requirements or processes for that major.  For most majors, students should complete the Field of Study Declaration form, which is fillable online. The form should be emailed to the Department Chair of the major for approval. The Chair will forward to Enrollment Services via email. Due to the current circumstances, email approvals are accepted in lieu of signatures.

Student employees that miss regularly scheduled work shifts will not be paid for hours that are not worked.

Some student employment positions provide work that can be done remotely. This is only available to students whose supervisors are willing to oversee and approve their remote work. Please contact your supervisor to discuss.

Students with a Federal Work Study award and a position with regularly scheduled shifts will receive a lump sum payment for estimated hours lost. This payment will be made by EFT or check on April 2.
