What is the Grace Period?

• The GP is the FIRST 14 DAYS a student is active in the course.

• The grace period is a time where students and parents can decide if this is the right path for their education.

• Student will receive a “W” if withdrawn in the first 14 days which does not affect their grade

• If you and the parent are communicating and the student needs an additional week, you may put in a W after the “official grace period” has ended. 

Building Relationships in the Grace Period

• The most important thing you can do during the grace period is call your students and start building those relationships!

• Set expectations! It is very important that students submit work each week during the course, which should be encouraged during the grace period.

• Send students a copy of our pace charts that are available on the welcome email, the announcements page, and in the new student welcome packet. 

• The weekly grace period calls are a wonderful time to share resources and make sure students have what they need to be successful in the course.
