This e-mail is being sent as a courtesy reminder, and is a highlight of important information in the Fall 2020 Academic Calendar:

https://registrar.rice.edu/calendars/Fall-Semester-2020

As we wrap up the last week of the Fall 2020 semester, and before we enter the formal Study Days and Final Examination period, instructors are encouraged to re-read the FACULTY GRADING GUIDELINES, as published in the General Announcements, at:

https://ga.rice.edu/faculty/grading-guidelines/

----------------------------------------------------------

As noted in the Academic Calendar: next Saturday thru Tuesday, December 5th-8th are student "Study Days". These four days precede the Final Exam period which begins Wednesday, December 9th. Of particular note, please be reminded that "no examinations or course assignments may be due between the last day of classes and the first day of the final examination period.”
