Email Body The main body of the email, including all replied and forwarded text and headers Dear Students, Thank you again for your patience with the new two-stage pre-registration process. Initial course matches are now visible in Banner Self-Service and Courses@Brown. You can view your course matches by logging into Courses@Brown (https://cab.brown.edu) and refreshing your Primary Cart (CTRL-R on a PC, Command-R on a Mac). Depending on the course preferences you shared last week, you may have been registered for up to three initial matches. Please note that we were only able to register you for courses in which you meet all prerequisites and included all required course components (e.g., conferences, labs, and sections), and we only attempted to match you in this first-stage to courses with high demand. Specifically, we prioritized registration for courses in which initial student interest exceeded course capacity, because you will be able to register for other courses (including enrollment-limited courses with capacity) during the add/drop period. Therefore, if you were not registered for a specific course, please check CAB to see if seats are available. This is still the case for the vast majority of courses, and this is the most common reason why students were not matched for their initial preferences. The add/drop period will begin tomorrow, August 17, at 12pm EDT using our traditional staggered approach as outlined in the Academic Calendar). Please note that we have doubled the staggering period between each class year, and shifted the start time to Noon Eastern, in an attempt to help minimize stress and improve accessibility across multiple time zones. Graduate Students and Senior Undergraduates will be able to add and drop courses beginning 12pm EDT tomorrow, followed by Juniors at 12pm EDT on Wednesday, August 19, and Sophomores at 12pm EDT on Friday, August 21. First-Year undergraduates will be able to add and drop courses after meeting with their academic advisors and Meiklejohn peer advisors in early September. If you are a first-year undergraduate not initially matched for a course, or not matched for your top preference, please know that many courses are still open and will be available to you. After the add/drop period begins for each class year, it will remain open until the end of the Shopping Period on Tuesday, September 22. Thank you again for your continued patience, and thank you to all the students, staff, and faculty whose ideas and efforts allowed us to implement this new system so quickly. We understand how challenging and frustrating pre-registration can be, and are committed to making this process better. If you have any suggestions about the preregistration process or feedback about your initial course matches, please use this Google Form. Sincerely, Rashid Zia Dean of the College Andrew G.

Email Body The main body of the email, including all replied and forwarded text and headers Dear Students, We know that this is a challenging time with many questions about the fall semester and year ahead, and we are writing to share updates regarding preregistration for fall courses. The University is engaged in comprehensive planning, informed by expert public health guidance, for the upcoming academic year. With the health and wellness of our community as the leading priority, the work of the Healthy Fall 2020 Task Force is well underway, and President Paxson has shared with the campus that she will make a decision regarding on-campus operations for the 2020-21 academic year no later than July 15. Given the timeline for the University’s announcement and the three academic instruction scenarios under consideration, fall preregistration will be postponed until early August. In all three scenarios under consideration, the Office of the University Registrar must update Courses@Brown to facilitate preregistration. To begin this system update, current information about Academic Year 2020-21 courses will be cleared on Tuesday, June 16, and information will be reposted to Courses@Brown after the University has announced its decision for the coming academic year. Prior to June 16, you will receive an email with the contents of your Primary Cart. You will need to rebuild your Primary Cart, including any override requests previously approved, when the system is reset. We will share additional information with you in the time leading up to August preregistration. To accommodate the needs of our expansive global community, we will be making changes to the preregistration system to improve this process for all students. We value your advice and feedback, and invite you to share any ideas or suggestions via this Google Form. Thank you all for your patience. Sincerely, Andrew G.

Title A name given to the resource University Communication Description An account of the resource Mass communication sent out by Brown Email A resource containing textual messages and binary attachments sent electronically from one person to another or one person to many people. Email Body The main body of the email, including all replied and forwarded text and headers Dear Students, Staff and Faculty, Over the past two weeks, we have heard from many of you with suggestions for supporting students and instructors through this difficult and unprecedented moment. We have been inspired by instructors who have already transformed their courses into remote learning communities, and moved by students helping teach their instructors and peers about resources that will enable us to remain connected as a teaching and learning community in the days ahead. After extensive discussion, we are writing to share a comprehensive set of Temporary Academic Policies for the College and Graduate School to help support our transition to remote teaching and learning, which begins with the resumption of the spring semester on March 30. These policies have been developed in consultation with students, staff, faculty and administrators, and we are thankful to all who contributed their ideas and time to this important effort. We are especially grateful to the Faculty Executive Committee as well as members of the College Curriculum Council, Graduate Council, and Undergraduate Council of Students, who spent hours reviewing these policies and providing their feedback over the past few days. We strongly encourage all instructors and students to carefully review the Temporary Academic Policies for Spring 2020 now posted on the Teaching & Learning section of Brown’s COVID-19 website. The policies include detailed information regarding: ● guidance to prioritize asynchronous instruction that enables student access at any time; ● requirements to hold any synchronous class meetings during scheduled class times and to record synchronous sessions for equity and accessibility; ● guidance on final examinations and alternative assessments; ● guidelines for holding remote dissertation and thesis defenses; ● maintenance of important deadlines for degree clearance and graduation; ● opportunities for both instructor and student changes to grade options; and ● postponement of fall pre-registration and concentration declaration deadlines These policies are intended to honor both the spirit and letter of Brown’s distinctive approach to higher education. Wherever possible, our goal continues to be to provide both students and instructors with the flexibility and structure to make informed choices, because we have confidence in your ability to work together to support shared learning. Our guiding principles remain three-fold: (1) to empower instructors to make adjustments to course plans to help students meet their course's key learning goals; (2) to reaffirm and support Brown’s commitment to full inclusion for all students, especially considering the varying access to technology and experience with remote learning among students and instructors; and (3) to promote patience and generosity during this unprecedented moment, which has become a learning opportunity for all learners and teachers. For instructors, these policies mean you will have an opportunity to revise your course plans, petition to shift to mandatory S/NC grading in exceptional circumstances, and reconsider your final examinations. We also ask that you share updated syllabi by April 3, record online class meetings, and continue to hold remote office hours. For students, this means that you will be able to reconsider your course grade options in mid-April, postpone concentration declaration, and pre-register in June – and that we will support you in finishing your coursework, dissertations and theses on time this semester. Finally, as a reminder to all, please note that these temporary policies are supplemental to all other applicable University policies, including the Academic Code and Code of Student Conduct that remain in effect during this period of remote learning. We thank the entire Brown community for your patience as we have developed these policies. As remote instruction begins, we encourage you to take advantage of the many Teaching and Learning Resources available to both students and instructors. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly at college@brown.edu and graduate_school@brown.edu. We and our colleagues across the University are here to support you as we all embark on this new experience of fully remote education at Brown. Sincerely, Andrew G.
