TD Notes and News – Week of 5-1
Head of College’s Pieces
Dear Red Lions,
Despite the rainy weather, we had a warm and festive farewell bbq for the McCormicks in the TD Dining Hall last week. I know they were extremely touched by the heartfelt sendoff and the thoughtful memory book put together by our Mott Woolley Council.
Many thanks to KC Mills, TD Operations Manager, for this great “photo of the week” capturing Sasha in on Friday’s TD Day celebration wearing our special TD day shirt in red and a tiara.
We will miss the McCormicks and Sasha around the courtyard!
Despite the cooler than expected temperatures this Sunday, we had a very nice ribbon cutting celebration for the new traffic crosswalk. As you can see from the picture below, the event brought together the Heads of College of TD & Silliman, Chief Ronnell Higgins, members of the Yale Traffic Safety Committee, and officials from the City of New Haven. We definitely have Ben Ackerman TD ‘16 to thank for the new crosswalk!
This Tuesday 5/2 is the TD senior dinner. All seniors should come to the TD house for the reception at 5:30pm. A class photo will be taken out in the courtyard at 6:15pm before heading into the dining hall for dinner at 6:30pm. We can’t wait to celebrate your time at Yale tomorrow night! All non-seniors should go to Commons for dinner. We do apologize for any inconvenience.

END-OF-TERM ACADEMIC POLICIES
The Reading Period. Term papers and term projects may be due as late as the last day of the final examination period. All other course assignments must be due by the end of the Reading Period. No final examination, including a take-home final examination, may be administered during the Reading Period (see http://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/reading-period-final-examination-period/ ).
Date of Administering Final Examinations. A final examination must be given at the time and place appointed. If an instructor sets an alternative date for a final examination, that alternative date must fall within the final examination period; the examination must also be given at the regularly-scheduled time; two distinct and different examinations must be offered; and no student may be required to obtain special permission to take the alternative exam. (http://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/reading-period-final-examination-period/ )
Take-Home Final Examinations. These must be due in the Final Examination Period. See http://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/reading-period-final-examination-period/ for other stipulations concerning the due date of take-home final examinations.
Work Incomplete at the End of Term and Postponement of Final Examinations. Only the residential college dean has authority to give permission to a student to submit work in a course after the end of term (that is, after the last day of the Final Examination Period for term papers and term projects; after the Reading Period for all other course assignments). Instructors do not have the authority to give permission to extend beyond the end of the term the deadline for submission of course work (http://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/completion-of-course-work/ ). In cases of incapacitating illness, family emergency, NCAA competition, or religious observance, the Residential College Dean may authorize postponement of a final examination. For other special situations in which the Residential College Dean may authorize the postponement of a final examination, please seehttp://catalog.yale.edu/ycps/academic-regulations/completion-of-course-work/ of the YCPS. Permission to postpone a final examination does not also carry authorization for a student to submit other work late in that course.
