NO ONE AT NEWMAN BUT
the Graduate Education
Department uses Moodle
(Open Source Blackboard)?
This is because we have more classes than any other
program, and this allows us to more quickly manage
courses and assist you, the student!
That is why you should ONLY Contact Cindy Corn, our
Moodle Manager - do not contact the NU Help Desk
because they only know Blackboard!
You have a ONE WEEK deadline to DROP
(or add) an 8 week course after course start?
You have a TWO WEEK deadline to DROP
(or add) a 16 week course after class starts?
MISSING THIS DEADLINE MEANS:
you must ask Dr. Marx for an Exception Request to fill out so
she can argue your case before the monthly Graduate Council
for possible approval? Sometimes these are approved with
$100 fee to student, and sometimes they are not approved
MAKE SURE TO SEE IMPORTANT DEADLINE DATES IN MOODLE!
