				<description>Sept 17, 2009 - Important Dates - Reporting Periods and<br />Course Drop DeadlineThis year, as with last year, CDLI has<br />established specific reporting periods based on an analysis of what F2F schools<br />are doing. Reports will be distributed to schools via the DropBox in the<br />Portal, something most m-team members will be familiar with. Once they are<br />placed in the dropbox, they will stay there for 2 weeks to give schools an<br />opportunity to download these reports. <br /><br />Progress Reports - First Term will be available on Friday, November 13,<br />2009.Midterm Reports&amp;nbsp; will be available<br />on Monday, February 8, 2010.Progress Reports - Second Term will be available on<br />Friday, April 23, 2010.<br /><br />These dates refer to CDLI courses which run all year. For the lone&amp;nbsp; semesterized course (Math 3103 in slot E),<br />there will be two progress reports provided on November 13th and December 11th,<br />2009.<br /><br />One more important date to remember is the Course Drop Deadline date which is<br />set for Friday, October 16, 2009. Like most schools in the province we are<br />setting this date for mid-October which reflects our view that by this time<br />students should be settled into courses and working to the best of their<br />abilities.<br /><br />CDLI no longer uses a drop form, however, the CDLI Student ADD form will still<br />be used to accommodate students who may change schools during the year and may<br />need to pick up online courses. <br /><br />Thank you for your cooperation.<br /><br />&amp;nbsp;<br /><br /></description>
