Your Start date and your End of Enrollment date are 16 weeks apart. That's the length of a normal semester, and the time in which you are expected to complete this course.

Your Last Refund date is the last day you can withdraw from this course and receive a refund of the tuition.

Your first deadline is Week 5.  You must have completed your first essay and received a grade for it by then or I'll have to withdraw you from the course.  That means that you must have submitted and received my approval for your thesis and your first draft and have received a grade for the finished essay by week 5.

Your Last Withdrawal date is the last day you can withdraw from this course. If you have not completed the first two required essays in this class by your withdrawal date, I will have to withdraw you from the class.  

If you have not completed the course by your end-date, you may ask for an incomplete in the course if you have already completed half of the coursework by that date.  In this class you must have written and posted final copies of the three genre essays and have taken 1 exam to qualify for an incomplete.  If you have not done so, you are ineligible for an incomplete in the course.
