Based on the last minute nature of this policy, we, the signers of this petition, will either abstain from enrolling in any MATH courses at UIC until the department returns to the original policy for the Spring 2014 semester, as this is what all students and professors were assuming was going to be upheld when partaking in their respective math courses, or support the students in doing so. We believe that implementing this policy on such short notice negatively impacts students' financial aid, scholarships, potential internship and job opportunities, class registration, moving forward through one's major curriculum, GPA's, graduation, and self-confidence as a student at UIC.

The emails I receive from students are heavy with anxiety over what this means for their future. I am pushing to get an actual meeting with the department heads even though they have been silent so far. We are exhausted but we are not going anywhere.

This is honestly so messed up. I worked my tail off all semester for nothing just to get screwed over by a policy change on the actual day of the final. Ridiculous.
BOYCOTT. Do not let them get away with this.
The math department has been a headache for years but this is a new low. Stop punishing students for departmental incompetence.
Wow. Last minute change right before finals is just predatory. Really glad I finished my math reqs already because this is nightmare fuel.
My gpa is ruined thanks to this. They cant just change the rules while we are sitting in the exam room taking the test. Total joke.

I was relying on a B in calc to keep my scholarship but now im failing. UIC needs to fix this immediately.
