Missing first week of class
Hi everyone, hoping to get some insights! As an international student, I started my application a bit late, and my visa interview was yesterday and it just got approved today. My next concern is that my current job requires the standard 30-day resignation notice period here in my home country. I held off on resigning earlier because I didn't want to risk losing my job while my visa was still uncertain.
Realistically, this means I'd miss about a week of classes and start in the 3rd week of September instead. Would that set me back? Should I reach out to SCAD to ask about joining remotely for that first week (if thats even possible) or is there another way to handle a late start? I'm also on a scholarship, so I really want to make sure this doesn't affect my grades or standing. Any advice would help thank you!!
Additional note is that im incoming student taking up MA in GDVX :)
