Playoffs for the Scrabble Olympics are part of the Modern Languages Festival, held today.

All the players are international students who speak English as their second language.

Friday, Nov. 13, is the last day to drop classes for the 16-week fall semester.

Some students may find themselves struggling to finish all their courses due to emergencies or busy schedules.

Others may have fallen too far behind on their work to be able to catch up before the end of the semester.

Whatever the reason, there are several important factors to consider before withdrawing.

One of the biggest factors may be the student’s financial aid.
