We need a TWD towards the end of the fourth quarter, (a week or so before the end), when grades are due. If not, then grades shouldn’t be due until the actual end of the quarter. In the case above that would be June 13 or 14. With final grades in addition to quarter grades, there are twice as many to complete and no TWD in which to do so.
