Academic Record Change
Late Add:
A late add may be
pursued only if a student was unable to add a course by the add/drop
deadline due to extraordinary circumstances. A student must obtain a
letter of support from the instructor to submit with the petition.
If the petition for a late add is approved, the student must be
prepared to pay the tuition fees at the time of approval.
Late Drop: If approved, a late
drop will result in a full refund of tuition fees and the complete
removal of the course from the student's academic record. Because
there is a refund of tuition involved, a late drop requires the
student to be involved in a truly extraordinary situation. A common
reason to pursue a late drop is if there was a death of an immediate
family member. A late drop must be filed within six (6) months of the end
of the semester involved. A late drop is usually for all classes.
Late Withdrawal: If approved, a late
withdrawal does not refund tuition fees. Also, a grade of "Withdraw
Passing" (WP) or "Withdraw Failing" (WF) will be assigned by the
instructor according to the student's academic performance. A "WP"
has no effect on the GPA and a "WF" is calculated as a failing grade
in the GPA.
Medical Withdrawal: This is
requested when the student is suffering from a medical condition that
prevents the completion of the semester. If a student is approved
for medical withdrawal, a refund of tuition fees is also approved.
The student receives a "WM" which indicates on the academic record
the student was withdrawn from classes due to medical reasons. If
the student was aware of the medical condition at the time of
registration, the petition will be denied. Medical withdrawals are
for all courses the students are registered in for the semester. A
medical withdrawal must be filed within six (6) months of the end of
the semester involved.
