Adding a Course: A student may change his/her registration by adding a course through the last day to add, as published in the academic calendar (i.e. Schedule Adjustment
Week)
Auditing a Course: Registration (including tuition charges) for courses to be audited is the same as for courses to be taken for credit.
Dropping a Course: A student may change his registration by dropping a course prior to or on the 10-percent (subject to change) date of the semester/term.
Withdrawal Policy: Students who withdraw or who are withdrawn for any reason, including attendance policy violations, on or before the 60% point are assigned a grade of W.
Students who withdraw or who are withdrawn after the 60% point will be awarded a grade of WP or WF.
Graduation: Graduation exercises are held at the end of the fall and spring semesters for all students who have completed degree or diploma requirements since the last
graduation. Prospective graduates must request a graduation clearance by submitting an "Application for Graduation" form to the Registration and Student Records Services
Division. The deadline for submitting this application is the last day of registration of the term in which the student will complete the requirements for the degree, diploma, or
certificate. Potential Summer graduates who will enroll in their final coursework are allowed to participate in the May graduation ceremony.
