63 withdraw from the University subsequent to that period will either receive a WP (withdrew while passing the course) or WF (withdrew failing) for the respective courses listed on their permanent record. However, in the event of an illness or other severe hardship beyond the student’s control, the student should submit, no later than the last day of classes, a written petition for permission to withdraw to the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. If permission is granted a grade of W will be recorded. Refunds of tuition and fees will be made to students who withdraw voluntarily according to the scale listed in the section entitled Financial Information.
Not Returning to the University A student who will not be returning to the University for the following semester is required to complete a Non-Returning Student Form in the office of the Registrar. Final transcripts will be provided for all students who do not have outstanding financial obligations to the University. All refunds of pre-registration and housing deposits will be made if the form has been completed at least three weeks prior to the first day of classes. For a resident student, all damage deposits will be refunded to the student after the form has been filed and the damage assessment for both individual rooms and corporate areas has been completed.
Change of Address
Attendance A student is expected to attend all scheduled class and laboratory periods for which he or she is enrolled. Individual course syllabi may state additional attendance requirements. If it is necessary for a student to be absent from classes, the student should advise the instructor before the absence. In all cases, it is the student’s responsibility to make up work missed. Extended absences due to illness or other compelling reasons should be reported by the student to the Office of Student Services, which will inform faculty of the student’s absence. Irregular class attendance may be reported, and the student may be asked to seek counseling or guidance in order to facilitate his or her adjustment to college life. If a student has stopped attending classes without approval from the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, the student may be required to leave the residence hall and/or withdraw from the University.
