credits, a 3.00 GPA. Veterans, athletes, and students receiving financial aid are required to take a minimum of 12 credits during the fall term and 12 in the spring semester to be eligible for the benefits accorded full-time students. Veterans may not count as part of their 12 credits a course taken on a pass-fail basis or a course repeated unless they are required by Lyon regulations to repeat it. Six credits is considered a full time load for summer session. Ten credits is the maximum load.
Student Registration Students can receive credit only in those courses for which they are properly registered. Students are also held responsible for every course for which they register unless they officially drop or withdraw from the course by the stated deadlines. A student who is registered for a course at the end of the registration period (final day to enroll for a course) is considered to have “attempted” the course. Registration is not complete or official until fees are paid or arrangements for payments have been made with the College Business Office. Validation of registration must be completed by the final day to enroll.

Ordinarily, permission to add courses will not be granted after the sixth day of classes of each term. A course dropped before the 11th day of clases will not appear on the student’s transcript. For each course dropped between the 11th day of classes and five class days after the release of mid-semesster grades, a grade of “W” will appear on the transcript. Under exceptional circumstances, and with the dean’s approval, a student may drop a course between the end of the five-day class drop period following the release of mid-semester grades and the last day of classes; in this case a grade of “WP” or “WF” will appear on the student’s transcript. A course may not be dropped once the final examination period has begun except in the case of extreme medical emergency and with permission from the Dean of the Faculty. In this case, a grade of “WP” or “WF” will be issued.
