REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT
Continuing students are required to register for courses each quarter by the scheduled registration deadline. The registration deadline is usually 1 (one) week before the beginning of the new quarter. A late fee of $25.00 is charged to those students who do not register by the posted registration deadline.
The University expects students to enroll in consecutive quarters. Students must notify the Registrar in writing if they do not plan to register for a quarter. Students are allowed official leave of absence status for three consecutive quarters without penalty. A student who does not register for the fourth consecutive quarter must apply for re-admission before continuing with studies. The student must be accepted for re-admission by the Admissions Committee and becomes subject to all academic and administrative policies, procedures and degree requirements in effect at the time of re-admission.
ADD OR DROP A COURSE
Students may drop a course during the first week of a quarter without penalty and have until the second week of the quarter to add a course. An add/drop form must be used to process all add/drops with the student’s name, student ID number, signature, and date. Neither written notes nor phone calls are acceptable for adding or dropping a course.
All add/drop forms are subject to the approval of the Associate Academic Dean for student’s language section, approval of the Financial Aid Officer (if applicable), being signed by the Registrar and processed through the Business Office.
For dropped courses, refunds are calculated from the date the Drop Form is delivered to the Business Office. Failure to officially drop a course will result in full tuition charges for the course and a failing (F) grade.
COURSE WITHDRAWAL
A student may withdraw from any course up until the ninth week of the quarter. Students who withdraw from a course must repeat that course in order to receive credit. Refunds for course withdrawals shall be made according to the University’s tuition refund policy.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAM
A student not formally withdrawn from the Program or fails to register for the quarter without filing a Leave of Absence form with the Registrar is considered withdrawn from the University.
TIME LIMIT FOR PROGRAM COMPLETION
The degree must be earned within 6 calendar years (72 months) from the first date of enrollment.
MINIMUM COMPLETION TIME
Students must be enrolled for a minimum of 2.5 academic years to complete the program.
MAXIMUM COMPLETION TIME
Students who fail to meet graduation requirements within eight (6) years of the date of their first admission must meet the requirements in effect at the time. Their graduation can no longer be based on requirements effective at the time of their entrance. Students readmitted to the University must meet the graduation requirements and all other policies in effect at the time of their readmission.
