After the Free Drop/Add Period (after January 7)
(No Tuition rebates)
When you withdraw from a course after the Free Drop/Add Period,
a grade of "W" is posted to your academic record and tuition is charged and not
refundable. In addition, a $25 fee is charged for a change of
registration at this time (withdrawal or change in Grading status).
Students wishing to add courses after
January 7 must obtain permission from the Dean of their college.
January 22 is the last day to withdraw from courses
without academic penalty. After this date the permission
of the Assistant Dean is required for all registration changes.
course withdrawals will be permitted only for unusual circumstances beyond a
student's control and not for reasons of academic performance.
Such approval does not alleviate the financial obligation
incurred by a late withdrawal.
It is recommended that all students consult with their advisors prior to
registering. Students with undeclared majors (University Studies) can go to the University
Advisement Center in 102 Elliot Hall. Declared matriculated students
should contact their advisors for academic counseling. All students may
talk with faculty of any department - see the department secretary for
information. You may switch advisors. If you are not pleased with the one
assigned to you, see the departmental office.
Academic advisement and career exploration are provided for Continuing
Education students at all of the
Registration Locations listed above, except for
the Student Services Building.
Students wishing to attend class but not do all the required
work or receive credit may register as "auditors". Tuition
and registration are the same for auditor status as for registration
for credit. A change of grade status after the Free Drop Add period
(after January 7) incurs a $25 registration change fee.
Pass-Fail Grade Options
Undergraduate students are permitted to take one free "elective" course
on a pass/fail basis each semester. Continuing Education students can
do so without limitation (except as they may one day want to apply
those credits to a degree. The total credits taken for a Pass/Fail
grade may not exceed 24 in a baccalaureate degree program. A student
registered for a course which is offered pass/fail only may still take
another course on a pass/fail basis as a "free elective." Students are
encouraged to consult with their advisors in the selection of courses
to be taken under this option, as the use of free electives varies from
college to college.
A student may not add a course with a pass/fail
option
beyond the course load permitted for his classification. Changes in the
pass/fail grade status will be handled as changes in
registration, and a student will be permitted to change pass/fail status one
time only.
The instructor will give a regular grade for the student who has
selected the pass/fail option. Grades between A and D- will be
recorded on the report of grades and on the official transcript
as a P. An F will be recorded as an F. A grade of F will count in
the cumulative index; a P will not. A change of grade status after the
Free Drop Add period (after January 7) incurs a $25 registration change
fee.
Most Winter courses are regular catalogued ones which are also
offered during other semesters. Students should refer to the
current catalogs for additional details on course content and
prerequisites, if any. The University reserves the right to
withdraw any course, to limit enrollment, to change instructors, to
shift the location of a class or to change the times listed.
Courses numbered "_67" are Experimental Courses. Course
descriptions appear in the
Supplemental Course Descriptions
section of this website.
Supervised study is a one-to-one faculty/student collaboration on a
special problem, independent study, research, thesis or dissertation.
Students interested in supervised study should discuss their proposed
project with a faculty sponsor and then document the content according to
department policy. The student must also register for the appropriate
course.
Courses with "000" section numbers. You must obtain faculty
permission for all "000" section courses before registering. When
registering for a section-000 course, the student must also specify the
faculty member who has agreed to supervise the student's work, and if it
is a variable-credit course, then the number of credits on which they have
agreed.
If a course meeting time is not listed, the student will be
responsible for contacting the instructor or department to arrange class
meeting times and locations.
Your Winter course schedule will be constantly available in UDSIS. Each time you
log on to UDSIS registration functions, your actual schedule will be
displayed to you, and each time you make a change, its effect will be
shown in an updated schedule in real-time. No paper schedules will be
mailed.
UDSIS will be available for grade reporting for the Winter Session
beginning February 10. If you need written documentation of your grades,
