Drop/Add Policy
Changes in the course schedule made after the beginning of a
course must be made through the Office of the Registrar. Course
drop/add forms are available on the registrar’s website. The form
must be signed by the student and submitted to the Office of the
Registrar in person, by email, or by fax. No courses may be added
after the first class without the additional approval of the appointed
director of the particular adult program and the approval of the
faculty member teaching the course. The effective date of the
course change is the date the registrar receives the completed
form.
When adding a class, the student is required to make up
any work missed because of late entrance, assuming that the
instructor is willing to allow late entrance into his/her course.
Failure to properly drop a class will result in a grade of “Z.”

Continuation As an Active Student
Adult students maintain active status within their degree
program as long as they continue registering for courses and do
not exceed their program completion time limit.
Adult students who fail to take courses or otherwise choose not
to pursue their adult education (for example, as a transient student
at another college/university) for a period exceeding two calendar
years will automatically be retired from the active files of the Office
of the Registrar and will be regarded as withdrawn. An application
for readmission will be required to reactivate the student’s records.
Withdrawal Policy
The following procedure must be followed to properly withdraw
completely from the University:
1. Notify the Office of the Registrar in person or by telephone
of intent to withdraw, and complete a withdraw interview
with a representative of the Office of the Registrar.
2. Request a refund for any credit balance on your account
from the Cashiers Office after the official withdraw process
has been completed, and all appropriate adjustments to the
students registration has been completed.
Student transcripts will be marked with the appropriate grade
once withdrawal is complete in accordance with established
University policy.
