Section 8-A603. WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSES

 

603.1Except as provided in §603.2, a student may withdraw from a course or courses without penalty during the add/drop period established by the Dean.

 

603.2A student in the full-time program must maintain a minimum course load of ten (10) credit hours throughout the semester.  A student in the part-time program must maintain a minimum course load of eight (8) credit hours throughout the semester.  During the add/drop period, a student’s add/drop course changes may not result in a course load of less than the minimum course load requirement set forth in this subsection.  Exceptions to this rule may be approved by the Dean or the Dean’s designee in extraordinary circumstances.

 

603.3During the add/drop period, a student may not withdraw from a required course, a limited enrollment course, a clinic, or an internship without the written permission of the Dean or the Dean’s designee. Prior to approving the withdrawal of a student from a clinic, the Dean or the Dean’s designee shall consult with the director of the clinic.

 

603.4After the add/drop period, a student may not withdraw from a required course, a limited enrollment course, a clinic, or an internship.

 

603.5If a student withdraws from a course after the add/drop period, but before the end of the last day of regularly scheduled classes for the semester, a grade of Withdraw (“W”) shall be entered for the course.  This grade shall not be included in the computation of the student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA) or semester grade point average (SGPA).  For the first semester of the year, the provisions of this subsection are modified by §605.3.
