IMPORTANT NOTE: Grades ready as of 10/19/2008.

Introductory Information: Many of the pages that you will need to print are in "pdf" (portable document format--indicated by an asterisk*) and will need the Adobe Acrobat "Reader" installed on your computer to enable viewing and printing. Most computers on campus have the "Reader" already installed, so when you click on the shortcut, the file opens and is ready to view and print. If you are elsewhere and need the "Reader", its free at this location, www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html. Install it and you will be ready to view and print. When you finish viewing and/or printing, use the back button on your browser to return to the source page.

Grades (Ready)

Fall Semester 2008 - Some basic info

Drop: During open registration students may drop one or more courses for 100% refund and the record of the class will not show on their transcript. Beginning the day after registration closes, students may no longer drop a course. Students now must "withdraw" to officially stop taking a course.

Partial withdrawal: A partial withdrawal means withdrawing from one or more courses but NOT the entire schedule. A "W" appears on the transcript for each course withdrawn. A "W" does not affect grade point average.

Complete withdrawal: A complete withdraw is withdrawing from all courses for the rest of the term. A "W" appears on the transcript for each course withdrawn. A "W" does not affect grade point average.

Exception: If a class does not meet for the first time until AFTER the last day to register then the student has a 24-hour grace period to drop the course for a full 100% refund. After that, a student must withdraw to officially stop taking the course.

Caution: Depending on the dates, students may receive a partial refund of tuition, however, even if they haven't paid anything they are still financially responsible for their tuition.
