PART 4: USEFUL INFORMATION, 4.3 - 4.4

4.3 Repeat Policy

Students may repeat courses taken during their first 45 hours of college work (including transfer credits) in which they earned a D, F, or X grade. Only the last grade will be counted in calculating the G.P.A. To count under this provision, repeats must be undertaken no later than the quarter in which the first 60 credit hours are earned. Students repeating courses taken after the 45 hours will have both grades averaged into their G.P.A. Students must note repeats on their registration forms by placing a capital R in the box marked “Type of Registration.”

For those students using Wings Express to register and repeat courses, they must follow the online directions carefully.

For those students using Raider Express (telephone) to register and repeat courses, it is important that they carefully follow the voice prompts and enter the appropriate action codes. This information, along with specific instructions, is listed in the quarterly class schedule.

If a student has repeated a course and it is not so identified on the transcript, notify the L.A. Advising Office so that the error can be corrected.

4.4 The Drop Date

It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of important drop dates. Drop dates are identified in both the paper and online course schedules.

Beginning with Fall Quarter 2004, for all students (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, unclassified, and graduate students) the drop date occurs at the end of the seventh week of classes.

For those students who have earned less than 45 credit hours (freshmen) the drop date occurs at the end of the eighth week of classes.

Faculty members will schedule examinations, papers, or other components of the grade for each undergraduate course in a manner that will give students feedback and allow them to make informed judgments about their progress prior to the end of the fifth week of each quarter. In some advanced undergraduate courses, if a faculty member feels that it is not feasible to comply with this requirement, he or she must include a statement to that effect on the course syllabus. This must have the prior approval of the department chair.
