ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND POLICIES 53
A normal course load for a student
enrolled in a 51/2 week summer session is
6 semester hours. The maximum amount
of credit a student may earn in a summer
is 14 semester hours, not including credit
earned during the May term. These 14
semester hours may be distributed over
the two summer terms as deemed advisable
by the student and approved by
his/her advisor so long as the load for a
single 51/2 week summer term does not
exceed a maximum of 8 semester hours.
This policy applies to both day and
evening students and includes all course
work, whether correspondence, extension,
or residence. It is strongly recommended
that students who are working either fulltime
or part-time register only for the number
of hours they can reasonably expect
to complete successfully.
Any exceptions to this policy on maximum
student course load must have prior
written approval of the dean of the appropriate
school or college or of the Vice
President for Academic Affairs.
Audit of Academic Work
An auditor is an observer, not a participant,
and is entitled to sit in a class and
benefit from the instruction which is offered
but not to participate in laboratory, field
work, performances, and similar activities.
An auditor is not entitled to have work
evaluated by the instructor and receives
no credit for enrollment as an auditor. Individuals
who wish to participate fully and
engage in all instructional activities must
register for credit and pay full tuition. Permission
to register as an auditor may be
granted by the department head for appropriate
courses when space is available.
Advanced Registration
Students may advance register for
classes during the Advance Registration
period indicated in the schedule of classes.
Students may make changes to their
advance registration schedules with a
Permit to Change Advance Registration
Schedule Form secured from the Office
of the Registrar. This form must have proper
signatures and be returned to the Office
of the Registrar prior to Registration Day.Post-Registration Changes in Courses
If it becomes necessary to make changes
in the course of study after registration
has been completed, the student secures
from the Office of the Registrar a Change
of Schedule Form. Necessary approvals
must be secured and the form returned to
the Office of the Registrar prior to the end
of the registration period.
A student may drop a course within the
first five weeks of a long semester or the
first seven class days of a summer session
with a "W" as the recorded grade.
After this time, a student may officially
drop a course for just cause with a
recorded grade of "WP" (Withdrew Passing
) or "WF" (Withdrew Failing) according
to an estimate of the instructor in the
course.
Note: No classes may be dropped after
the last date for withdrawal specified
in the academic calendar.
Students may not change from credit to
audit or non-credit (or vice versa) after
the late date to register.
A fee is charged for any student-initiated
drop after registration.
Class Attendance
Students, whether present or absent,
are responsible for all material presented
in or assigned for courses, and will be
held accountable for such material in the
determination of course grades. Regular
and punctual attendance, therefore, is essential
to success in a course and is
expected of all students.
Accordingly, absence from more than
twenty-five percent of the class meetings
and/or laboratory sessions scheduled for
a course is regarded as excessive, and a
student may be dropped from the course
on that basis. Furthermore, two weeks of
consecutive absences from scheduled
class meetings and/or laboratory sessions
may be taken as evidence that the student
does not intend to complete the
course, and the student may be dropped
from the course on that basis. A grade of
W, WP, or WF will be assigned as deemed
appropriate by the professor.
Students may be required to make up
any class work and/or assignments missed
due to absence. Since absences areI I I
