Graduate students in the
College of Management
are eligible for a one-time
recalculation.
INCOMPLETE
A grade of “I” is given only
under extraordinary circumstances
for course work that
has been of satisfactory quality
When intending to drop a
course or courses or withdraw
from courses, it is the student’s
responsibility to notify the
Office of the Registrar in writand,
in the judgment of the
instructor and the instructor’s
dean, adequate to justify a reasonable
extension of time. It is
assigned only in cases in
which the student has completed
satisfactorily the major portion
of the course requirements.
Students receiving an
“I” may not attend the class
during a succeeding semester,
unless they register for the
class. Instructors must change
an “I” to a grade other than
“W” no later that one calendar
year following the end of the
semester. After one year, if
course requirements are not
met, the “I” will be converted
to “F.”
GRADE CHANGES
The electronic entry of grades
submitted by instructors at the
end of each semester is the
official record of grades.
Grade changes, when necessary,
are done by the instructor
with approval of the department
chairman and dean. The
registrar may determine that
the provost’s approval is also
required in exceptional or
unusual circumstances.
Any disputes concerning
grades must be resolved within
one semester after the course
was completed.
AUDITING CLASSES
Anyone wishing to audit a
course must submit an audit
request form along with the
regular registration forms.
These forms are available in
the Office of the Registrar. No
credit is granted for courses
that are audited. Starting with
the first day of classes, a student
may not change enrollment
status from audit to credit
or from credit to audit. Full
tuition will be charged and the
tuition credit policy applies if
the student withdraws.
WITHDRAWAL
FROM CLASSES
ing or by dropping courses
online through my.ltu.edu
BannerWeb. Drop/Add forms
can be obtained from the
Office of the Registrar or
online. The date of the drop or
withdrawal will be the date
that the Office of the Registrar
receives the completed
Drop/Add form from the student
or the date that the student
drops the course(s) on
BannerWeb.
Students who are unable to
drop or withdraw from courses
in person or with my.ltu.edu
BannerWeb may do so by
mailing or faxing a written
notice to the Office of the
Registrar that includes their
student ID number and signature.
Students may also deposit
forms in the Drop Box, located
outside of the Student Service
Center. To protect students’
right to privacy, drops and
withdrawals may not be conducted
by telephone or e-mail.
Within certain time limits,
full tuition adjustments may be
made to the students’ financial
account. Be aware that there
are times when students
receive no tuition credit/refund
for dropped courses. Official
Drop/Add dates for each
semester are available online
on BannerWeb my.ltu.edu and
the Lawrence Tech website. It
is the student’s responsibility
to know these dates and adhere
to them.
It is important to note that
exceptions to University policy
are made only in rare circumstances,
such as a debilitating
illness. Requests made because
of difficult work schedules or
class schedules will not be
considered.
