during the first two (2) weeks
of classes during the fall or

“Drop” on their Registration

Students who withdraw
from a course before the 13th
week of the fall or spring
semester but after the first two
weeks of classes will receive
the “W” grade.

After the last date to withdraw
for any semester, students
will not be permitted to
withdraw from the course
and will receive a grade as
determined by the instructor
(not a “W”).
All withdrawals or drops
must be initiated by student
action to assure that a “W”
will appear on the master
grade roster and subsequent
transcripts. Faculty may not
initiate withdrawal procedures
nor may they submit a “W” on
the electronic grade entry.
Drop and Withdrawal
schedules for each semester
may be obtained from the
Office of the Registrar and are
available on www.ltu.edu.
SCHEDULE OF CLASSES
Programs for regular students
are outlined in this
Undergraduate Catalog. Class
schedules giving the particular
days and the hours of the various
classes are made available
during registration for each
semester online at www.ltu.edu
and my.ltu.edu BannerWeb.
GRADE REPORTS
Grades are available at the
end of each semester online
through my.ltu.edu Banner-
Web. Report cards are mailed
only upon student request to
the Office of the Registrar. It is
the student’s responsibility to
seek their grades at the end of
each semester.
CHANGE OF CLASS SCHEDULE
Beginning the first day of
classes, students may change
their schedule by use of the
Drop/Add form or online via
my.ltu.edu, BannerWeb.
The student is responsible
for submitting Drop/Add
forms directly to the Office of
the Registrar and retaining the
validated student copy. Classes
must be added during the first
two weeks of classes.
All changes to the student’s
schedule are effective on the
date conducted via BannerWeb
or the date the Office of the
Registrar receives the form.
Students are not permitted to
attend courses without being
officially registered.
ATTENDANCE
Class attendance records of
students are kept by all members
of the faculty. The consequences
of absenteeism will be
determined by the instructor
and will reflect his/her policy
and judgment with respect to
the effect of attendance on the
student’s final grade.
PREREQUISITES
Students are responsible for
successfully completing prerequisite
courses listed in this
Catalog or in the my.ltu.edu
Online Catalog for all courses
in which they are registered. In
those exceptional circumstances
where a prerequisite
may be waived, the student
must complete the Prerequisite
Waiver Form and submit it to
the department head or dean of
the college offering the course.
If a prerequisite is waived, it is
for one semester only and does
not exempt the student from
taking the waived prerequisite
in the future.
Beginning the first day of
classes, students may change
their schedule using the
Drop/Add form or online
through my.ltu.edu BannerWeb.
A student who is determined
to have enrolled in a course
without required prerequisites
or an authorized waiver, may
be required to withdraw at
any time during the semester
and will forfeit tuition and
fees according to the normal
University tuition credit
policy.
MID-TERM STATUS
The University pays close
attention to the academic
progress of students through
their course work. An examination
of a student’s record
occurs during the midway
point of the semester. Students
having difficulty in courses are
encouraged to seek assistance
early from the faculty member
teaching the course or to take
advantage of the wide range of
tutorial and other assistance
available through the Dean of
Students.
