six or more hours of resident credit during the summer session are
classified as full-time.
A candidate for graduation may request to be classified as a fulltime
student in the semester or summer session during which he
or she is scheduled to complete the requirements for a degree, even
though the number of hours scheduled is less than that ordinarily
required for classification as a full-time student. A student thus classified
full-time is required to pay the fees appropriate to the full-time
classification.
Part-time Students
Students who do not qualify as full-time students as defined in the
paragraph above are part-time students. A part-time student is subject
to all University rules concerning registration, attendance, scholarship,
and conduct.
Auditors
Regularly enrolled students at UNO may be admitted to classes as
auditors by obtaining written permission from the chair of the department
in which the course is taught and the dean of the college in
which they are enrolled. Others must obtain official admission to the
University in addition to obtaining permission as indicated. The fee
for auditing a course is the same as for enrolling for credit. Auditing
fees are not refundable.
Auditors will not receive university credit, and will not be permitted
to take an advanced standing examination on audited work. Upon
certification by the faculty member in charge of the course that the
student did not actually attend, notation that the student audited the
course will be stricken from the record without right to a refund of
fees.
Students may not change from audit to credit after the last day to
add a course. With permission of their dean, they may change from
credit to audit within the first 15 class days of the semester (7 class
days in the summer).
Schedule Changes
Adding Courses for Credit
Courses may be added for credit only during the first week of
classes in the fall and spring semesters and the first three days of
classes in the summer session.
Dropping Courses
Courses dropped through the 14th class day will not be entered
on a student’s record. A grade of W will be entered for each course
dropped after the 14th class day through the end of the first 53 class
days. See the Summer Class Schedule Bulletin for summer session drop
dates. After that date a student may not drop a course. Exceptions
must be authorized by the student’s dean and will be granted only
under the most extenuating circumstances. Unsatisfactory academic
performance in itself is not an extenuating circumstance. See the University
Calendar for exact dates.
A student may be dropped, at the discretion of the dean of the
college, from any course in which the student is ineligible. A student
may also be dropped by the University from his or her classes if all
instructors report non-attendance.
Changing Sections
Section changes, if permitted, are subject to the same time limitations
as the adding of courses.
Attendance Regulations
Students are expected to attend all classes regularly and punctually.
Students in regular classes who are not present when attendance
is checked are considered absent. Students in on-line classes are
expected to participate in all work assigned by the instructor including
submission of homework, assignments, quizzes, discussion board
postings, and other assigned work. Students in on-line classes who do
not participate in accordance with the requirements of the course are
considered absent.
1. A student must attend all classes in any course for which he or
she is registered. A student enrolled in an on-line course must
participate in all required assignments for that course. All unexcused
absences in courses are counted against a student’s attendance
record.
2. Any student registered in a college may, at the discretion of the
dean, be placed on attendance probation. The dean is further
authorized to drop from the rolls of the University any student
who violates this attendance probation.
3. A student placed on academic probation is automatically placed
on attendance probation.
4. A student on academic or attendance probation is expected to
attend all classes and an absence from any class may be reported
to the appropriate administrator.
5. Each instructor shall report all cases of absence from class which,
in the opinion of the instructor, jeopardizes the student’s chances
of satisfactorily completing the course.
6. A student dropped from the University for violation of attendance
probation will not be eligible to re-enter the University
until the expiration of the next regular semester, at which time
he or she may be readmitted upon the approval of the dean.
University Closures
If the University must close due to unexpected circumstances, faculty
and students may have to make up missed class and laboratory
time. In some circumstances resulting in closure of the University, the
Provost will determine how classes will be made up. In other circumstances,
the methods for making up missed classes and laboratories
will be made up with extra assignments and readings, additional days
of class or laboratory, additional class time, or in other manners to be
determined.
Withdrawal from the University
Students may resign from the University by dropping all their
classes utilizing WebSTAR. If the resignation is recorded during the
first 14 class days of a regular semester, the courses will not be listed
on the student’s official record. If the resignation occurs after the 14th
class day, but no later than the 53rd class day, the grade of W will
be recorded in each course. See the Summer Class Schedule Bulletin
for summer session resignation dates. After that date a student may
not resign from the University. Exceptions must be authorized by the
student’s dean and will be granted only under the most extenuating
circumstances. Unsatisfactory academic performance in itself is not an
extenuating circumstance.
Final Examinations
Final examinations are required and shall be held at the end of
each semester/term or summer session in accordance with the schedule
issued by the Office of Academic Affairs. When final examinations
are inappropriate because of the nature of the course, exceptions to
this requirement may be made upon approval of the appropriate dean
and the Office of Academic Affairs.
Grade Reports
The University reports grades at mid-semester for all freshmen and
at the end of each semester for all students. Only the grades reported
at the end of the semester (final grades) are used in the computation
of the student’s grade-point average. Mid-semester grades are simply
