A student, who has been suspended for academic reasons, generally may not
petition the dean of admission for readmission until one year has lapsed. The Admissions
Office must have the approval of the appropriate academic dean to readmit a student who has
been suspended.
REPEAT COURSES
With prior written authorization from the appropriate advisor and dean, a student
may repeat a course to improve the cumulative grade point average.
If a student has an F and repeats the course and receives an A, only the A counts.
Quality points and credits attempted and earned for the second attempt are counted in lieu of
those earned for the initial attempt. Though both attempts remain part of the student’s
permanent record, the cumulative grade point average will reflect only the grade earned on the
second attempt. The credit/no credit option cannot be exercised during the second attempt to
remove a previous letter grade.
SPECIAL TOPICS
Contents of special topic classes will be determined by the individual departments as
requested by faculty and/or students to fill specified needs or interests.
OFF-CAMPUS ENROLLMENT
Barry University students who wish to take courses at another college or university
for the purpose of transferring the credits back to Barry must obtain prior written approval
from the appropriate academic dean. Students who have attained junior status may not transfer
credits from a community or a junior college. Once a student is enrolled as a degree-seeking
student at Barry, no more than six (6) credits may be transferred toward a Barry degree.
Courses taken through consortia are resident credits and are not counted as transfer credits.
Only credits are transferred, not grades or grade point averages.
WITHDRAWAL
Students withdrawing from the university must do so officially be submitting a
written notice of withdrawal to the office of the dean of their respective schools. The effective
date of withdrawal will be the date on which the notice is received by the dean. Students
withdrawing from course(s) must do so officially by obtaining the withdrawal form from either
their advisor or the Office of the Registrar. The withdrawal form must be signed by the
advisor and brought to the Office of the Registrar for final processing. An unauthorized
withdrawal results in failures in course(s).
STUDIES ABROAD
Recognizing the value of educational experiences in other cultures, Barry University
encourages students to study abroad. Dr. Jesus Mendez, School of Arts & Sciences makes
arrangements (travel, programs of study) for individuals or groups wishing to study in another
country through special agreements with the parent institutions. Barry offers study abroad
programs at Oxford University and in Brussels. In recent years, individual Barry students have
studied in Madrid, Edinburgh, Rome, and other European cities. Programs of study are
planned by the student with an academic advisor and the dean of Academic and Instructional
Services prior to the semester(s) abroad.
