Any leaves of absence from the MPH program must be approved in advance by the Campus /Concentration
Director and the Associate Dean for Admissions & Student Affairs.
Course Withdrawal Policy & Timeframe
Withdrawal from a course is a formal discontinuation of the course after the drop/add period, and
results in a grade of “W” on the student’s official transcript. If attendance in a current course is
discontinued without an official withdrawal, the student’s transcript will reflect the grade earned for
that course. Withdrawals from courses are not eligible for tuition reimbursements.
100% reimbursement will be granted if a ColoradoSPH course is dropped before classes begin
or during the drop/add period (see ColoradoSPH Academic Calendar for semester deadlines)
There will be no reimbursement for withdrawal after the drop/add period and a grade of “W”
(withdrawal) will be reflected on the transcript.
In the case that circumstances outside the student’s control necessitate withdrawal from coursework
after the drop/add deadline, students may submit an appeal for a tuition refund. Appeals for tuition
refunds after the drop/add deadline will follow the policy outlined on the Tuition Appeals Form on the
ColoradoSPH website:

ages/Forms.aspx
Please note that the Academic Calendar for the ColoradoSPH does not necessarily align with other
programs that are part of a dual degree program, and often does not align across all three
campuses of the ColoradoSPH. Therefore, students should carefully check the ColoradoSPH
academic calendar for drop/add deadlines each semester.
Grading Policy
All coursework must be completed on time. Exceptions are considered only under special
circumstances (either academic or personal-beyond the student’s control), and terms of exception must
be agreed upon in advance by the instructor. Without a prior agreement, the instructor will assume that
the student's work is unsatisfactory, which will be reflected in the student's grade.

If special arrangements are made for extenuating circumstances, the student can be assigned a grade
of “I” (incomplete). For more information, see “Incomplete Coursework” below.
Students must receive grades of B- (2.70) or higher in all core courses (including Practicum and
Capstone/Research Paper Credits), as well as in all concentration-required courses. Any course in
which a grade below a B- (2.70) is received is not acceptable to be counted toward fulfilling program
requirements for master’s or doctoral programs; these courses may be used to fulfill elective credits
only.
