One course, or three credits during a session, is considered a<br />
normal course load for a student who is fully employed. This<br />
course load will require at least 6 hours of class time per week<br />
and approximately 12 hours per week of additional out-ofclass<br />
study time. Students should carefully and realistically<br />
assess other commitments before registering for more than<br />
3 credits a session.<br />
In no case may a student register for more than 9 credits per<br />
session without prior permission from the <strong>UMUC</strong> <strong>Europe</strong><br />
registrar in Heidelberg. Permission to register for more than<br />
9 credits is based on demonstrated academic excellence at<br />
<strong>UMUC</strong> with a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.5<br />
and an enrollment history indicating success in carrying a<br />
heavier-than-average course load at <strong>UMUC</strong>.<br />
CERtiFiCAtE oF EnRollmEnt<br />
Letters certifying official enrollment are available upon request<br />
from the Office of the Registrar in Heidelberg or may be<br />
generated from the My<strong>UMUC</strong> student portal. Enrollment<br />
can be certified only for the current term and for previous<br />
terms.<br />

Students who must withdraw (drop) from a course are<br />
responsible for completing the withdrawal (drop) through<br />
My<strong>UMUC</strong> or by visiting the <strong>UMUC</strong> <strong>Europe</strong> field office. The<br />
date a student withdraws in My<strong>UMUC</strong> will determine the<br />
withdrawal date for refunds. Stopping payment on checks for<br />
registration fees or not paying at the time of registration does<br />
not constitute an official withdrawal or relieve the student of<br />
his or her financial obligation to <strong>UMUC</strong>. Never attending<br />
or ceasing to attend class does not constitute an official<br />
withdrawal. <strong>UMUC</strong> cannot accept withdrawals verbally.<br />
Students who do not formally withdraw may receive a failing<br />
grade and forfeit any refund.<br />
In addition, students using tuition assistance must contact<br />
the education counselor at the education center that issued<br />
the tuition assistance to discuss the reason(s) for withdrawing<br />
from the class and possible repayment of funds.<br />
GoArmyEd students must follow the procedures<br />
and withdraw through the GoArmyEd portal.<br />
Each campus has its own withdrawal policy and dates and<br />
deadlines vary from campus to campus. Students who take<br />
a course from another <strong>UMUC</strong> campus (Asia or Stateside)<br />
are responsible to determine the appropriate withdrawal<br />
deadlines.<br />
Students who officially withdraw from a course on or after the<br />
start date of the class will receive a grade of W. In <strong>Europe</strong>,<br />
G Students who register for on-site classes or weekend<br />
seminars must officially withdraw no later than the day<br />
before the final class.<br />
G Students who register for online courses must officially<br />
withdraw no later than the Friday before the final week<br />
of the course.<br />
Note: Students may not withdraw after the final meeting day<br />
of a weekend seminar, even if they did not take the final exam.<br />
