School of Professional Studies - William Jessup University

Changes in Registration
2010-2011
Changing registration after the semester has begun is allowed primarily to adjust for extenuating circumstances beyond the
student’s control, registration errors, lack of prerequisite courses, or schedule changes initiated by the University. Student
initiated changes are subject to an Add/Drop fee.
After the late registration period is complete, changes may be made only when the University deems the circumstances sufficiently
extraordinary to warrant an exception.
Add a Course
A student may add classes in their schedule during the first week of instruction without academic penalty. The student is
responsible to initiate the process by using the proper form, available in the Administration Office, and consulting with an
academic advisor. Student initiated changes are subject to an Add/Drop fee.
Changing Audit to Credit
Audit students may change to a credit basis prior to the close of the late registration period.
Changing Credit to Audit
A student may change from credit to audit until the end of the late registration period.
Dropping (Withdrawing from) a Course
Traditional
A student may drop classes in their schedule during the first
week of instruction without academic penalty. A student
may withdraw from a course after the late registration
period, receiving a W grade, until the end of the tenth week
of the semester. (To withdraw from all classes, see
“Withdrawing from the University”). Any change in a
student’s course schedule after the start of classes is subject
to an Add/Drop Fee.
For weekend or one-day courses a student must withdraw
before the first day of class. Non-attendance of weekend
classes will result in an F.
The student is responsible to initiate the process by
obtaining the proper form and signatures of the instructor
and academic advisor. Refunds are based on the official
drop date, which is the date the completed form is received
in the Registrar’s office.
Failure to officially withdraw from a course will result in a
grade of F and forfeiture of tuition refund. A student no
longer registered for credit or audit is ineligible for further
attendance in the class.
.
SPS
Students withdrawing from a course must submit a Petition
to Add/Drop form to the SPS Office. Students who submit a
Petition to Add/Drop before the first class session will not
receive a penalty and the course will not appear on the
student’s permanent transcript. Students who drop a
course after the first class session will receive a “W” on their
permanent transcript. The Petition to Add/Drop form is to
be submitted to either the University Academic Office or the
local SPS Office. The effective date of the drop will be the
postmark, fax date and time, or date and time received
personally by University staff. Failure to withdraw from class
by submission of a Petition to Add/Drop will result in an “F”
being entered on the permanent transcript for the class and
any refunds for the class are forfeited.
A student who has officially dropped a class and who is no
longer registered for credit or for audit is ineligible for
further attendance in that class. Dropping a class may affect
the student’s financial aid. It is the student’s responsibility
to contact the Financial Aid Office for information. Student
initiated changes are subject to a change of registration fee.
