The number of courses that a student is allowed to enroll in during a semester is determined by the Office of Registration (in consultation with the Vice-Rector, Vice-Rector for Academic Affair, the Dean of Students and department heads). Decisions are based on the required courses the student needs to complete his or her degree and the judgment of university officials concerning the likelihood of student success in completing all courses he/she wishes to enroll in.

Adding a Course

A student may change his/her program by adding a course(s) within the first week of classes. To do this a student must submit a drop/add form signed by the Dean or his representative and course instructor.

Dropping a Course

A student may change his/her program by dropping a course(s) within the fourth week of classes. To do this a student must submit a drop/add form signed by the Dean or his representative and course instructor. Withdrawals during the first two weeks of classes will not appear on a student’s permanent record. A withdrawal after this time will appear on the record.

Emergency Withdrawal

Under certain emergency circumstances and with the unanimous approval of the course instructor, the Dean of Students, the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and the Office of Registration, the student may be allowed to withdraw from the course after the 30th contact hour. A grade of W for the course will be recorded on the studentґs transcript.
