Overloads must be approved by the Academic Stan ding Committee and are generally granted only to students with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. There are no exceptions. Dance Technique Courses Students who do not major in Dance may apply no more than 2 semester course credits of dance technique toward the degree. It is expected that students will attend all classes for which they are registered. Academic work proceeds up to the date and hour of the beginning of holidays and semester breaks and resumes promptly at the end of such breaks at the time specified in the Academic Calendar.
Students are accountable for any work missed by absence from classes.
Senior Attendance Requirement Students must be in attendance at Mills during the last two semesters before they are eligible to graduate. However, in exceptional circumstances, a student may petition the Academic Standing Com mittee to complete no more than 2 semester course credits of work outside the major at another institution, provided she has completed a total of at least 32 credits before leaving Mills. In Absentia status is limited to two years. If a student does not complete her remaining course work by the deadline, she may apply for readmission under the then current Catalog. Leave of Absence Students in good standing may take a leave of absence from the College for a period not to exceed one full academic year.
