Students who withdraw from the program must return their photographic identification and student and library cards with the receipt of notification of withdrawal. Students who wish to withdraw from any course must promptly notify the Faculty Student Services Office. Merely ceasing to attend lectures or informing the instructor, although it is courteous to do so, does not constitute official withdrawal. Notice of withdrawal must be submitted to the Student Services Office by the last day allowed to drop a course without academic penalty, as listed in the Academic Calendar. Petitions for exception based on medical or compassionate grounds, together with supporting documents, must be submitted to the Registrar before the end of the examination period.
Students are responsible for knowing the rules and regulations in the Calendar.
However, students who have genuine difficulties in complying with a particular regulation may petition that it be waived or varied. Students petitioning for readmission, advanced standing, or withdrawal from a course without academic penalty should consult with the Faculty Student Services Office. Students petitioning for exemptions to the academic regulations or to write a makeup examination should consult with the Program Director. Students who wish to submit medical certificates in support of their petitions for exceptions to the Academic Regulations must ask their physician to verify that the student was examined at the time of the illness, to state the degree of disability involved, and to indicate the duration of the disability caused by the illness. When an examination has been missed because of illness, a student who requests to write a makeup examination must submit a medical certificate stating that the student was incapable of attempting the examination at the scheduled time.
