Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3337 - Ohio University › Chapter 3337-12 - Policy on Awarding Graduate and Undergraduate Posthumous Degrees › Section 3337-12-55 - Deadlines for adding and dropping classes

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Overview
This policy establishes the deadlines for students who want to
				add or drop classes after the semester or session has begun.
Students may alter their class schedules as they wish (add or
				drop classes) prior to the beginning of a semester or session. Once the
				semester or session begins, there are specific limitations on this activity:
(1) Terminology
This policy uses the same terminology as policy 12.050.
(2) Adding classes
In general, students may add classes to their official
				schedules through the Friday of the first week of a semester or session. Some
				departments or individual instructors may require permission or even close
				registration altogether. The last day to add for a session is Friday of the
				first week. The last day to add for a semester is Friday of the second week;
				however, permission is required to add after the Friday of the first week of a
				semester. The classes for which a student is registered for credit or audit
				after the Friday of the second week of the semester (Friday of the first week
				of a session) are used to calculate the tuition and fees owed by the student.
The instructor may refuse permission for a student to add a
				class, and may exclude a student who is already registered for a class, if that
				student is absent from the first two class meetings if the class is fewer than
				eighty minutes in length or first class meeting if it is eighty minutes or more
				in length, and does not notify and obtain approval from the instructor to
				remain registered for the class. The student is responsible for dropping the
				class if approval is not obtained for remaining in the class.
(3) Dropping or withdrawing from
			 one or more but not all classes
Students may drop classes from their schedules without
				permission or academic or financial penalty through Friday of the second week
				of the semester (Friday of the first week of a session). The classes are
				removed from the students' academic records and no longer are included in the
				calculation of tuition and fees.
Students may withdraw from one or more but not all classes from
				the Saturday of the second week of the semester (Saturday of the first week of
				a session) through the Friday of the tenth week of the semester (last
				instructional day of the fifth week of a session) without permission. However,
				the classes remain on the students' academic records with grades of WP
				(withdrawn passing), WF (withdrawn failing), or WN (withdrawn never attended)
				and they continue to be used in the calculation of tuition and fees. WP, WF,
				and WN grades do not affect the student's grade point average.
The university expects students to complete and receive grades
				for all classes in which they are registered after the tenth week of the
				semester (last instructional day of the fifth week of a session).
(4) Withdrawing from the
			 university after the semester or session begins
Students who withdraw (drop all classes for which they are
				registered, on all campuses, but not nonterm-based courses offered through
				print-based education) from the university through the Friday of the second
				week of the semester (Friday of the first week of a session), are entitled to
				an eighty percent refund of tuition and fees if payment in full has been made
				or an eighty percent reduction if fees have yet to be paid. The courses are
				removed from the students' academic records, but there is a notation on the
				academic record that the student withdrew from the semester or session.
Students may withdraw (drop all classes for which they are
				registered, on all campuses, but not nonterm-based courses offered through
				print-based education) from the Saturday of the second week of the semester
				(Saturday of the first week of a session) through the day before the last day
				of classes. In this case students receive no refund and the classes remain on
				the students' academic records with WP, WF, or WN grades.
If the student is a financial aid recipient and is subject to a
				federal formula for refunds, the student's financial aid credits may be voided,
				restitution of refunds may be required, and the student may owe any outstanding
				balance on the account that previously was covered by financial aid. If the
				student has been awarded a graduate appointment, the student's tuition
				scholarship and stipend are subject to cancellation and the student should
				contact the graduate college.
See policy 12.050 for additional information about these
				processes.
