Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Admissions process.
The university of Akron operates under a policy of "rolling
				admissions" which means that successful applicants for admission receive a
				letter of admission as soon as all credentials are processed and have until May
				first to accept the offer of admission. The application/admission process may
				be through online or other mechanisms appropriate at the time. The university
				reserves the right to enforce a deadline for applications and admission, and to
				not consider applications received after such deadline. The university reserves
				the right to require official high school and prior college transcripts, and/or
				G.E.D./home-school documentation, before enrolling any applicant. The
				university reserves the right to require placement testing and/or advising of
				admitted and/or enrolled students. Admission procedures will vary for: recent
				high school graduates, home-schooled students, adult students, transfer
				students, postbaccalaureate students, special students, guest students and
				international students. Students shall be charged fees and/or tuition and other
				fees in accordance with schedules adopted by the board from time to time, and
				through online or other billing mechanisms appropriate at the time.
(1) Prospective in-state and out-of-state
			 students who have graduated from a regionally accredited secondary school, or have earned a G.E.D., or have obtained an equivalent
			 home-schooled education
									 are eligible to apply.
			 
									Applicants are encouraged to submit scores from either
			 the "American College Testing Program" ("ACT") or from the "Scholastic Aptitude
			 Test" ("SAT") of the "College Entrance Examination Board" for the purpose of
			 course placement, though such scores are not required for admission. Applicants
			 admitted without standardized test scores may be required to complete
			 examinations to determine initial course placement. Applicants
			 
									are
			 reviewed holistically for admission to the university on the basis of the
			 quality of the secondary schoolwork.
(2) Admission is necessarily limited by the
			 university's capacity to provide for student's educational objectives. The
			 university reserves the right to approve admission only to those individuals
			 whose ability, attitude and character promise satisfactory achievement of
			 university objectives.

			 option.
(1)
									A
			 student who takes a course on a "credit" or "noncredit" (CR/NC) basis, and who
			 earns a grade equivalent to "A" through "C-," shall receive credit (CR) for the
			 course and have the grade "CR" placed on the permanent record; a grade
			 equivalent to "D+" through "F" will be recorded with the noncredit grade
			 "NC."
(2)
									A student who has completed fifty percent of the number
			 of credits required for a degree with a grade-point average; of at least 2.30
			 shall be allowed, with the consent of an adviser, to take one free elective
			 ("free electives" are defined for the present purposes as courses other than
			 those required for all undergraduate students for graduation by their
			 respective colleges, or by their major department) course per term on a "CR/NC"
			 basis.
(3)
									With the consent of the student's adviser, the first or
			 second year of foreign languages may be on a "CR/NC" basis at any time the

			 and no more than twenty credits in total, including language courses, may be
			 taken on a "CR/NC" basis (for an associate degree, half this number is
			 permitted).
(5)
									The election to take a course on a "CR/NC" basis can be
			 made only at the time of registration for that course. A student who elects to
			 take a course on a "CR/NC" basis cannot withdraw and register to take that
			 course for a better grade after the first week of that term. The university
			 registrar will notify the instructor by means of the class list of those
			 students who have elected to utilize the "CR/NC" option.
(6)
									Courses for which
			 "CR" is awarded will be counted as hours completed only; courses for which "NC"
			 is awarded shall not be counted as hours attempted; in neither case shall "CR"
			 or "NC" be considered in calculating grade-point average, but in both instances
			 the course shall be entered on the student's official academic
			 record.

									A student may repeat a course for credit "(CR)," or a
			 grade after receiving a grade of "NC."
(8)
									A college may,
			 due to a closed class problem, designate in the schedule, on an annual basis, a
			 course as not available to be taken on a "CR/NC" basis.
(9)
									A student taking
			 the course on credit/noncredit basis is expected to meet the full requirements
			 of the course as required by the instructor.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
Undergraduate students may repeat a course twice. Undergraduate
				students may repeat a course more than twice with the permission of the dean of
				their degree-granting college or, if they are not yet admitted to a
				degree-granting college, by the dean of their intended degree-granting college
				or, if they have not yet declared a major, by the dean of the college offering
				the course. All course repeats are subject to the following conditions:
(A) To receive a new grade of "A" through "F"
			 a student may repeat a course in which the previously received grade was a
			 "C-," "D+," "D," "D-," "F," "CR," "NC," or "AUD."
(B) To receive a new grade of "CR" or "NC," a
			 student may repeat a course in which the previously received grade was a "NC."
			 Registrations under the "CR/NC" option are subject to the restrictions in the
			 "CR/NC" policy.
(C) To receive a
			 new grade of "A" through "F," or "CR" or "NC," a student may repeat a course in
			 which the previously received grade was an "AUD." Registrations under the
			 "CR/NC" option are subject to the restrictions in the "CR/NC" policy.
(D) A course in which the previously received
			 grade was "A" through "F," or "CR" or "NC," may be repeated for a grade of
			 "AUD"; however, the grade of "AUD" does not replace the previously received
			 grade.
(E) With the dean's
			 permission, a student may substitute another course if the previous course is
			 no longer offered.
(F) Grades for
			 all attempts at a course will appear on the student's official academic

			 last attempt at a course at the university of Akron will be used in calculating
			 the grade point average. Attempts prior to the last
			 attempt cannot be used to satisfy curricular requirements.
(H) A student who wishes to receive credit or
			 satisfy a prerequisite by repeating a course at another institution must
			 satisfy the conditions and receive the permissions specified for transient
			 students in paragraph (B) of rule 3359-60-03.1 of the Administrative Code. A
			 course repeated at another institution for transient credit will count toward
			 the two repeats allowed without the dean's permission. A course repeated at
			 another institution will not be used in the calculation of the grade point
			 average.
(I) Regardless of where a
			 course is taken, credit for the course or its equivalent will apply only once
			 toward meeting degree requirements.
