Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3337 - Ohio University › Chapter 3337-2 - Policies for Admission, General Academic, Graduate and Undergraduate Studies › Section 3337-2-05 - Ohio university graduate study general policies

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Registration. Details concerning the
			 registration procedure are given in the schedule of classes which may be
			 obtained at the office of registration before each registration and by specific
			 instructions to graduate students released by the graduate college. A former
			 graduate student who wishes to reenroll after an absence of one quarter (except
			 summer) must request a reenrollment from one month in advance of the quarter in
			 which he or she intends to register. A graduate student who has attended a
			 regional campus who desires to enroll at the Athens campus, or vice versa, must
			 fill out a relocation from one month in advance of registration. These forms
			 are available from administrative offices at each of the campuses. A student
			 must be registered at the graduate level in any quarter in which he or she is
			 using the facilities of the university or in which a faculty member is giving
			 some service, such as an examination, grading a paper, reading a thesis, or
			 dissertation, giving advice on a thesis or dissertation, etc. A graduate
			 student must also be registered in the quarter in which he or she graduates. A
			 master's student must register for at least one graduate credit; a doctoral
			 student for at least two graduate credits. This registration must be completed
			 during the registration period indicated in the university calendar. Any
			 exception must be approved by the graduate college office.
(B) Change orders. A student who finds it
			 necessary to add a course, withdraw from a course, or correct his or her
			 registration requests a change order in the office of the graduate college. The
			 order does not go into effect until it has been approved by the dean of the
			 graduate college and submitted to the office of registration. Change orders
			 will not be accepted by the graduate college after the Friday preceding the
			 last week of classes for any quarter.
(C) Auditing. Courses that a student wishes
			 to audit must be marked audit on registration forms. The fee for auditing is
			 the same as for credit. Changes from audit to credit or from credit to audit
			 are made by change order during the period when changes are permitted. With the
			 permission of the instructor, a full-time student has the privilege of visiting
			 classes in which he or she is not registered. A student registering for audit
			 is expected to attend classes consistent with the instructor's attendance
			 policy. Failure to do so will result in removal of the audit from the student's
			 record. If this action results in a change of fees, the official university
			 policy on refund of registration fees will be applied.
(D) Withdrawal from the university.
			 Application for withdrawal is made on a withdrawal form obtained from the
			 graduate college office. When the request for withdrawal has been approved by
			 the dean of the graduate college, the order is referred to the office of
			 student records which grants an official withdrawal after it has been
			 determined that all obligations to the university have been met. A refund of
			 registration fees is made according to regulations. A student who withdraws
			 after the fourteenth day of any quarter will establish a WP"/WF" grade in each
			 course. A student who fails to complete the work of a course and does not
			 complete an authorized withdrawal shall have an "F" reported for that
			 course.
(E) Change of address.
			 Forms for reporting a change of home or Athens address are available in the
			 graduate college or in the office of student records. A student is responsible
			 for any university office communication sent to the last address
			 reported.
(F) Change in program
			 requirements. A candidate for a degree must either;
(1) meet the requirements set forth in the graduate
			 bulletin at the time of the student's initial registration in the graduate
			 college; or
(2) should the student elect to follow requirements of
			 a later bulletin, meet those later requirements in their entirety. In the event
			 of program changes, departments will be expected to make appropriate
			 adjustments to allow the student to fulfill the requirements of the initial
			 program of, study. This paragraph does not apply to students in the college of
			 osteopathic medicine.
