General Graduate Academic Regulations - Changes in Enrollment

Information given in this section reflects minimum campus standards for graduate students' changes of enrollment. Because each academic unit has the prerogative to set more stringent rules, students should consult the principal graduate adviser or graduate officer in their major area of study for unit or discipline-specific rules. All changes in enrollment by graduate students must be initiated in the office of the principal graduate adviser (Arts and Sciences) or graduate officer of the respective unit and completed in the Registration Office.

Additions

Students who want to enroll in an additional course may do so during the first week of the term provided they have the approval of the faculty adviser. Course additions or late enrollments after the first week of the term generally are not allowed.

Withdrawals

Graduate students may withdraw from a course at any time prior to the first day of the final examination period, provided the permission of the faculty adviser has been obtained and notification to the instructor has been made. However, after the mid-term, students will be academically assessed. If failing at the time of withdrawal, students will be graded "WF" (withdrawn failing). [Note: Individual academic units may have earlier deadlines for withdrawal.]

Change from Audit to Credit

Graduate students may change status in a course from audit to credit during the first week of the term, provided they have the approval of the faculty adviser and have notified the course instructor.

Change from Credit to Audit

Graduate students may change status in a course from credit to audit any time prior to the final examination period, provided they have the consent of the course instructor and the approval of the faculty adviser. [Note: Individual academic units may have earlier deadlines and may have program-specific restrictions on retaking audited courses for credit.]

Withdrawal for Financial Delinquency

If students fail to fulfill financial obligations with the University after adequate notice, withdrawal from all courses during that term will result.
