Changing classes
The block system requires that even on the first day of the course much material must be covered. For this reason, students need to plan ahead; if unsure about which course to take, please meet with your advisor to make any changes to your schedule before the block starts. Current classes are listed at www.mum.edu/classes.
To change from one course to another, students must come to the Enrollment Center to receive an “Admit to Class” paper. Students then give this “Admit to Class” paper to the new class’s professor. No changes are allowed after the first day of a two-week block or after the second day of a four-week block. Certain classes may require attendance from the first day.
Course Withdrawals
For courses up to four weeks in length
Students may leave a course for any reason during the first two days and will have the course removed from their record. After the end of the second day of the course and before the end of the second Monday, students may withdraw from a course for any reason and will receive a grade of W (course withdrawal) for the course on their record. Students leaving a course after the second Monday will receive a grade of NC for the course.
For courses longer than four weeks
Students may leave a course for any reason before the end of the second week of the start of the course and will have the course removed from their record. After the end of the second week of the course and before the completion of 25% of the course, students may withdraw from the course for any reason and will receive a grade of W (course withdrawal) for the course on their record. Students leaving a course after this time will receive a grade of NC for the course.
In the event of course withdrawal due to illness or a family emergency
students may petition the Department of Student Life within thirty days of the last day of the course to receive a grade of W (course withdrawal).
It is advised that students consult with their academic advisor before withdrawing from a course. Students withdrawing from a course who live on campus may recover from illness in their room with the permission of Student Life, and then must either return to class, or move off campus for the remainder of the block, or engage in other activity as approved by the Department of Student Life. All other students withdrawing from a course must move off campus for the remainder of the block or engage in other activity as approved by the Department of Student Life. Forms for course drop and withdrawal are available from the Enrollment Center or online at www.mum.edu/enrollmentforms.html This form must be completed for every withdrawal.
Development of Consciousness course requirements can be adjusted if students are less than full time in any semester. Students should contact the Development of Consciousness office to request a reduction. |
