A "W" indicates an official withdrawal from a course and does not affect the student's grade point average. A "UW" indicates an unofficial withdrawal. Students who register for a class but do not attend it are automatically given the grade of "UW"which will influence the grade average the same as an F. A temporary mark of "RD" (Report Delayed) will be used in special cases of extreme hardship where an extension is warranted and approved by the Dean. A student must appeal for an RD grade before the end of the semester. Such a grade incurred in one semester must be made up by the end of the first nine (9) weeks of the next semester or the grade will automatically become an F. An F can be made up only by repetition of the course. A student may only be allowed a combination of two F's and/or two C's (understood to include both C+ or C-); a third C and/or F bringsautomatic elimination from the program. No grade other than an RD may be altered once it has been reported to the Registrar unless an error was made in grading or recording. These changes can only be made upon written approval of the instructor, the Registrar, and the Committee on Admissions and Academic Qualifications .

Registration is mandatory for students in all phases of the program , including students in internship and those who have completed all requirements except the dissertation .
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION AND COURSE VALIDATION
No graduate credit willbe given by examination or validation . Students who possess an excellent but non-transcripted background in an area of study may, with the permission of the advisor and Registrar, validate by examination to receive a waiver for a required course, however, no unit credit is given for such validation. Successful validation would allow the student to take additional equivalent elective hours in the program. No degree will be given without a student's completion of the full number of units required for the degree. 43
