A "W" indicates an official with- drawal from a course and do es not affect the student's grade average. A "UW" indicates an unofficial withdrawal. Students who register for a class but do not attend it are auto- matically 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 spe- cial cases of ex treme hardship where an exte nsion is warranted and approved by the clean. 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 encl of the first nine (9) weeks of the next semester or the grade will automatically become a "W." A "W" can be made up only by repetition of the course. No grade other than an "RD" may be altered once it has been reported to the regisu·ar's office unless an error was made in grad ing or recording. These changes can only be made upon written approval of the instructor, the registrar and the Ed.D. committee. Academic Probation A student failing to maintain the minimum GPA of 3.0 will be placed on academic probation. The follow- ing semester, should the student not meet the minimum cumula ti ve GPA (3.0), they will automat ically be dis- missed. A student cannot graduate while on probation. Academic Dismissal Students who receive two grades of "C" and/ or "F" \\111 be re11ewed by the Ecl.D. committee, and are subject to pro- bation or dismissal from tl1e program; a third "C" and/ or "F" brings automatic elimination from the program. Time Limit for Degrees All course and academic require- ments must be completed within five years from the date of the stuclem's first registration for graduate study in the Ed.D. program, unless an exten- sion has been granted by the Ecl.D. committee. All Ecl.D. cou rse work and successful passing of the qualifying exami nati ons must be completed within 4 yea rs of the date of the stu- dent's first registration for graduate swcly in the Ecl.D. program.

Studen ts who unoffi- ciallywithdraw from the program and are later re-admitted may be required to pay continuation fees for semesters during which they were not enroll ed and may be subject to Ecl.D. curricu- lum changes and graduation require- ments implemented during their pro- gram inactivity. Leave of Absence Inactive students are those who have reques ted and been granted a leave of absence from their program. A leave or absence may be granted upon petition for change of status if there is deemed sufficient reason for interrupting the program and inten- tion to return to the program. Change of status forms are available from the Registrar's Office. A leave of absence must be renewed by petition each semester and may not exceed two consecutive semesters. Missionaries may petition to be exempted. A leave of absence longer than two semesters will require withdrawal from the program and a petition for readmission if the student later wishes to regain active status. Each leave of absence must receive the approval of the sLUdent's disserta- tion advisor, if applicable, and th e final approval of the Ed.D. committee.
