GRADES

Students are to register in person during the scheduled registration days. Late registration will be allowed through the eighth day of class and requires a fee of $45.00. Registration is completed when students have paid the required tuition down payment. Students will receive credit for courses offi- cially enrolled through the Office of the Registrar. Visitors and current students may visit a class for a maximum of one week. After one week, registration in credit or audit status for the course(s) is required. Registration is mandatory for Rosemead students in all phases of the program including students in internship and those who have completed all requirements except the dissertation. CHANGE OF REGISTRATION Course registration changes are made by submitting an add/ drop form to the Registrar's office. The fee is $5.00 for each transaction. Courses may be added to the student's schedule during the first two weeks of the semester. Courses may be dropped until the end of the 12th week of the semester. A student who stops attending a class but does not submit an add/ drop form will not be dropped from the class and will receive a grade of Unofficial Withdrawal for the course. Courses dropped during the first eight weeks of the semester will not be recorded on the student's permanent record. Courses dropped between the ninth and the 12th week of the semester will be recorded with a grade of "W." WITHDRAWAL Official Withdrawal from enrollment to the University is made by submitting a completed Departure Card to the Reg- istrar's Office. Students may officiallywithdraw until the end of the 12th week of the semester. Students who drop from enrollment at any time during the semester but do not sub- mit a Departure Card, or withdraw from enrollment during the 13th through the 15th week of the semester, are consid- ered Unofficially Withdrawn. Unofficially withdrawn stu- dents will not receive a refund of any portion of tuition or fees and will receive grades of "UW" or "F" for their courses. Students departing the University for longer than one year will be required to follow the current catalog at the time of their readmission . Students may petition for an exception . STUDENT'S RECORDS Enro ll ees are advised that the University maintains school and student records for no longer than a five-year period beyond the student 's final term of enrollment, with the exception of the transcripts and the academic record. ATTENDANCE Regular class attendance is expected of all studen ts. Classes are conducted in a manner that will encourage acad- emic excellence and the growth of Christian character. The final authority for attendance and any effect that it might have upon grades rests with the individual faculty member. This is due to the tremendous variety of class size and pur- pose, and the specific requirements in attendance.
