20 21 For information on dropping classes after the third week, see the instructions for Withdrawal in the next column. • Students are strongly encouraged to plan their class schedules in consultation with an advisor to avoid unnecessary changes and ensure efficient progress toward completion of degree requirements. • Students receiving financial aid should be careful not to reduce their credit hour load below the minimum number of hours required by their award level. The deadlines for adding or dropping courses during the summer term will vary. Students should refer to the class schedule or contact the Registration Office. Closed Classes • Only academic departments and instructors have the authority to admit students to closed classes. • Students may contact the individual department and/or the instructor for specific procedures regarding admission to closed classes. Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) Registration • Students may choose to register for a class on a credit/no-credit basis within the following guidelines. (These restrictions do not apply to courses which are offered only on a CR/NC basis as listed in the course description.) • Students who have completed less than 30 credit hours may register for only one CR/NC class per semester. • Students who have completed 30 or more credit hours, and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00, may register for a maximum of two CR/NC classes per semester. • The CR/NC option may be selected via the Touch-Tel system (not presently available via the Internet) during all phases of registration, i.e., through the first week of the semester, or a course may be changed to CR/NC within the first eight weeks of the semester at the registration windows in the Student Service Center or at the Davis Campus located at 915 W. 1000 N., Layton, UT 84041. The deadlines for the summer term will vary. Students should refer to the class schedule or contact the Registration Office. Please Note: • CR/NC courses do not count toward general education or major/ minor requirements. • A maximum of 20 hours of CR/NC courses may be applied toward graduation. • Credit (CR) will be recorded for earned letter grades of C- and above. • No Credit (NC) will be recorded for grades below C-. • Students who stop attending classes for which they have registered CR/NC, without officially withdrawing, will be given an unofficial withdrawal (UW) grade which is counted as an E in GPA calculations. • Students who later change their program of study and need a letter grade for major or minor requirements may petition through the Registrar's Office for a CR to be changed to a letter grade. Audit Course Registration • Students may register to attend a class on an "audit" basis, i.e., without earning credit or a grade, if there is space available in the course. • A course may be selected for audit during Touch-Tel registration or changed to audit within the first eight weeks of the semester with the consent of the instructor. The deadlines for the summer term will vary. Students should refer to the class schedule or contact the Registration Office. Please Note: • Audit students failing to attend class may be issued a withdrawal (W) at the discretion of the instructor. • Tuition and fees must be paid according to the current schedule. • Some courses are not open to audit registration. • Senior Citizens (Utah residents ages 62 and over) may audit a course for a $10.00 fee per semester, on a space available basis, by applying at the Admissions Office. Registration Credit Hour Loads • It is recommended that undergraduate students in bachelor degree programs planning to graduate in four years register for at least 15 credit hours per semester. • Undergraduate students are classified as full-time if they register for 12 or more credit hours, as three-quarter time with 9 credit hours, and as half-time with 6 credit hours. • Graduate students are classified as full-time if they register for 9 or more hours. Overload Registration • Students may register for a maximum of 20 credit hours without special permission. • Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or better may petition for additional credit hours. Petition forms are available from academic departments or the registration office.
