Instructor approval will be required to add a class beginning on the 6th business day of the semester or block. • Students may drop classes online or at the registration windows (Registrar's Solution Center) through the deadline dates (see the Academic Calendar online). There are different deadlines for refunds and grading when withdrawing from classes. • 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. 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 The basic objective of credit/no credit grading is to allow students the opportunity to enroll in classes outside their major or minor on a pass (CR)/fail (NC) basis without affecting their GPA. The following rules apply: • Freshmen students may take no more than one class per term on a credit/no credit basis. • Students with 30 or more credit hours who have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above may register for no more than two classes per term on credit/no credit basis. • A maximum of 20 hours of credit/no credit in elective courses may be used for graduation. • Classes taken on a credit/no credit basis will not satisfy major, minor, general education, or specific course requirements. The University Curriculum and General Education Committee have designated a few exceptions to this rule. Please see the academic department for information on these course exceptions. • Grades on the credit/no credit system are not included in computing the term or cumulative grade point average. A grade of credit is recorded only for letter grades of C- and above. Grades less than C-, including UW, will be recorded as no credit. • Students who change their Program of Study must submit the appropriate form to the Records Office and request the grade be changed to the letter grade issued by the instructor if a credit/no credit course applies to the new Program of Study. • If a student has previously taken a course for a letter grade, the same course may not be retaken for credit/no -credit. • Choice of credit/no credit registration should be made at the beginning of the term, but a student may change classes to credit/no credit status until the CR/NC deadline. This date can be found in the University's Academic Calendar. • The instructor is not notified when a student takes a class for a credit/no credit grade. The instructor will assign a letter grade on the Final Grade Report and then the Records Office will convert the letter grades to credit or no credit. Audit Course Registration The basic objective of taking a class as audit is to allow students the opportunity to attend a class without earning either a grade or credit for the class. • Students registering to audit a class will pay tuition and fees per the current tuition and fee schedule. • Students in regulated programs, i.e. Financial Aid and Athletics, are subject to the respective program guidelines for audit registration. • Some courses may not be open to audit students because of classroom space limitations. Students must receive instructor permission to audit a class. • Choice of audit registration should be made at the beginning of the term, but a student may change classes to audit status until the audit deadline. This date can be found in the University's Academic Calendar'. • Students auditing classes are expected to attend on a regular basis. Students may officially withdraw from the audited class according to the deadline. Audit students failing to attend class may be issued a "W" grade at the discretion of the instructor. • Senior Citizens (Utah residents ages 62 and over) may audit a course as a Lifetime Learner for a $10.00 fee per semester, on a space available basis, by applying at the Admissions Office. Lifetime Learner's selecting this option for courses do not have the option to receive a letter grade nor credit on their transcript for these courses. Weber State University 2012-2013 Catalog
