About the Withdrawal Policy
Registration for GLSP courses is open and flexible and offers students the
opportunity to take individual courses without committing to a long-term
sequence of enrollment. The withdrawal policy is constrained by the
unique nature of this program.
Registration
for any course constitutes an obligation to pay tuition & fees for that
course and to complete the academic requirements of that course. To
obtain relief from academic penalty and tuition liability, a student must
submit a completed, dated, and signed copy of the official withdrawal form
to the GLSP office within the specified deadlines. A student is not relieved of the obligation to pay tuition
or to complete the academic requirements of a course simply by informing
the instructor of a decision to withdraw or simply by not attending
classes. Once registered, a student may not withdraw from a graduate
tutorial course or from the final essay/project course. Tuition liability refers to
tuition and any additional course fees required for the course.
How to Withdraw
To withdraw from a course, a
student must submit a signed, dated copy of this official withdrawal form
to the GLSP office by fax, mail, or in person; withdrawal is not accepted
by telephone or email. A student incurs tuition liability and academic
penalty according to the date by which the completed form is received
by the GLSP office (postmark date or date/time mark on fax is not
sufficient). A student is not relieved of the obligation to pay
tuition and fees or to complete the academic requirements of a course by
simply informing the instructor of the decision to withdraw, by simply not
attending class, or by sending e-mail or leaving voice mail about an
intention to withdraw.
Withdrawal Deadlines
Withdrawal will result in a notation of "W" on the
official transcript, if this completed form is received: after the
first week of the term in fall & spring terms; after 5 PM Wednesday in
summer; and after the registration/ withdrawal deadline one-week June Immersion
courses. Withdrawal
will result in a grade of F after the tenth week of a 13 week fall or
spring course, after the fifth week of a six week summer course, after the
tenth meeting of a three-week summer intensive, and after the fourth day of a
one-week immersion course.
The deadlines, liability, and academic penalties for withdrawal
are published in the
academic calendar for each term.
The schedule of tuition
liability for withdrawal is above. The first week of the term
is defined as the first week in which regularly scheduled (not specially
scheduled) classes are scheduled to begin meeting.
