The program director and the department coordinator will advise and assist the student during matriculation and throughout his or her studies in the program. Students may communicate with the director and coordinator via the online B.H.Sc. student center, phone, or email. Administrative Support: 800-356-0026, ext. 21222, ext. 21239 Academic Advising: (954) 288-9695 Textbooks Specific recommendations can and will be made by the program and individual professors. Students may purchase their books from any convenient source. Add/Drop Students can add or drop courses up until two weeks before the term is set to start. Any time after that, they would have to contact the program office to be registered/dropped. Students can use this option until the seventh day from the beginning of the term. During that time frame, no academic or financial penalties will be assessed. During the second week, they can still drop the course, but it will be a 75 percent drop. Withdrawal from a Course A student can withdraw from a course up to three weeks prior to the end of the term. The student may request withdrawal only if he or she is in good standing. A withdrawal from a course requires approval from the program director. A grade of W (withdrawal) or WP (withdrawal passing) will be recorded. The grade of W or WP will be replaced by an earned grade only if the student retakes the course. Unofficial, late, or poor standing withdrawals may result in a grade of WF (withdrawal failing) or unearned F . Continuous Enrollment Although continuous enrollment is not a requirement, the program strongly recommends that students enroll in at least two courses per semester for the duration of their B.H.Sc. studies. Administrative Withdrawals Unless prior approval or a leave of absence has been granted, students who do not enroll in any classes for two consecutive semesters may be administratively withdrawn ( WU ) from the B.H.Sc. program. If a student is administratively withdrawn from the program, he or she would be required to petition the program director in writing for reinstatement in the program.
