Such a reduction in grade will be reported to the student in writing at the time it is imposed. Missed assignments may be made up solely at the discretion of the course instructor. Attendance and participation in the hybrid weekend component of each designated class is mandatory. Students can assume that all hybrid weekend classes are scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise indicated by the course instructor. Students are required to attend the full day of class for each of the hybrid weekend class sessions (Saturday and/or Sunday). Continuous Enrollment The SLP.D. program requires students to enroll in at least one course per semester per the duration of their SLP.D. studies. If a student needs to take a semester off during the academic year, a formal, written request for a leave of absence must be submitted to the program director and chair of the department of speech-language pathology. The request for a leave of absence will be subject to approval. Add/Drop Period Students can add or drop courses during the first week of the semester. To add/drop a course, students must contact their advisors to complete the add/drop process. For information regarding add/drop period and tuition refund, see Tuition Credit Policy—Voluntary Drops and Withdrawals , previously located in this handbook. Continuing Services SLP.D. students are allotted seven years from the initial term of enrollment in which to complete all program and degree requirements. Students unable to complete all program and degree requirements within this seven year timeframe will be subject to dismissal. Academic 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has been granted, students who do not enroll in any classes for two consecutive semesters may be administratively withdrawn ( WU ) from the SLP.D. program. If a student is administratively withdrawn from the program, he or she would need to reapply for entrance into the SLP.D. program. Withdrawal from a Course Students can withdraw from a course up to three weeks prior to the end of the term. To withdraw from a course, it is not sufficient to stop attending class or to inform the instructor of your intentions to withdraw. The student must request to withdraw from the course in writing. A withdrawal from a course requires approval from the program director and/or department chair (see Academic Withdrawal from a Course/Program).
