Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Medical Education Program 2021–2022 273 13. Registering for Courses Following their acceptance into the Medical Education Program, students will be eligible to begin enrollment in courses. Students will be notified via email with the information for courses each term. Students may register via SharkLink at sharklink.nova.edu . Students must complete the Student Enrollment Agreement (SEA) each semester, or course registration will not occur. Please note that employees of NSU cannot enroll in courses using the electronic system and will need to complete a Student Transaction Form provided by the course director or program coordinator. 14. Tuition Payment Late tuition payments, or failure to make arrangements to pay tuition, will result in assessment of a late fee to the student’s account and a hold preventing future registrations until the student’s balance is paid in full. 15. Drop/Add Period The drop/add period ends at 11:59 p.m. the first Sunday of the first week of the semester. A student cannot add a course after this time. Roster reconciliation occurs at this same time, and an inactive student may be withdrawn from a course. • A student dropping from a course before the end of the drop/add period will have the course removed from his or her transcript and will receive a full refund of tuition paid. • A student who drops in the second week of the course will receive a reversal of 75 percent of the tuition charged. • A student dropping from a course without submitting an appropriately completed and signed withdrawal transaction form may receive a failing grade in the course. 16. Withdrawal from a Course To withdraw from a course after the drop/add period, the student must complete and have the program director sign the Student Transaction Form (available in the program office and online). The Student Transaction Form must be completed and signed by the course director before the withdrawal is effective. • A student withdrawing from a course after the drop/add period has ended will receive a notation of withdrawn ( W ) on his or her transcript. • A student withdrawing from a course without submitting an appropriately completed and signed Student Transaction Form may receive a failing grade in the course. • No withdrawals will be allowed once there are only three weeks left in a course. A student failing to complete a course at that point will receive the grade earned at the end of the course. 17.
