Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Graduate/Professional Degree Programs 2024–2025 199 The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of current and former students’ educational records and afford students certain rights with respect to their education records. To view the entire FERPA policy, visit nova.edu/registrar/services/ferpa.html. 11. Registering for Courses Following acceptance, students will be eligible to begin enrollment in their 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), available at nova.edu/registrar/services/registration.html, 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 office. All students are required to complete the electronic SEA each term prior to registration. Continuous registration is mandatory—until the completion of the degree—to uphold an active student status unless prior approval is obtained. Noncompliance with ongoing registration will result in formal withdrawal from the program after two consecutive semesters, except in cases where prior approval has been granted. 12. 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. 13. Drop/Add Period The course drop/add period ends at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday of the first week of the semester. A student cannot drop/add a course after this deadline. Roster reconciliation occurs the second week of the semester, and a student in nonattendance will be dropped from the student’s course(s). • For a student who drops a course(s) for the semester during the 100 percent drop/add period (during the first week of the semester), a full reversal of tuition will be applied to the student’s account. • For a student who drops a course(s) during the second week of the semester, a 75 percent reversal of tuition will be applied to the student’s account. • A student who drops a course after the second week of class will receive no refund. 14. 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 program director before the withdrawal is effective. The withdrawal period opens during the second week of the semester and ends three weeks before the end of the semester (based on the official term ending date). • A student withdrawing from a course before the end of the drop/add period will have the course rem oved from the student’s transcript.
