Students must register for a minimum of 9 credits per semester for at least two consecutive semesters to satisfy the academic residency requirement. Students may not, however, register for fewer than 6 credits per semester. Students who register for a course and decide not to take it, must officially drop it or withdraw by that semester's drop/add date to avoid submission of a failing grade. Registering for more than 15 credits requires approval from either the Office of the Associate Dean for the Master's Program or Associate Dean for Administration and Registration. A student's cumulative G.P.A. is one consideration for approval of an academic overload. Refer to weekly SSW Bulletin for deadlines. Advanced Registration occurs in the Fall and Spring semesters after the schedule of course offerings is published in the SSW Bulletin. This generally occurs after mid-term. Notice of due dates and required registration materials are distributed in the SSW Bulletin. Under certain circumstances and with approval of the Associate Dean for the Master's Program, non-matriculated people make register for a course as a special student. The person must complete the face sheet of the application and include both a college transcript and a statement as to the reason he or she wishes to enroll for a course. The usual application and per credit course fees apply. People who have been dismissed from the program may not come back as special students. All course registration occurs online. top . |
