DROPPING AND ENTERING COURSES

68.

(a)

A student may drop or enter a course within the first 10 class days with the approval of the adviser.
From the 11th through the 15th class days a student may enter a course with the permission of the instructor, the adviser, and the Class Dean.
A student may drop a course up to the end of the fifth week of the semester:

after consultation with the instructor;

with the approval of the adviser and the Class Dean;

provided that other courses for at least 12 credits are being carried for regular letter grades.

After the end of the fifth week of the semester a student may not drop a course. However, on two and only two occasions during her years at the College -- once during her first year; once during any subsequent year -- a student may drop a course at any time up to the end of the ninth week of the semester, for any reason, without permission or penalty.

(b)

A student registers for an Interterm course in November, with the approval of her adviser. In January, a student may drop or enter an Interterm course within the first three days with a class dean's signature. Otherwise, the student who registers but does not attend will receive a "U" (unsatisfactory) for the course.
