CHANGES YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE



Course Change (Drop/Add)
A student may not drop or add courses within any particular semester or module after the dates indicated on the Academic Calendar. There is the possibility of reduced financial aid if dropping a course means the student could carry fewer than 12 credits. The form is available in the Registrar's Office. To add a course, the signature of the student's advisor is required. To drop a course, the signature of the student's advisor is required. To drop a course, the advisor's signature should be obtained. If the student's advisor is not available to sign the Drop Form, however, the student must write on the form that he/she takes full responsibility for dropping the course, sign and date it. The completed form is returned to the Registrar's Office. Any course dropped within the published drop/add deadlines is removed from the student's record and no charges are assessed for the dropped course work.
Change of Name or Address
Students are required to notify the Registrar promptly in writing of any change of name or address. Fill out a Change of Name/Address Form provided by the Registrar.

Change of Degree Status
If you are taking courses but not applying the credits toward a degree, you are considered to be a non-matriculating student. If you acquire 12 credit hours, and wish to continue, you must apply for admission to the College. Follow procedures described in the Admissions section of this catalog.

Leave of Absence
A student may apply for a leave of absence from the College for either one or two consecutive semesters. The student must submit a completed Leave of Absence Form to the Office of the Registrar by the "Last Day/Evening to Withdraw" in order to receive "W's" (see Academic Calendar). The appropriate program director will make contact with the student prior to registration week of each semester the student is on leave.

A student on leave for one or two consecutive academic semesters who wishes to return, may register for classes with his/her advisor or program director. A student on leave for more than two consecutive semesters will be readmitted to Medaille College through the Admissions Office and will be subject to all program requirements and policies in effect at the time of readmittance.

College Withdrawal
A student must submit written notification of intention to permanently withdraw from the College. Forms, which are available in the Registrar's Office and the Advisement Center, must be completed and returned to the Registrar's Office. Failure to provide written notice on an official form means you will be liable for full tuition and fees originally incurred (see Liability Policy).

A student will receive "W's" if the Withdrawal Form is submitted to the Registrar's Office by the "Last Day/Evening to Withdraw" (see Academic Calendar).

Any student who officially withdraws from the College must reapply through the Admissions Office and is subject to all program requirements and policies in effect at the time of readmittance.
