Spring 2007 CLAS Academic Policies
The following policies pertain to all students and are strictly adhered to by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS).
Every student MUST check and verify their schedule prior to the published drop/add deadlines. Failure to verify a schedule is not sufficient reason to justify a late add or drop later in the semester. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that their schedule is correct prior to the appropriate deadlines.
CLAS students must always have an accurate mailing and email address. Email is the official method of communication for all University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center business. Go to http://www.cudenver.edu/registrar to update and/or change your email address.
Students are NOT automatically added to a course off a wait list after wait lists are dropped. If a student is told by a faculty member that they will be added off the wait list, it is the responsibility of the student to complete the proper paperwork to add a course. Students are NOT automatically added to a course from the wait list after the 5th day of the semester when wait lists are dropped.
Students must complete and submit a drop/add form to make any schedule changes. Students are not automatically dropped from a class if they never attended, stopped attending or do not make tuition payments.
Late add’s will be approved only when circumstances surrounding the late add are beyond the student’s control and can be documented independently. This will require a petition and documentation from the student. Late add’s will only be approved if the student has not taken any exams, quizzes, or has not completed any other graded assignments. Independent verification of this from the professor of record will be required. Please note that the signature of a faculty member on an add form does not guarantee that a late add petition will be approved.
Late drops will be approved only when circumstances surrounding the late drop are beyond the student’s control and can be documented independently. This will require a petition and documentation from the student. Please note that the signature of a faculty member does not guarantee that a late drop petition will be approved.
Students wishing to graduate in spring of 2007 must meet with their academic advisor by the end of the drop/add period to obtain a graduation application. This application must be completed and submitted by 5 PM on January 31, 2007. You can obtain an application ONLY after meeting with your academic advisor. There are no exceptions to this policy or date.
Students are responsible for completing financial arrangements with financial aid, family, scholarships, etc. to pay their tuition. Students will be responsible for all tuition and fees for courses they do not officially drop using proper drop/add procedures and forms.
Students who drop after the published drop/add period will not be eligible for a refund of the COF hours or tuition.
