Summer Sessions 2013

 


Drops and Withdrawals
It is the responsibility of the student to make certain that his/her drop has been officially recorded. Continued absence from the class may yield a grade of "WU". Students should not assume that a faculty member has dropped them from the class. Refer to PM 94-06, “Attendance at First Class Meetings.”

A faculty member may, but is not required, by following the appropriate procedures, initiate a formal drop of students who:

have missed the first two class meetings (or the first meeting if the class meets only once a week), and have not advised the faculty member (or the department chair, if no faculty member was assigned to the course in advance) that their absence is temporary.
Students who have been dropped by the instructor from a class must obtain a Permission Number from the instructor to re-register for the class and follow all normal procedures for registering during late registration.

Official Withdrawal from the University (Withdrawal from all Courses)
Official withdrawal is necessary if a student leaves the University at any time after registration and does not intend to complete the semester. The forms for initiating this process (Complete Withdrawal form) may be obtained from the University Information Center (WH D-245), from the Office of Admissions and Records (WH C-290), and on the Admissions and Records web site.

When official withdrawal from the University occurs before the semester deadline for dropping classes (Last day of Change of Program (Add/Drop) period), there is no record of enrollment. However, if official withdrawal occurs after the drop without record of enrollment deadline, grades will be assigned in accordance with the policy above on “Official Withdrawal from a Course.” Students withdrawing from all courses should determine if a leave of absence or graduation in absentia is appropriate.

DROPPING A COURSE OR COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL FROM SUMMER TERM
If you decide to drop a course or completely withdraw (drop all courses), you must file a Change of Program (Drop Card) from the Extended Education Registration office, EE 1100.
Drops and complete withdrawals may be processed via MyCSUDH prior to the session. You must drop all classes by May 31, 2013 to receive 100% refund for Summer Session 1 and the Regular Summer Session. You must drop all classes by July 12, 2013 to receive 100% refund for Summer Session 2.

Eleven Week Regular Summer Session Courses
For eleven week regular summer session courses, refer to the withdrawal policy on the Summer Sessions calendar page at: http://www.csudh.edu/summer/calendar.html.

Withdrawal from classes during final exam week (last week of session) is not permitted, except in such cases as accident or serious illness where circumstances causing the withdrawal are clearly beyond the student’s control, and the assignment of a grade of Incomplete is not practical. A student may withdraw with a “w” grade by submitting a change of program form with the signatures of their instructor, department chair and dean, a petition for exception with attached
documentation supporting the reason for withdrawal, and documentation of illness or accident.

A student who does not officially withdraw shall receive "F" or "WU" grades for all courses on his/her official record.
