ENG 1023Argumentative and Analytical Writing (if applicable)
t Drop Policy for Online Classes A student must participate in each class (respond to a discussion thread or complete an assignment) by 11:59 PM on the seventh day of the term/semester to be considered enrolled (see Academic Calendar for exact dates). Failure to participate by this deadline will result in the student being dropped from the course(s) or the University (if applicable). Students may drop a course prior to the official drop date listed in the Academic Calendar. Dropped courses will be deleted from the student’s permanent academic record. After the drop date and up to the deadline to withdraw from a class, a grade of “W” is issued. The grade of “W” will be reflected on the student’s transcript, but will not affect the student’s GPA. After the deadline to withdraw from a course (noted on the Academic Calendar), the student’s permanent record will reflect what he or she earned in the course. Once a student participates in an online course, it is his or her responsibility to officially drop or withdraw by completing and submitting the Drop/Withdraw form through MyBU. Students will be charged for classes according to the prorated withdrawal refund schedule. A student who does not participate in any enrolled course(s) for a particular term and is dropped from all term courses for non- participation will also be dropped from any future term in which the student is enrolled unless the student specifically petitions the Registrar’s Office in writing to remain in registered classes. A student who withdraws from all courses in one term will also be dropped from any future terms unless the student specifically petitions the Registrar’s Office in writing to remain in registered classes. Certain enrollment changes may result in complete loss of aid eligibility for the entire semester even if those funds have been posted to the student’s account. For a student who withdraws or stops participating entirely, charges and financial aid will be adjusted according to the refund policy (prorated) at that point. (See the Tuition and Fees section of the Catalog for refund policy.) 4 9 | Page
