Registration Policies

Auditing

Students who desire an opportunity to learn material presented in a course without taking examinations or receiving a grade or credit may audit. Skills courses, such as applied music or art, and laboratory sciences may not be audited. An application for admission should be completed and the application fee paid prior to auditing the first course.

Independent Studies

If a class is being taught and there is no class conflict, an independent study should not be given. Ordinarily, no student can earn more than six semester hours through independent studies toward their degree. Exceptions must be approved by the Office of Academic Administration. The dean must first give approval for the independent study in the college. Also, the course instructor and the Provost must approve the independent study.

Repeating Courses

1. Students who make a grade of C or better may not repeat a course for credit. Students making D or F may repeat a course.

2. In all cases, each attempt of a course will remain permanently on a student’s transcript (with exception of courses dropped during the first two weeks of the semester).

3. If a student repeats a course in which a grade of D or F is made, the grade point average will be computed on the basis of the highest (or equal) attempted grade. The hours attempted will be counted only once and divided into the grade points earned for the highest grade to determine the student’s grade point average.

4. A student who fails a course that is required for graduation three times must successfully complete that course before the student may take any other courses at North Greenville University
