Late Enrollment Fee
Students who enroll or pay fees after the last day to pay fees as listed in the Schedule of Classes will be considered as late enrollees and will be charged a late penalty fee of $30.00. Exceptions are made for enrollment in classes not scheduled to begin at the time of regular classes or enrollment delay due to university procedures as determined by the Registrar.
Addition of Courses
Changes from one course to another may be approved if sufficient reason can be given to justify the change. Such changes may be made within one week after the date of regular enrollment in a full semester, or by the end of the second day following enrollment in a summer session. On an Add card provided for this purpose, the student must obtain the signature of the faculty advisor. To make the addition of the course official, the student must present this properly signed card to the Registrar's Office. A receipt will be given the student when the addition becomes official.
Withdrawal from Courses and the University
Notice of withdrawal from the university should be made in person to the Office of The Registrar after counseling with the faculty advisor. If the student is unable to appear in person, the notice should be given by letter.
During the first ten class days, students may withdraw from classes without a notation on their academic record.
From the eleventh class day to the end of the eleventh week, a notation of W will appear on the student's academic record if the student withdraws. The W is not computed in the grade point average.
No withdrawals from courses will be accepted beginning with the twelfth week. Students withdrawing from the university after the last day of the eleventh week will receive a W for courses the student is passing, or an F for courses in which failing work is being done.
A student who does not officially withdraw from a course or from the university will be given an F grade in the course or courses concerned. These F grades will be included in the computation of the grade point average.
The dates for withdrawal from courses which run less than sixteen weeks shall be set to obtain proportionate time periods.
Exceptions to this policy may be appealed through the Student Faculty Committee of the Faculty Senate.
Enrollment as an Auditor
Each auditor must have a permit to audit from the university registrar authorized by the course instructor. A permit may be issued to regularly enrolled students, as well as students enrolled to audit only. Auditors will be charged a per credit hour fee when the permit is issued. This fee is not refundable. Persons over 60 years of age may audit, on a space available, no-fee basis. All persons who audit courses are admitted as listeners only and are not entitled to participate in class activities except as listeners. No transcript or record is made of audit enrollments.
Transcripts
The university permanent academic record of a student is a historical record of a student's academic progress at Pittsburg State University. A transcript is a certified, official copy of a student's permanent record. The transcript reflects courses and grades enrolled in by the student and recorded in accordance with academic regulations as listed in the University Catalog. The transcript cannot be altered at the request of a student to delete any part of the transcript. The entire transcript will be prepared each time a transcript is requested.
Transcripts may be requested from the Office of the Registrar. Transcripts are charged at the rate of $5.00 for mailed transcripts and $4.00 for transcripts picked up at the Registrar's office. No transcript will be provided without the student's signature for the authorization of such release. No transcript will be provided if the student has not met financial obligations to the university. Disciplinary actions are not recorded on transcripts. |
