Students are responsible for planning their own programs and for completing course sequences and degree requirements. In planning each quarter’s course of studies, students should remember that required courses take precedence over elective courses, and that some advanced courses have pre-requisites that must be completed first. Students should be guided by their interests or needs where electives are indicated. A student regularly employed is advised to discuss his or her course load for each quarter with an advisor prior to registration. Advisors are available to assist students in planning programs and schedules.
GENERAL REGULATIONS- Students register for, and withdraw from, classes via the course registration function in CampusConnection, DePaul’s online web portal.
- Students will receive credit only for courses taken in a section for which the student has been duly registered.
- Changes to registration (courses dropped or added) must be initiated by the student in Campus Connection. It is the student’s responsibility to verify that the transaction has been processed.
- Should a student’s name not appear on the class roster, it is the student’s responsibility, not the faculty member’s, to resolve the problem. The student is advised to contact their college or school office to verify enrollment status.
- No addition in registration for the current quarter may be made by any student after the first week of class (for a 10-week class). Further, students are to be guided by individual college regulations regarding unusual changes in registration, provisions for late registration, and special registration (e.g., independent studies, internships, etc.
- The University is required to report enrollment and attendance to fulfill requirements established by several governmental agencies. To satisfy these requirements it is University policy that attendance will be monitored in all classes. Each school or college maintains additional specific policies concerning attendance. Students should become familiar with these policies. Promptness is expected of a student for all class sessions. Tardiness of more than ten minutes is generally to be considered by the instructor as an absence.
- Students’ status at the university will be changed from “active” to “discontinued” if:
- There is no enrollment in the term of admittance.
- There is no registration activity for three consecutive quarters - excluding summers - in which case these students must seek readmission;
- No progress has been made towards their degree for three consecutive terms, excluding summers. (Candidates for theses and students on year-long study abroad programs are excluded from this rule.)
- Students who have been "discontinued," must be readmitted through the Office of Admission in order to continue their studies.
ACADEMIC CALENDAR FORMULAS
Academic calendar deadline dates are based on the following formulas. These formulas are particularly important for classes that meet outside the standard (10 week term plus finals week) start and end dates for a term. Please consult your college office for specific dates relevant to your class.
- Students may not add classes after 10% of the scheduled class has elapsed.
- Students who drop a class or classes after 20% of the scheduled class has elapsed will be responsible for 100% tuition and a grade of W will be assigned.
- Students may not select a Pass/Fail grading option after 20% of the scheduled class has elapsed.
- Students may not select Audit (non-credit) grading option after 30% of the scheduled class has elapsed.
- Students may not withdraw from classes after 70% of the scheduled class has elapsed.
COLLEGE/SCHOOL REGULATIONS - A student may audit a course only with permission of his or her advisor or college or school office. A student may not change from the status of credit to audit or vice-versa after 30% of the term has elapsed, or the third week of class (for a 10 week class). Full tuition is assessed for audited classes.
- To receive credit applicable to a degree from DePaul University for courses taken at another institution after becoming a DePaul degree-seeking student, a student must obtain approval and written permission from his or her college or school office prior to registration at the other institution.
- Extension courses taught through other accredited institutions are accepted only when the sponsoring institution itself conducts the courses and certifies the grade and credit through an official transcript. A DePaul degree-seeking student must obtain the written permission of his or her dean before enrolling in an extension course.
