CHANGES TO CLASS SCHEDULE Requests by students for addition of courses cannot be accepted by the Office of the Registrar after the end of late registration. Generally, students may not change sections after the end of late registration. When the student can verify that his or her hours of employment have been changed, the student may change from day to night or night to day sections of courses if such sections are available and the involved instructors agree to the change. DROPPING CLASSES/ WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE A student is responsible for dropping classes or withdrawing from College if he/she is unable to complete the course(s). A student must not assume that a faculty member will drop them from class. Failure to officially drop a course or withdraw from the College may result in the student receiving an F in the course. A student may drop a class in the Registrars Office (City Park Campus), Student Records Office (Charity School of Nursing Campus), Admissions Office (West Bank Campus), Office of Northshore/Slidell or Northshore/Covington, by telephone, or on the Delgado Web Site until the final date for dropping. (See academic calendar for specific dates for each semester.) Students may not withdraw from College by telephone or Website. Dropping all courses is the same as withdrawing from the College. To withdraw from the College, a student must complete the official Withdrawal Form in the ARCC-Advising, Retention and Counseling Center (City Park Campus), Student Records Office (Charity School of Nursing Campus), Office of Northshore/Slidell or Northshore/ Covington or the Admissions Office (West Bank Campus). The Librarian, the Bursar, and a Financial Assistance Officer must sign the form before submitting the completed form and the students Delgado Identification Card to the appropriate office on the students respective campus. Withdrawal is effective on the date the completed form is submitted to the appropriate office. The final date for dropping a class or withdrawing from the College is in the academic calendar for the semester. REINSTATEMENT Students who have been dropped for excessive absences or who have dropped courses themselves may request reinstatement. If the reinstatement is approved by the instructor and the division dean, the student may process the paperwork in the Office of the Registrar. The approved paperwork must be received by the Records Office by the deadline listed in the Academic Calendar. AUDITING CLASSES A student who wants to enroll in a college credit course for personal enrichment and who does not want to earn college credit may elect to audit the course. The decision should be made at the time of registration. Changes from audit to credit or from credit to audit must be made by the official end of Late Registration as listed in the college calendar. A student may audit no more than nine credit hours in any semester. An auditor will not receive college credit, nor will he or she be permitted to obtain credit for the audited course through a credit examination or any other form of non-traditional credit. However, a course previously audited may be taken for credit by enrolling in the course. Students who wish to audit courses must follow the same admissions procedures as credit students. Students who have been suspended or dismissed by other colleges or universities may, under specified conditions, audit courses at Delgado. (See the Admissions section of this publication for details.) Audited courses are not included in determining a students full-time enrollment status (for insurance or other purposes). EXAMINATIONS Final examinations are required and are held at the end of each semester or summer term in accordance with the schedule issued by the Registrar. When final examinations are inappropriate because of the nature of the course, exceptions to this requirement may be made upon approval of the appropriate division dean. 74
