34 Santa Rosa Junior College equipment belonging to the College must be returned and all loans or student obligations must be paid before the Records Office will certify good standing or transmit student records to another institution. Good standing means that a students conduct has been satisfactory and that he/she is eligible to continue or return. A student unofficially withdrawn (without completing proper withdrawal procedures) from a class or from College will receive a grade of F in all courses from which he/ she unofficially withdraws. Enrollment records are not maintained for students who cancel their registration prior to the fourth week of the semester. NOTE: Withdrawal means dropping all classes; dropping refers to selective drops while retaining one or more other courses. (Priority 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Some students will have to plan their registration carefully so that their priority enrollment is not greater than 16 units. 2. Continuing students may register up to the 20 unit limit immediately after priority registration is over. Hence continuing students can increase units when open registration begins. Since most new student registration begins with the open registration period they will be able to register for 20 units even at initial registration. 3. Students may petition to exceed 20 units. Evidence of ability to succeed in units exceeding 20 units is required, such as: cumulative GPA of 3.0; 75% of grades are positive progress; good academic progress standing; other special documentation; counselor/faculty recommendation. Work Study Loads Students working part-time should limit their college load. It is recommended that students who work part-time should follow these proportions in distributing their time per week: Academic Lecture, Lab, Study Work Activities Units Hours Hours 12 15 36 45 8 15 9 12 27 36 15 20 3 9 9 27 20 40 Unit Defined One lecture hour and two hours of outside work per week throughout the semester ordinarily serve as a basis for one unit of credit. The weekly number of hours required per semester unit of laboratory or other activity is approximately three, depending upon the character of work. Thus, one semester credit hour of community, college work should be approximately 48 hours of lecture, study, recitation, demonstration-discussion and laboratory work or any combination thereof. Withdrawal From College To withdraw officially before the end of the semester, a student should notify the instructor. Call TLC Express using a touch-tone telephone or fill out and turn in an Add / Drop Form available at the Admissions and Records Office. The instructor's signature is required for Work Experience and Chemistry classes. See the current Schedule of Classes for withdrawal deadline. The College Identification Card and all books and
