Adding/Dropping Courses
Adding a Course
A student who wishes to add a course must contact the appropriate GPS Academic Advisor at least three (3) weeks prior to the date of the first class session. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50 is required in order to take more than one course at a time.
Dropping a Course
Whenever a student decides to drop a course, s/he must contact the GPS Academic Advisor as soon as possible in order to initiate the withdrawal process. Choosing to drop a course may affect the student’s academic and/or financial aid status.
- Dropping a Course (before first class session): A student who requests to drop a course before the date of the first class session, regardless of the reason(s), will receive a 100% refund of all applicable tuition and fees and will be charged for the course when it is rescheduled, using the appropriate tuition rate and fee schedule that is in effect at the time of registration.
- Dropping a Course (after first class session): A student who requests to drop a course after the date of the first class session, regardless of the reason(s), will be withdrawn from the course and issued a grade of "W" (withdrawal). If the student has attended none of the scheduled class sessions, s/he will receive a 100% refund of all applicable tuition and fees and will be charged for the course when it is rescheduled, using the appropriate tuition rate that is in effect at the time of registration.
A student who requests to drop a course after the date of the first class session, regardless of the reason(s), and who has attended at least one of the scheduled class sessions, will be charged all applicable tuition and fees and issued an "X" (non-passing) grade.
Please note! Dropping a course may adversely affect a student’s ability to satisfy any prerequisite requirements established by his/her chosen program, and thereby delay the student’s completion of the program and ability to graduate in a timely manner.
