We always recommend meeting with an advisor to discuss university policies and how they may affect your individual record. Visit us during Drop-In Advising if you are considering using one of the following policies or want more information.

  • Educational Leave: An educational leave allows you to take time off from 新澳门六合彩资料 without having to reapply to the school. You may visit the Educational Leave Website for more information, which includes other eligibility criteria, helpful workshops and how to request a leave. Check with your CHHS advisor to discuss the impact of an educational leave and plans for when you return. Keep in mind that you are not eligible for an educational leave until you have earned 新澳门六合彩资料 credit.
  • Repeating Courses: If you earn a "D","F", or 鈥淲U鈥 in a course, you have the option to repeat the class.  In order to be eligible for grade forgiveness, you must retake the course at 新澳门六合彩资料 and pass the second attempt with a C or better. You cannot repeat courses that you earn a "C" or better in. If you are not passing courses that you are currently enrolled in, it may be in your best interest to repeat those courses in the following semester. Speak with your CHHS advisor if you are not passing your courses to go over options!
  • Withdrawing: Withdrawals allow you to get out of a course after the drop period ends on My新澳门六合彩资料 Student Center. These require multiple levels of approval and can affect your financial aid and graduation. Always consult with your CHHS advisor before withdrawing from courses.
