2 Important Policies • Learning Support (LS) requirements may not be deferred to a future semester; in order to take any college-level credits (1000-level or higher), students must be in the process of satisfying LS requirements. This is a state Board of Regents policy. • If a student withdraws from a LS class, s/he must also withdraw from all college-level courses. The exception is that students in one LS course may remain in UNIV 1101, 1000-level PHED, and/or a performance course, such as band or chorus. This, too, is Board of Regents policy.
What does it mean to withdraw from a course? • When students withdraw from a Learning Support (LS) course by the midpoint of the semester, that semester’s attempt in LS doesn’t count toward the total allowed attempts. • “Attempt” is defined as any semester in which a student receives any grade other than W. (i.e., A, B, C, IP, F, or WF) • While there are no academic penalties for withdrawing from a class, there may be financial aid consequences.
Allowed Number of Attempts for Completion of LS Requirements • READ 0099: maximum of 2 • ENGL 0099: maximum of 2 • MATH 0097: maximum of 2 • MATH 0099: maximum of 3, for those who begin in MATH 0099 • MLCS 0099: maximum of 3 Note: Students who have a LS math requirement are allowed a maximum of 3 semesters in which to completely satisfy the LS math requirement. Students must be in the 0099-level course by the third attempt.
