- Students other than entering first year students may drop courses only during the first four weeks of the semester. Signed forms must be in the Office of the Registrar by 4:30 p.m. on September 25, 2009. For their first semester, entering first year students have until October 30, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. to drop classes. Some Drop/Add forms already in circulation may have different deadline dates indicated; thus you are urged to be careful and punctual with any changes you wish to make. There are add/drop deadlines for physical education activity courses that are different than the general policy. Please note September 11 and November 2.
- Students should be particularly careful about credit hours for first and second semester. Excess hour charges of $1,115.00 per credit hour will routinely be assessed each semester for any credits beyond 18.
- Students will be expected to use their "D' number for identification purposes.
- Routinely mose classes begin on the half hour and conclude at 20 past the hour. Please note that the letter 'R' represents Thursday.
- it is the student's responsibility to check the accuracy of his or her schedule. The Registrar's Advisory Board has directed that deadline dates are to be strictly enforced. We do not wish to penalize students by assessing failures to courses that you have neglected to drop formally; nevertheless, it is critical that your schedule be correct. Please help us to make your experience at Denison a pleasant one.
- For the past decade the Academic Affairs Council has authorized the Registrar and the Registrar's Advisory Board to place some students on deferred suspension without going through the suspension and petition process. Still others may be placed on Deferred Suspension (DSP) when a student's quality point deficiency exceeds eight quality points.
