Important Information
1. Students may drop courses only during the first four weeks of the semester. Signed forms must be in the Registrar's possession by 4:30 p.m., February 13, 2012. There are add/drop deadlines for physical education activity courses that are different than the general policy. Please note January 30th and March 19th on the above calendar.
2. Students should be particularly careful about credit hours for first and second semester. Excess hour charges of $1,230.00 per credit hour will routinely be assessed each semester for any credits beyond 18.
3. Students will be expected to use their assigned “D” number for identification purposes. You can discover your “D” number by attaching to the letter “D” the last eight digits of your bar code found on the back side of your ID card.
4. Routinely most classes begin on the half hour and conclude at 20 past the hour. Please note that the letter R represents Thursday.
5. It is the student's responsibility to check the accuracy of his or her schedule. The Academic Standing Board has directed that deadline dates are to be enforced strictly. We do not wish to penalize students by assessing failures to courses 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.
6. For the past decade the Academic Affairs Council has authorized the Registrar and the Academic Standing 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.
7. Grades should be available by May 18, 2012. One can access your grades through the web at http://my.denison.edu/.
