III. Policy

Add Policy:
In general, a student may add a course only within the following time periods:

  1. For a semester-long course: prior to the start of the second week of class, with the permission of the instructor.
  2. For a short-term course: at the discretion of the Instructor and Program Director.
Drop Policy:
A student may drop a course without the course appearing on the transcript prior to the third meeting of the class for a traditional 16-week semester long class. For courses that meet fewer than 16 weeks, a student may drop a course at the discretion of the Program Director but generally not after completion of more than 10% of the course.

Students who do not officially drop a course will be billed for the entire course and receive a WF on their transcript. (see policy 2.03) The Refund Policy is detailed in the Student Handbook.

The student must complete an Add/Drop form which is located on the SHP website, obtain approval from the Program Director if adding a course, and return the form to the Office of Enrollment Management within the time period set forth above. The official date is the date the form is received by Enrollment Management. A form dated and submitted after these time periods will not be accepted.
