School
of Architecture Credit/No Credit Courses Individual instructors determine whether their courses may be taken on a credit/no credit (CR/NC) basis and set the conditions for such enrollment. Only courses that fulfill the open elective may be taken on a CR/NC basis. CR/NC course work may be offered either inside or outside the School of Architecture. Only one 3 or 4 credit course in any one academic term may be taken CR/NC. A failing grade (NC) will disqualify a student from possible intermediate honors and from the dean's list. Students may use ISIS to change from the CR/NC grade option to a letter grade option or vice versa up to the add deadline. Courses may be repeated for credit only with the permission of the student's dean's office. However, the original course continues to appear on the official academic record and counts in the calculation of the grade point average. Graduate students who register for an undergraduate-level course must take it CR/NC. Such credits do not count toward a graduate degree. Audits Graduate and undergraduate students are allowed to audit University courses with the instructors' approval. Audit requirements are determined by each instructor. If you wish to audit a course, contact the School of Architecture Registrar to obtain the proper form, have the instructor sign the form, and return the signed form to the registrar. Withdrawal After the deadline for dropping courses has passed, a student may withdraw from a course by petitioning the instructor. Petition forms are available in the Student Records Office, 120-A Campbell Hall. Please do not use a College withdrawal form. The instructor will assign a grade of WP (withdrew passing) or WF (withdrew failing), which is permanently recorded on your record but does not effect your GPA. Withdrawals are permitted until two weeks before the last day of classes. Incompletes The symbol IN is not a valid final grade. This symbol represents incomplete work and indicates that a grade is being withheld until additional work is performed and approved. The deadline for completing incompletes is valid only if both the student and the instructor have agreed upon the work remaining, the due date, and have completed and signed an Incomplete Form, available in the Student Records Office in Campbell Hall. After the deadline, an IN is converted to an F. College
of Arts and Sciences Students are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of their academic records. Changes to the transcript are permitted only during the current and immediately following semester. You must report errors to the dean's office within the stated deadlines. After one semester has lapsed, your record is permanent. Verify your schedule by the drop deadline. Late
Schedule Corrections Your schedule will be sent to you via
e-mail about three days before the drop deadline. It is your responsibility
to read it carefully and make any necessary changes (i.e., drop any courses
you are not attending and add any courses you are attending). You may
also access ISIS at any time to verify your enrollment.
If you have a registration block and cannot add or drop via ISIS, bring a signed course action form to Garrett Hall before the deadlines. Students who add a course but fail to attend the first class meeting may be dropped unless prior arrangement has been made with the instructor. You should not assume that this will happen in every case, however, and must confirm via ISIS that all undesired classes are properly dropped by the deadline. Maximum and Minimum Course Loads All full-time students must enroll in a minimum of 12 credits or secure the approval of the dean's office in the form of a petition endorsed by their faculty advisor. Students not enrolled in any credits are suspended. Students who carry fewer than 12 credits for any reason will receive an academic warning and jeopardize any financial aid awards. Be sure to discuss a reduced course load with your associate dean. During initial course enrollment, the maximum number of credits for which a College student can enroll is 15. This limit increases to 19 on August 5, when add/drop resumes after summer orientation.. Special permission is required to take more than 19 credits. Credit/No Credit Courses Students may elect the CR/NC option only during the add period. Petitions to change the grading basis from or to CR/NC have little chance of approval after the add deadline. Audits/Independent Study Audits must be declared by the end of the add period. Late requests for audit status will not be approved. Audits discontinued after the drop date or not completed to the satisfaction of the instructor will result in a grade of W. Independent study must be arranged and enrolled in by the end of the add period. Withdrawal With instructor approval, a student may withdraw from a course until October 19 and receive a grade of W. A withdrawal form, available in Garrett Hall, is required. A reduction in course load below 12 credits requires an accompanying petition to your association dean. Incompletes After the withdrawal deadline, students must complete all courses as scheduled or have an extension, approved in writing by the instructor and associate dean, on file in Garrett Hall. Unauthorized incompletes convert to grades of F five days after the end of the semester. Authorized incompletes from fall semester must be completed by January 17, 2006. Course Restrictions For students offering the minimum 120 credits for the B.A. or B.S., at least 102 must be College (or College-equivalent) courses; thus, no more than 18 credits from other schools of the University may apply. By faculty approval, the following courses are considered College-equivalent and may be applied to the area requirement in humanities/fine arts: AR H 100, 101, 102, 180, 203, 303, 381, 321, 333; ARCH 101. The following courses may not count as area requirements, but are considered College-equivalent: AR H courses (other than those noted above); ARCH 102, 232; COMM 320; CS courses; EDLF 545, 546, 564; EDHS 450; ENGR 207; L AR 512; 513; MSE 201; PLAN courses under 500 only if the minor in planning is completed; and STS 300 and 310. Students in the special education part of the B.A.-M.T. Program are permitted to count the following additional six credits of Curry School courses as College-equivalent: EDIS302 (or EDIS 500) and one of EDIS 510, 511, 512, or 515. The following are considered non-College courses: EDHS [other than 341, 344, 350, and 351 (College students entering the College after the 1998-1999 term may offer no more than six credits of EDHS courses toward the 120 required)], INST (limited to two courses; must be taken on the CR/NC basis; total of three credits maximum), ROTC (12 credits maximum), USEM (limited to one per semester), and all other courses from all other schools at the University. Up to 18 credits of these courses may count toward the 120 required for a College degree. Electives The remaining courses needed to make up the 120 credits required for the degree are considered electives and may be taken in the College or, with the restrictions noted below, in other schools of the University. Because each College degree must contain no fewer than 102 credits in College or College-equivalent courses, a degree program may also include up to 18 credits of courses offered in the Schools of Commerce, Education, Engineering, Architecture, Nursing, or selected from the following: liberal arts seminars (LASE); university seminars (USEM—limited to one per semester); personal skills (PLSK—no more than 2 credits); physical education (PHYE—nor more than 2 credits); interdisciplinary studies (INST—limited to two courses; total of 3 credits maximum) or the Departments of Naval, Air, and Military Science (NASC, AIRS, and MISC—no more than 12 credits). It is desirable to reserve such courses for the last two years. Additional restrictions placed on electives include a limit of eight credits of music performance (they may not count toward the humanities area requirement) and a limit of 6 credits of EDHS courses counting toward a degree. Certain liberal arts courses taken outside the College are considered College equivalent and count toward the 102 College credits needed for graduation. These include all computer science courses (CS) in the School of Engineering and Applied Science and architectural history courses (AR H) in the School of Architecture (for additional courses in this category, see Intra University Courses). Language House courses will be offered for 1 credit maximum per semester; with a 2-credit maximum limit in the 120-credit total required for graduation. Exceptions to College Rules If you believe there is a valid reason for seeking an exception to College rules, you may petition your association dean. In most cases, the recommendation of the instructor or advisor is required before the dean will act on your request. You will be notified of the decision, usually within several days. Negative decisions may be appealed to the Committee on Faculty Rules, c/o Associate Dean for Academic Programs, College of Arts and Sciences, Garrett Hall. Directors of Undergraduate Programs/Foreign Language Coordinators The persons responsible for the advising programs in their departments and for the introductory language courses which can be used to fulfill the foreign language requirements are listed on-line at http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/people/dups.html. If you need academic advising, consult with either your assigned advisor or association dean. Students may meet with the Dean of the Day in Garrett Hall from 12:30 to 3:30 P.M., Monday through Friday (except Wednesdays, 2:00 to 3:30 P.M.). No appointment is necessary.

Drop/Withdrawal A course may be dropped from a student's record by filing a drop form at Zehmer Hall by the drop date. A request to drop may also be sent in the mail, provided that it includes the student's name and social security number; the instructor's name; the course abbreviation, number, and title; and is postmarked on or before the drop deadline. The date of the postmark, fax, or in-person request will determine the amount of the refund. A student may withdraw from a course after the drop deadline through the withdrawal deadline. The student should discuss this option with the instructor and then proceed to Zehmer Hall to complete the request to withdraw form. The request to withdraw may be sent in the mail, but it must be postmarked on or before the withdrawal deadline and include the information requested in the paragraph above as well as a brief explanation of the reason for withdrawal. Maximum Course Load The maximum course load is two courses, plus accompanying labs or discussions, per semester. Incompletes After the withdrawal deadline, all courses must be completed or assigned a grade of IN (incomplete). Any student with an incomplete will not be allowed to register for further courses until the incomplete is removed from his or her academic record. BACHELOR
OF INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES (BIS) Course Load BIS students must register for a minimum of three credit hours per term unless they have received permission to take a leave of absence for the term. A BIS student may not enroll in more than nine credit hours per term without permission of his or her advisor. Credit/No Credit Courses Students may choose the credit/no credit (CR/NC) grading option up until the add deadline for courses. All courses taken to meet regular status requirements, liberal studies seminars, concentration courses, and the capstone project must be graded and may not be taken CR/NC. BIS students may take no more than one course per term on a CR/NC basis, and a maximum of nine credit hours may be taken on a CR/NC basis during a student's tenure in the BIS program. Incompletes The student must initiate the request for an incomplete (IN) and the instructor must agree. The student must complete all course requirements and deliver the completed work to the instructor before the end of the next term, at which time the instructor replaces the IN with a final grade. If the work is not completed, the IN becomes an F. A degree will not be awarded while an incomplete remains on the transcript. Restricted Courses To enroll in courses restricted by permission of the instructor, a student must submit to the BIS director a course action form signed by the instructor; blank forms can be found in the BIS staff office. A student who wishes to take a course for credit outside of the regular BIS curriculum must consult with the academic advisor before obtaining permission from the BIS director. McIntire
School of Commerce Minimum/Maximum Credits Students are expected to register for 15 credits; special permission is required to register for 12 to 14 credits. Students may carry three credits more than were passed the preceding semester, up to 21 total credits. However, all preceding semester courses must have been passed with at least a 2.0 grade point average. Requests for exceptions must be received and granted by the Academic Performance (Rules) Committee prior to the end of the add/drop period. Curry
School of Education Credit/No Credit Courses Undergraduate students in the Curry School may offer for degree up to 24 credits of course work graded on a CR/NC (credit/no credit) basis, including courses taken prior to admission into a program in the Curry School. No more than two courses during any one semester may be taken on the CR/NC basis. The CR/NC option may not be elected for any courses which fulfill specific requirements under general education, the requirements for specialization in a teaching field, or the requirements for professional education (with the exception of field experience and accompanying seminars in some teaching areas). Instructors also have the right to deny students permission to take courses on a CR/NC basis. A course previously completed on a letter-grade basis may not be repeated on a CR/NC or S/U basis. A grading option may be changed up to the drop date. Drop/Withdrawal At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be dropped from a class at any time for failure to attend or to make adequate progress. A student may withdraw from a course at any point prior to 5:00 P.M. on the last day of classes if permission has been secured from the student's advisor and instructor. This action will result in the course remaining on the transcript with a grade of W, WP, or WF. Incompletes With the consent of the instructor, a grade of IN (incomplete) may stand for up to one year from the date of the original registration. An IN is recorded when reasons known to the instructor are judged adequate to justify an extension of time to complete course requirements. An IN may not be used to allow a student to attempt to raise a grade at the end of the term. The deadline for completing an incomplete may be negotiated with the instructor, but may not extend beyond one year of the semester in which the course was taken. If you desire an incomplete, you are expected to enter into a written contract with the instructor specifying the remaining requirements and deadline. It is your responsibility to file the incomplete agreement with the Curry School Office of Admissions. If you have not met the terms of the incomplete agreement after one year, the instructor may submit a grade of F, U (unsatisfactory), WP (withdrew passing) or WF (withdrew failing); if no action is taken by the instructor, the incomplete is turned into a W (withdrew). Comprehensive and Research Exams Master's degree comprehensive and research examinations are offered on only one date per semester, unless authorized by the advisor via application at the time of registration. School
