Adding a Class

SCS students may ADD classes according to the approved SCS ADD dates. ADDs can be submitted online through myRWU, or with the assistance of an advisor.  SCS support staff are not allowed to submit ADD slips.  Instructor permission is not needed if only one class meeting or weekly online session has been missed. If two class meetings or weekly online sessions have been missed, the ADD request must have the instructor’s permission.

Dropping a Class

It is important to note that failure to attend the 1st class meetings, failure to log into an online class, or failure to make payment does NOT result in any kind of Administrative DROP nor absolve your Financial obligation or registration. If you register and then decide not to attend RWU this semester, you MUST submit a Drop form or request the DROP from your advisor (preferred method to assure correct refund). Failure to do so will result in failing grades and full tuition liability.

Incomplete Grades

If a student is unable to complete assigned course work by the end of the semester due to documented extenuating circumstances, faculty may assign a grade of Incomplete (I) if the quality of work already completed warrants an extension and provided that the student is able to complete the remaining work. In all cases,  faculty stipulate work remaining and the duration of the extension.

For an Incomplete grade to be removed and replaced with a letter grade, students need to complete course work by the end of the next regular semester and faculty need to submit a Change of Grade form before the conclusion of the next regular semester. An Incomplete is automatically converted to an ‘F’ unless the Registrar receives a Change of Grade before the conclusion of the next regular semester. Other than Incomplete, course grades may not be changed beyond one semester after the course is completed, except with the approval of the Academic Standards Committee.
