Students are expected to be present at each scheduled class for which they are officially registered. Rowan's "community of learners" can be realized only when teachers and learners interact in the ways deemed appropriate for any particular class. Because Rowan recognizes diversity in both teaching and learning styles--and even course design and delivery--rules may vary with the learning experience, e.g., online or distance learning courses. Faculty establish the parameters of a particular learning experience, and are therefore expected to maintain the efficiency of the community and to keep accurate attendance records. Faculty are also expected to counsel students who develop a pattern of excessive and unexplained absences, and to request assistance from the Dean of Students if the pattern of absences continues. Students who are absent for reasons of illness, death in the family, inclement weather, religious observances, official University activities, or for matters of personal conscience should inform each of their instructors, ideally with a written excuse, before the fact or as soon as possible thereafter. Except in cases when classroom experiences cannot be repeated, faculty may provide these students the opportunity to make up written work, tests or other assignments at the earliest possible convenient time. In any event, faculty are under no obligation to make special provisions for students absent for reasons other than those listed above. Faculty may establish additional attendance criteria which are consistent with the above paragraphs. In learning communities where attendance is critical to the functioning of the group, the rationale and justification for additional attendance requirements must be part of the syllabus provided for students prior to the end of the drop/add period. Nonattendance does not constitute a drop or withdrawal. The student is financially and academically responsible for the timely completion of correct schedule adjustment procedures. >>Back to Top Students who wish to attend classes in a particular course and not receive credit, may do so by registering for the course as an auditor. Auditors may register during Final Registration or during the drop/add period. Auditors may choose whether or not to do the normally required course work; likewise, instructors may choose whether or not to formally evaluate auditors' work. Auditors receive neither grade nor credit for any course. Courses designated "AU" (audit) on students' transcripts do not count in defining full-time/part-time status, financial aid or veterans benefits, or degree requirements. Students are not permitted to audit private lessons for credit in the Department of Music, Internships, Student Teaching, Independent Study, or other experiential courses. Tuition for courses taken under the audit designation is established by the University's Board of Trustees. >>Back to Top Registration for a closed section can be accomplished only if the signed "Professor's Permission To Override A Closed Course" form is returned to the Registration Area during a registration. Wait lists are not maintained by either the Registrar's Office or The Graduate School/College of Graduate and Continuing Education. The Override Form is not accepted by the Registrar if any alterations have been made and/or the Drop/Add period has ended.

In the event that a student must or voluntarily chooses to repeat a course, the grade received for the repeated course will constitute the final grade for that subject for cumulative G.P.A. purposes--whether the grade is higher or lower than the grade received in the original course. The original grade, although not counted in the cumulative G.P.A., remains on the student's transcript. Herein, the University stipulates that the same course may not be taken more than twice including withdrawals. However, except for general education courses, further restrictions may be determined by the individual departments/colleges, only to meet standards recommended by accrediting bodies, statutory regulations, and/or professional societies. Appeals may be made through the normal appeals process. Download the "Repeated Course Form" in PDF format
