Course requirements and prerequisites 

Students are expected to meet all course requirements and prerequisites as noted in this publication. Full information on �鶹��’s academic policies, procedures and programs may be found in the Undergraduate or Graduate Academic Catalogs.

J-Term undergraduate course load

Students may take up to three credits (one course) in J-Term. This policy is designed to support student success due to the intensive three-week format. Students with extenuating circumstances may request permission to overload from their academic dean's office. For consideration of an overload, a student must have earned at least 75 credits and maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average or higher. Decisions will be made by the student’s college/school associate/assistant dean. Students should consult with their academic advisor before requesting an overload.

Course schedules

J-Term course schedules are only available on-line at . Printed schedules will not be mailed. Students and authorized users will receive a statement notification. Your account charges, payments, and balance are available on myRider.

Dropping and withdrawing from a J-Term course

All students enrolled in J-Term may drop and/or withdraw through the Registrar's Office following the J-Term drop and withdrawal dates listed below. All drops or withdrawals (student discretion only) must be initiated by the student.

Students are held responsible to officially drop or withdraw from a course. Students will not be automatically dropped or withdrawn if they stop attending class(es). Failure to officially drop or withdraw from a course by deadlines outlined in the J-Term calendar will result in a grade of “F.” 

Students who do not attend any class meetings and do not officially drop will receive a grade of “N” and are held responsible for the full cost of the course tuition and fees.
