ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS:
Waitlist are void on midnight
Sunday, January 17th. "First come
first serve" rule applies for all waitlists that were not
autoenrolled by the system by midnight. While waitlist are voided
on Sunday at midnight waitlist status will still appear on your
account (it just will not be an active waitlist). If an instructor
approves you into his/her class it is the students responsibility
to follow through immediately with officially registering for
that class(s).
All students now will need pin numbers
to enroll in a class if it is showing as closed (even if there
may be open seats, or if the student is currently on the waitlist
and there are open seats). The instructor has full control over
who enrolls in the class, if the class is closed. If the class
is open and there is no wait list, then there is open registration
through the week, until next Sunday evening, midnight, when add/drop
has expired. See additional waitlisted note below.

POLICY INFORMATION from
the Registrars Office:
New Academic Policy Approved
for Implementation effective as of Fall 2009
Repetition of Courses
For courses taken at Benedictine University, undergraduate students,
both degree seeking and students-at-large, may repeat a course
in which they received grades of W, D, or F no more than two times.
Students may not repeat any course in which they receive a grade
of C or better. When a course is repeated for credit, the earlier
earned grade remains on the student's permanent record and will
appear on all transcripts. Only the last enrollment and earned
grade will be used in computing the cumulative grade point average
and awarding of credit. If a student wishes to repeat a course
originally taken at Benedictine University and in which an earned
grade was received, the repeat must be a course at Benedictine
University. A repeat may not be by independent study or by study
at another institution. The Academic Standing Committee may provide
exceptions to this policy. An earned grade is a grade of A, B,
C, D, and F.
Students who have graduated may not repeat a course for credit
in which they earned a grade of A, B, C, or D previously. A student
who has graduated may only audit a course in which they previously
earned credit.
New Chem 113 Pre-Requisite
(Effective Fall 2009)
Chem 113- Pre-Requisite: Math 110 with a
"C" or better or Placement into Math 111 or Higher,
and one year high school chemistry.
