POLICY TITLE
Dual Enrolled Students Degree Completion Progress Policy
POLICY STATEMENT
Students who are accepted into more than one academic program at a time (Dual Enrolled) are required to actively make progress toward degree completion in each program. This may apply to undergraduate students pursuing multiple majors, or professional (DC) students also pursuing a graduate degree.
Any student who has not registered for classes within their secondary program for three consecutive quarters will be deactivated from their secondary program.
Students who wish to continue in the secondary program after being deactivated may re-enroll in the program. If a student has exceeded individual programs prescribed maximum completion time, which is 150% of program completion, the student will not be eligible for federal financial aid. If the student is re- enrolling within the designated time, the re-enrollment fee will be waived. Upon re-enrollment, the student will be responsible for completing program requirements under the current catalog as of the time date of re-enrollment.
If the student chooses to re-enroll after the designated time frame, then the student will be required to reapply for admissions (new application and application fee required) and their application will be reviewed for readmission.
PROCEDURE(S)
Students may choose to request dual enrollment in an undergraduate and graduate program, undergraduate and professional program, or graduate and professional program. All requests must be made by Week 10 of the quarter previous. In the request, students must declare a primary program of study.
The student’s program of study for the dual enrollment should be developed in consultation with the student’s academic advisor(s). In the planning process, careful attention is needed to ensure that the student can complete all the requirements for all programs within a 150% timeframe.
Students who do not complete coursework in both programs for three consecutive quarters will be deactivated from the program with no completed coursework. Students who are not making satisfactory academic progress in both programs will be administratively withdrawn from one program to ensure academic focus on a single program of study. Monitoring for coursework completion and satisfactory academic progress will be maintained by the Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s Office will process deactivation and/or administrative withdrawal due to satisfactory academic progress concerns.
Communication will be sent to the student from the Registrar’s Office. The appropriate College Dean will be copied.
Students must complete the Dual Enrollment Request Form, which is available from the Registrar’s Office, and submit the completed form to the Registrar’s Office. The first program must be designated as the primary program of study on the form. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the Graduation Coordinator in the Registrar’s Office to verify that the graduation requirements for both programs have been satisfied.
