e. Late Registration Policy

If you are a continuing student and you register for classes after the announced deadline for class registration you need to obtain permission from your Head of Department and academic advisor. You will be charged a late registration fee of R.O. 25.

f. Changes in Registration

Students may make changes to courses in which they are enrolled during the appropriate period as shown in the academic calendar. Unless a course change is made on an ADD/DROP FORM and in person the expected changes will not be made.

A student may add or drop courses during the first two weeks of normal semesters by submitting a completed form to the registration office. Courses dropped during this period do not appear on the student's transcript. Instructors will not drop you because you have stopped attending the class, you must officially drop the course through the procedure described above.

g. Adding Courses After the Deadline

A student may not add a course after the add/drop period. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the Dean.
A continuing student desiring to add a course after the add/drop period will be charged R.O. 25 per course.
If a class is already full you must get the consent of the instructor before you can enroll.

h. Withdrawal from a Course

Once the add/drop period has ended a course may be dropped with a grade of “W”.
Withdrawal with "W" is limited to the first EIGHT WEEKS.
To officially withdraw from a course a student must return a completed WITHDRAWAL REQUEST FORM to the Registration Office signed by the student, the instructor, and by the student's academic advisor.
If the Withdrawal Request Form is formally received by the Registration Office prior to the end of week 8, the student's transcript will indicate a grade of “W”. This “W” is not calculated into the GPA.
Unless a course withdrawal is handled in this manner, it has no official standing and will not be recognized by the college. The student will remain enrolled in the course and receive an appropriate grade.
Failing to attend classes will not result in a “W” grade being given. You must officially withdraw from the course through the process described above.

i. Repeating Courses

A student may repeat any course in which she/he earns a grade of “D” or “F”.
To repeat a course a student must return a completed repeating course request form to the Registration Office during the registration period.
Failure to do so may result in counting the credit hours associated with a repeated course twice which willreduce your GPA and CGPA.
A repeated course will appear on a student’s transcript followed by the designation “R”.
The original grade of a repeated course remains on the student’s transcript.
Only the second grade will apply toward the cumulative grade point average whether it is higher, lower or the same.
No course may be repeated more than twice.
Only courses originally taken at Bayan College shall be repeated.
Payment of the tuition fees for the repeated course is the responsibility of the student.

j. Failing Courses

A student who fails a course shall not be permitted a re-examination.
A student who fails a required course MUST repeat that course.
A student who fails an elective course may not repeat it as long as she/he maintains the minimum number of credits required for graduation.

k. Course Enrollment

The college reserves the right to limit the enrollment in any course and to cancel any course in which there is insufficient enrollment.
