Academic Policies/Regulations
A complete description of academic regulations is printed in the University of Wisconsin Colleges catalog, available in the Student Services office. The regulations provide information on class attendance, credit load, grading system, sophomore standing, auditing courses, incompletes, repeating courses, dropping/adding courses, complete withdrawals, probation, retention, suspension, honors, appeals, and other academic regulations. Several of the regulations are covered in the following section.
Adding Courses
Courses may be added according to the specific dates identified for each session in the course schedule. Classes can be added online using your PRISM account. If you wish to add a class once a session has started, a permission to enroll form must be completed and signed by the instructor. This form should be returned to the Student Services office to obtain assistance with registration. Payment is required within 24 hours of adding a class after a session has begun.
Dropping Courses
Students may drop courses online using PRISM with no grade penalty (although there may be a financial penalty) according to the following schedule:
| Session | Dates | Drop Date |
|---|---|---|
| Session A - Three Weeks | May 29 – June 15, 2012 | June 11, 2012 |
| Session B - Six Weeks | May 29 – July 6, 2012 | June 22, 2012 |

| Session G – Three Weeks | July 16 – Aug 3, 2012 | July 27, 2012 |
No Show Policy
Regulations require that if you do not attend the first day in a course you will be dropped from the class roster. If this results in your not being enrolled in any class, a $50 withdrawal fee will be assessed. Reinstatement will depend upon whether an opening exists, and if permission is received from the faculty member. You must notify the instructor before the first class session if you will be absent and wish to remain on the class roster.
Auditing Courses
A student may change from audit to credit status during the same period as allowed for adding a course and a change from credit to audit status may be done during the same period allowed for dropping a course. Some courses cannot be taken on an audit basis. Check with the Student Services office.
Withdrawal
Students wishing to withdraw from all courses may complete this transaction through their PRISM account. Students who register prior to the start of classes and then withdraw from all courses must do so by the dates listed in the Dropping Courses section above to avoid a late withdrawal fee of $50.00. If classes have started, the deadline to withdraw is also listed in Fee Information Table (q.v.). If you are reported as a “No Show” and are withdrawn from all classes, a fee of $50 will be assessed.

Advising
Students are encouraged to visit with an academic advisor prior to registering for summer courses. Contact a UWFox advisor today to discuss your educational plans.
Associate of Arts and Science Degree/Emphasis
The Associate of Arts and Science degree will fulfill university-wide college and school general education requirements at all UW institutions. Earning your Associate of Arts & Sciences Degree with an Emphasis enhances your overall associate degree because you have a concentration of coursework in a particular area of study. Your advisor is able to assist you in determining which requirements for the degree will also apply to your major/minor. The University of Wisconsin Colleges Catalog which contains Associate Degree requirements can be obtained from the Student Services office or www.uwfox.uwc.edu/admreg/deginfo
