Failure to submit a timely appeal will be considered a waiver of the student’s grade dispute appeal rights. The program director is the final appeal for all grade disputes, except in cases of potential dismissal. Dropping a Course For programs that have a drop/add period, dropping a course occurs during the first week of the term. For more information, as well as dates and times, visit the website of the Office of the University Registrar at nova.edu/registrar. No classes will be added or dropped unless approved by the program director. Dropping a course may affect the loans, scholarships, or grant aid that have been awarded prior to the drop. Students are expected to meet with financial aid prior to withdrawal/drop from the course. If a student has a tuition refund when dropping a course, this may result in a reduction of aid and a change in the balance due. Students may only drop any nursing course during the drop/add period, with approval of the program director. Academic Withdrawal from a Course/Program A student may withdraw from a course or program of study, with consultation of the student’s adviser and approval of the program director, provided that the student is passing the course(s). A grade of W will appear on the student’s transcript. Students on clinical rotation or practicum require prior approval from the program director for withdrawal. Withdrawal from a clinical rotation or practicum may significantly extend the length of the program of study. In making the request, the student understands that the student may not be eligible to return to the program before the next academic year and may be required to meet specified conditions prior to being permitted to return to the program. Withdrawal, Drop, and Readmission Students are eligible to withdraw from a course once they are past the drop/add period, provided that they are passing the course and the withdrawal period has not expired.
