A person registered and classified as a student, but whose program is curtailed for other than academic reasons and is allowed to carry a reduced program, may have his/her status changed to that of special student and shall be charged as outlined in this policy.
General
Board of Trustees Resolution No 63-21 reads in part:
"....A person who registers and commences classes initially as a student, but whose program is later curtailed for academic reasons, does not change his/her status during that quarter or semester to that of special student...."
- "Curtailed for academic reasons" means that the college has advised the student to reduce his/her course load because of the possibility of failure.
- In those cases in which the program is curtailed for other than academic reasons, for example, if the student must work to stay in college and is allowed to carry a reduced program, the following policy shall apply.
Guidelines
A person who has registered and been classified as a student, but whose program is curtailed for other than academic reasons during the periods established under the Schedule of Tuition Liability (Refunds –Tuition and Fees), may have his/her status changed to a special student and shall be charged as follows:
- The number of credit hours remaining multiplied by the appropriate credit hour charge for special students; plus
- The liability percentage as provided under the Schedule of Tuition Liability applied to the difference between the amount the person was originally charged as a student and the re-evaluated charges as a special student.
