• I understand that all assignments “must” be in typed form, and that handwritten
assignments will not be accepted by any faculty member.
• I understand that I “must” attend the first night of class, unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. If I do
not attend the first class, and have not formally (in writing) dropped the course, I understand that I will be charged 100%
tuition. Note: We close our classes at 18 enrollments, and it is especially important to drop a class in as timely manner as possible
so that other students have an opportunity to take an otherwise “closed” class.
• Drop policy: If I drop a class seven calendar days prior to the start date, there will be no drop fee. If I drop a class less than
seven calendar days prior to the start date, I will be charged the normal drop fee of $20. If I formally (in writing) drop a class
after its start date, and have never attended, I understand that I will be charged a $35 administrative feein addition to the $20
drop fee. Refund policy: If I attend the first meeting of a class and drop that class I will be charged 80% of the total cost; if I
attend two meetings of a class I will be responsible for the full amount of the class. Overdue balances: Any balance reaching
150 days old may be turned over to a collection agency; this agency will charge 35% of the current balance as collection fees,
plus interest.
• I understand that if I miss a class other than the first night, it is my responsibility to make prior arrangements with the instructor
for missed assignments. The instructor’sresponsibility is to provide the students with phone, voicemail, and/or email numbers
the first night of class. I also understand that an instructor has the authority to lower a student’s grade by one letter if a
class is missed.
• I understand that I have been provided with a list of courses that have prerequisites. It is my responsibility, when registering for
classes, to make sure I have first completed all prerequisites.
• I understand that in order to meet Walsh University’s residency requirement I mustcomplete my last 32 of 38 semester hours of
coursework at Walsh University. A minimum of 15 of the 32 semester hours will be in my major field of coursework. Note: If I
wish to attempt to receive semester credit hours through CLEP/DANTES testing, or the portfolio process, I will do so before I
begin my last 32 semester hours at Walsh.
• If I have been admitted to Walsh University’s School for Professional Studies with less than the required 30 completed hours
from another accredited institution, I understand that I will only be permitted to enroll in freshman and sophomore level coursework
until I reach the required 30 completed credit hours. Freshman and sophomore level courses are those that are numbered
in the 100 and 200 series. I have reviewed this information during the admissions procedures, and prior to attending my first
class at Walsh University’s School for Professional Studies. I have also been provided with a copy of the most current Student
Handbook.
FINANCIAL AID
S.P.S. students who register for at least six (6) semester hours per semester are eligible to apply for federal and state financial
assistance. This assistance includes grant programs as well as deferred student loans. Information and applications can be obtained
by contacting the Walsh University Financial Aid Office at (330) 490-7147.
PROGRAM FORMAT
Most S.P.S. courses are three (3) semester hours of credit each. Three five-week sessions are offered each semester. Two eightweek
sessions are offered concurrently with five-week sessions each semester. This format provides 15 starting points each year
for registration.
The degree can be completed entirely through Saturday course offerings, for those who choose.
BUSINESS/S.P.S. BUSINESS COURSE ENROLLMENT
The Division of Business and Economics permits main campus business majors to enroll in a maximum of two Business Division
courses (BUS or ECON) in the S.P.S. Program if:
1) the student meets the admittance criteria of the S.P.S. Program, or
2) the student not meeting the S.P.S. admittance criteria requires a course for graduation at the end of the current semester and
that course is not available in the Business division’s main campus offering for that semester.
The Division of Business and Economics permits S.P.S. students seeking business majors not offered in the S.P.S. Program to
enroll in courses required for those majors concurrent with enrollment in the S.P.S. Program.
