Academic Policies and Procedures<br />

Registration<br />

students may register to take courses for credit after complying<br />

with admission requirements. students receive credit only for<br />

courses in which they are officially registered and are not allowed<br />

to attend courses for which they are not registered. official<br />

registration consists of enrolling in classes over the internet (at<br />

https://express.jfku.edu), calling the registrar’s office, or completing<br />

the appropriate registration forms in person. Registration is not<br />

complete until all tuition and fees are paid; students with unpaid<br />

balances may be removed from classes or placed on hold at the<br />

<strong>University</strong>’s discretion.<br />

Prior to each registration cycle, the registrar’s office sends a<br />

notice to all students advising them of the upcoming important<br />

registration information. This information will also be on the<br />

<strong>University</strong>’s website along with general registration information<br />

and class schedule information.<br />

Schedule of Classes<br />

The <strong>University</strong> maintains scheduling information containing<br />

course offerings, registration appointments and instructions,<br />

forms, and other useful information for registration on its website.<br />

Printed class schedule information is also available in various<br />

offices throughout the <strong>University</strong>.<br />

Changes in Registration<br />

students are expected to register for classes—including field<br />

placements, independent studies, and internships—during the<br />

registration period before the first day of the quarter. a late<br />

registration fee will be imposed according to the registration<br />

schedule published by the registrar prior to each term.<br />

if no written approval from the college is required, students may<br />

make a change in registration by using the web portal (https://<br />

express.jfku.edu) or calling the registrar’s office at (925) 969-3353<br />

or (408) 874-7770. Do not leave a voice mail message to register or<br />

change registration.<br />

students are required to pay any additional tuition charges, and<br />

schedule changes are subject to a processing fee. schedule changes<br />

resulting in a reduction of units will be credited according to the<br />

refund schedule described in the following sections. if the student<br />

General Information<br />

is on academic probation, an approved Probation Form must<br />

accompany the add/Drop Form with each change of registration.<br />

Phone permission is not acceptable for students on academic<br />

Probation.<br />

Dropping Courses<br />

Approvals and Refunds for Registration and Schedule Changes<br />

students must drop courses using the web portal or by notifying<br />

the registrar’s office. Notifying an instructor or other office of<br />

intent to drop does not constitute an official drop. Dropping a<br />

course does not relieve the deferred payment obligation. Refund<br />

checks and credits to credit card accounts are processed by the<br />

accounting office after the fourth week of the academic session.<br />

Fees are not refundable.<br />

after the third week and up to the last day of instruction of the<br />

course, students may officially withdraw by notifying the registrar’s<br />

office. Notifying an instructor or other office of intent to withdraw<br />

does not constitute an official withdrawal. Withdrawing from a<br />

course does not relieve the deferred payment obligation. students<br />

who withdraw are still responsible for the full amount of tuition<br />

for the course. a W (withdrawal) is posted on the transcript for<br />

withdrawn courses.<br />

students who fail to complete a course or to officially drop or<br />

withdraw will receive a failing grade or UW (Unauthorized<br />

Withdrawal). The UW has the academic weight of F in a lettergraded<br />

course or NC in a Credit/No Credit course.<br />

law students who do not complete a course and fail to drop or<br />

withdraw will receive a failing grade or a grade of FW (Failure to<br />

Withdraw) which has the academic weight of 50 in a numerically<br />

graded course and NC in a Credit/No Credit course.<br />

students on financial aid and withdrawing from all courses should<br />

contact the financial aid office. Refunds are calculated following<br />

federal regulations and supersede <strong>University</strong> policy.<br />

Refunds of Tuition<br />

The number of scheduled course meetings that have already been<br />

held at the time of the change in registration is the determining<br />

factor in granting refunds for dropped courses and in assessing<br />

processing fees. Non-attendance at course meetings has no<br />

bearing on eligibility for a refund.<br />
