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 />
