Students are required to complete all courses for which they are registered by the end of the

semester. In some cases, a student may be unable to complete all of the coursework because of

extenuating circumstances, but not due to poor performance or to retain financial aid. The term

'extenuating' circumstances includes: (1) incapacitating illness which prevents a student from
attending classes for a minimum period of two weeks, (2) a death in the immediate family, (3)

financial responsibilities requiring a student to alter a work schedule to secure employment, (4)

change in work schedule as required by an employer, or (5) other emergencies deemed

appropriate by the instructor.
