GENERAL INFORMATION
Academic Information CLASS POLICIES
University Attendance Policy Only properly registered students are permitted to attend face-to-face classes or access online classes. Enrollment in course(s) indicates the student’s intent to complete the course(s) in a manner prescribed by the faculty member.
Students must register for class at least one week prior to the session start date. Registered students are enrolled until they submit an Add/Drop Form to withdraw or are withdrawn by the Registrar either at the request of an instructor who defines academic progress in the class syllabus or the Financial Aid office for nonattendance.
Students are responsible for logging into the course website before the start of the course in order to receive updated assignments and communication from the professor.
Since attendance and active participation are essential components of the Balanced Learning Format (BLF) experience, the following guidelines for attendance during the entire class session have been set:
Face-to-Face BLF Classes • 3-week classes - A student missing one class will receive a failing grade (Z) for the class;
• 6- or 7-week classes - A student missing more than one class will receive a failing grade (Z) for the class;
• 12-week classes - A student missing more than two classes will receive a failing grade (Z) for the class;
• 15-week classes - A student missing more than three classes will receive a failing grade (Z) for the class.
Online BLF Classes • 3-week classes - A student who has not participated for one week, at any time during the course, will receive a failing grade (Z) for the class;
• 6- or 7-week classes - A student who has not participated for more than one week, at any time during the course, will receive a failing grade (Z) for the class.
• 12-week classes - A student who has not participated for more than two weeks, at any time during the course, will receive a failing grade (Z) for the class.
• 15-week classes - A student who has not participated for more than three weeks, at any time during the course, will receive a failing grade (Z) for the class.
Non-BLF Classes • Faculty must include in their syllabus a statement on attendance/consequences;
• This statement is then the responsibility of the individual faculty member to implement.
These policies do not change the existing drop policy in regard to the student’s responsibility to drop classes in a timely manner for a tuition refund, nor do they relieve the student of the responsibility to drop the course by the published withdrawal deadlines. If the student misses a class after the withdrawal deadline and the absence violates the attendance policy, the student will receive a failing grade for the class. Students missing a class should review the course website for additional information and discuss their absence with the instructor.
Withdrawal From a Course Students wishing to withdraw from a course must either submit an Add/Drop Form or through utilizing their personalized Web page,
my.franklin.edu. After the first week of class, a withdrawal will result in a grade of “W” (Withdrawn) on the student’s academic record but will not be calculated in the grade point average. Tuition charges will be based on the date the student submits an Add/Drop Form to the University (see “Tuition Charges on Course Withdrawals”). A student who never attends or stops attending a class but fails to submit an Add/Drop Form to withdraw is obligated for full tuition and will receive a grade (possibly a failing grade of “Z”) from the instructor based on all work assigned and/or completed.
Based on evidence of excessive absence or missed exams as defined in the course syllabus, a faculty member may initiate a student’s withdrawal through the Registrar’s Office. The Financial Aid Office also may request the Registrar to withdraw a student for non-attendance. In either case, the tuition and payment policy will be applied (see “Tuition Charges on Course Withdrawals”).
The deadline for a student to withdraw from an undergraduate class (Balanced Learning, Undergraduate traditional, Undergraduate ALP, and Session I or II) is the Sunday prior to the last scheduled week of class.
The deadline for a student to withdraw from a graduate class is specified in the following table:
Class Delivery Format
Balanced Learning Format (3-, 6-, 9-, or 12-week BLF)
Graduate Session (6-week) Withdrawal Deadline
Sunday prior to the last scheduled week of class
End of week 5 Graduate Traditional (12-week) End of week 11
Financial Aid Consequences Students receiving any type of financial aid or veteran’s benefits may lose part or all of such assistance if they stop attending or withdraw from one or more courses in any one trimester. Any over-award that results from withdrawing or nonattendance must be repaid before further financial assistance may be received. In considering whether or not to withdraw from, or stop attending a course, students receiving financial aid or veterans’ benefits should first consult with the Financial Aid office.
