Forgiveness policy of FSU no longer
holds, thus any mention of forgiveness in any materials (such as the Handbook
for Undergraduate Psychology Majors, The Major Requirements Handout and the
Psychology Website) no longer applies.
The new policy is as follows:
FORGIVENESS POLICY
The Office of the University Registrar will discontinue accepting applications
from students for use of the Forgiveness Policy at the end of Summer 2004.
Current students will have one academic
year (Fall 2004 - Summer 2005) to repeat a course normally eligible for application
of the Forgiveness Policy with the option to petition their Academic Dean, after
the 7th week of the semester in which the course is being repeated, to drop
the first attempt reflecting a WD grade.
DROP/ADD
Change the Fall 2004 Academic Calendar to reflect the deadline for students
to drop a course without Dean's permission or grade liability from the end of
the 4th week of classes to the end of the 7th week of classes. Courses may be
dropped through the 7th week of classes with the exception of mandated college-preparatory
courses, freshman composition and courses involved in allegations of academic
dishonesty. Students are financially liable for tuition for all courses that
appear on their schedule after the 4th day of classes (the end of the official
drop/add period).
Approval of the Academic Dean is still required to reduce the academic load
below 12 semester hours or increase the academic load above 18 semester hours
(to a maximum load of 21 semester hours).
WITHDRAWAL
Change the Fall 2004 Academic Calendar to reflect the deadline for students
to withdraw from the University without grade liability from the end of the
4th week of the semester to the end of the 7th week of the semester.
Note: Rule 6C7.002(9)(b) stipulates that 25% adjustment in tuition is only
through the end of the 4th week of classes.
Student withdraws during 1st week of classes - no grade or tuition liability
Student withdraws during 2nd to 4th week of classes - no grade liability and
25% adjustment in tuition
Student withdraws during 5th to 7th week of classes - no grade liability and
full tuition liability.
