Policies

COURSE LIMIT:  Summer and Winter Term courses are taught at an accelerated pace. Current undergraduate students may register for no more than two courses per session during Summer Term and no more than one course in Winter Term. Incoming first-year students and dual-enrollment high school students may register for no more than one course in each Summer Term session and in Winter Term. Students wishing to enroll in more than that should contact Registrar Dawn Scialabba at registrar@juniata.edu

COURSE DROP:  Students may drop a course up to the published drop date and receive full reimbursement. Students may drop a course by either using Colleague Self-Service or emailing the Registrar's Office at registrar@juniata.edu. Dropped courses do not appear on a student's transcript.

COURSE WITHDRAWAL:  Students may withdraw from the course from the day after the drop deadline until the course withdrawal deadline that is specified in the course syllabus. NOTE: Each course's withdrawal deadline varies, so be sure to check the syllabus. Students must email the Registrar's Office at registrar@juniata.edu to withdraw from the course. The course withdrawal will be noted on the student's transcript with a W, however the W does not impact the cumulative GPA. Lack of participation/log-on is not considered course withdrawal and will result in a final grade of F. Students will be refunded course tuition and fees on a prorated basis up to the refund deadline for that particular course. The refund schedule is administered by the Bursar's Office and questions about refunds should be directed to bursarsoffice@juniata.edu or (814) 641-3188.

AUDIT:  Summer and Winter Term online courses may not be audited.

Workload: What to Expect

The following equation illustrates the amount of time that will be required for online courses:

(15 weeks per semester x the number of credits x one in-class hour) + (15 weeks per semester x the number of credits x two out-of-class hours) = semester-long time commitment. For a 3-credit class, this totals to135 hours. For a 4-credit class, this totals to 180 hours.

For condensed courses (courses offered in less than 15 weeks), take the total of the equation above and divide by the number of weeks you have to complete the work.

COURSE CREDITS WORKLOAD IN HOURS TIME COMMITMENT FOR 6-WEEK COURSE TIME COMMITMENT FOR 4-WEEK COURSE
3 135 hours 22.5 hours per week 33.75 hours per week
4 180 hours 30 hours per week 45 hours per week

It is the student's responsibility to be attentive to the course syllabus and successfully complete the course assignments prior to the due dates. Any concerns about course completion should be communicated to the instructor as soon as possible.
