Students are expected to attend classes regularly because classroom work is one of the necessary and important means of learning and of attaining the educational objectives of the institution. Students who fail to attend all sessions of a class during the first week of semester may be removed from the class roster by the instructor and replaced with students on a waiting list. Thus, students replaced must officially withdraw from the course, as removal from the class roster by the instructor does not constitute official withdrawal.

Students should not miss classes except for valid reasons, such as illness, accidents or participation in officially approved IICUT activities. When students are absent from classes, it is their responsibility to inform instructors of the reason for the absence and to arrange to make up missed assignments and class work insofar as this is possible.

Students who expect to be absent from the University for one week or more for any valid reason, and who have found it difficult to inform their instructors, should notify IICUT Administration office. The administrative staff will notify the student's instructors of the nature and duration of the extended absence. It remains the responsibility of the students to arrange with instructors to make up any academic work missed.

Students are expected to attend classes on time. Students should not be late for classes except for valid reasons, such as traffic delay or participation in officially approved IICUT activities. If a student is found to have a constant tardiness problem, the instructor may take appropriate disciplinary actions, from a simple verbal warning to one week suspension.

Only students registered for the class either as regular students or invited guests of the instructor may attend classes at the University. Individuals wishing to become guests of the instructor should seek the instructor's permission prior to the scheduled beginning of the class session.

Students may add (provided that space is available) or drop classes during the first week of the semester, and no record of the course will appear on the students' academic record. However, during the second week of the session a written permission of the instructor is required to add a class. No request to add classes will be considered after the third week unless there is a technical error. After the deadline for dropping with no record, a student may drop a course and receive the grade of "W" (dropped) or "F" (failing) as assigned by the instructor. The grade of "W" or "F" will be calculated in the grade-point average. A student may not drop any course in which a formal charge of academic dishonesty is pending against the student. If the student is found guilty, the instructor may take appropriate disciplinary actions, including assigning the grade "F" instead of a "W" for the course.

The withdrawal process is initiated in IICUT Administration Office. A student should appear in person, request an official withdrawal. If the student is unable to appear in person, the request for withdrawal may be initiated through the mail or phone or fax or email to IICUT Administration Office. A student who withdraws prior to the end of the sixth week of a regular semester will receive a grade of "W" (withdrawn). A student who withdraws after the sixth week of a regular semester will receive a grade of "F" (failing). The grade of "F" will be calculated in the grade-point average.

Students who were in good standing at another accredited institution may, within maximums, transfer credit for a bachelor degree course work. Course equivalency for major requirements must be determined; students are cautioned that IICUT is under no obligation to accept transferred subjects for subject credit in addition to unit credit for admission.

Students who believe that a subject they have taken maybe appropriate to their program and that subject could substitute for a specified subject requirement may request that a substitution of subjects be indicated on the departmental program planning guide, filed prior to graduation. Substitution subjects are normally limited to cases where the required subject cannot be offered or where the student has taken a similar but not identical subject elsewhere.

A student may repeat for additional units or credits toward a bachelor degree any course specified as repeatable in the IICUT Schedule of Class up to the limits specified. Each department determines the unit limits and any other limitations for courses that may be repeated.

With the permission of the Chief of Student Relations in which the course is offered and when the request is filed in IICUT Administration office during the first two weeks of instruction, a student seeking a bachelor degree who has received a grade of F or NC in a course taken at IICUT may petition once to repeat the course and have the second grade substituted for the first in the computation of units attempted and grade points earned, provided that the second grade assigned is an A, B, C, D or CR. A second or subsequent grade of F, or NC will not be substituted for the first but will be computed in units attempted and grade points earned; however, the extra units earned will not be counted toward graduation, but the grade points will be calculated in the grade point average. All grades received will remain on record. A student who receives a CR or a D or better in a subject may not repeat the subject for credit toward a degree, except as provided for above under "Repeatable Subjects.

Students are advised to select a specific major not later than the end of the Freshman year. Students declaring a major for the first time or changing from one degree program to another must obtain the approval of the Student Relations Office. Students on probation, or not making satisfactory progress toward a degree, may change majors only with the approval of the Student Relations Office in which they wish to pursue a different degree.

The University uses the following grading system:

The average of grades obtained by a student in all subjects weighted by the credit point value of each subject in accordance with the following formula: Where P = point for each subject, C = credit point value of each subject. If any reason a student does not achieve any point of result in a subject, the value of P for that subject shall be taken as zero.

Students are placed on academic probation for one semester for any of the following reasons:

1. A student will be placed on academic probation when he or she earns a semester grade-point average (GPA) of less than a 1.00 (D) in a regularly-graded course work.
2. Failure to complete fifty percent of their registered subjects in each semester.
