Registration and Attendance

Registration and Advising

Registration for graduate students is open until one week prior to the first meeting day for a class. All students are registered by the HUGO Office. Students may view their schedule on the student portal (my.huntington.edu). 

Although faculty and staff advisors attempt to provide the best available information, the students are ultimately responsible for course selection and construction of their program. It is the students’ responsibility to see that program requirements are met and that the courses for the intended area of concentration are taken in proper sequence.

Attendance Policy

Graduate work is highly collaborative and students are expected to attend and participate in all class sessions. When absences are unavoidable, students should inform their respective professors. Work missed by late entrance or absence must be completed to the satisfaction of the professor. There is no penalty for missing one class during the semester. More than one absence from class without legitimate justification may result in a drop of one-third of a letter grade (i.e. B to B-) for each additional absence.

Hyflex Classes

Weekly participation is expected and failure to participate in the first week of class will result in automatic withdrawal from the course.

Adding, Dropping and Withdrawing from a Course

To add, drop, or withdraw from a course, students may do so by contacting the HUGO Office. International students participating in Hyflex via face-to-face delivery are under the same policies as students that participate online.

Adding a Hyflex Course

Students may add courses to their schedule in consultation with their academic advisor. A course cannot be added less than one week before the start date of the semester/session.

Dropping a Hyflex Course

Students who have not participated in any class activities may drop courses without impacting their GPA and will receive no record of the course on their transcripts.

Withdrawing from a Hyflex Course

Students enrolled in in-person, online, or HyFlex courses may withdraw from a course within the designated withdrawal period.

• 15-Week Courses:
  Withdrawals are allowed through the end of Week 10. A grade of W will be recorded, with no impact on GPA.
  Withdrawals requested after Week 10 result in a grade of WF, which does impact GPA.
   
• 7-Week Courses:
  Withdrawals are allowed through the end of Week 5. A grade of W will be recorded, with no impact on GPA.
  Withdrawals requested after Week 5 result in a grade of WF, which does impact GPA.
   
• 5-Week Courses:
  Withdrawals are allowed through the end of Week 3. A grade of W will be recorded, with no impact on GPA.
  Withdrawals requested after Week 3 result in a grade of WF, which does impact GPA.
   
• The withdrawal period will be prorated for courses that do not follow the 15-, 7- or 5-week schedule.
   
• Students who fail to request a withdrawal will receive an F.

Students who are receiving financial aid must remain continuously enrolled and maintain full- or part-time enrollment status.

Withdrawal from Graduate Programs

To withdraw from the Graduate Programs, students must notify the HUGO Office. Students who do not officially withdraw from the program are given grades of F. Students receiving financial aid must contact the Financial Aid Office regarding the implications on financial responsibilities.
