No student is permitted to enroll in two or more courses that overlap in time in any given academic quarter without official written approval. Forms are available in the Office of Admissions and Records.

In certain cases a student may obtain credit by challenge examination for graded courses at Stanton University . Credit by examination is restricted to courses listed in the catalog. Students should contact the Office of Admissions and Records for specific information on credit by examination.

A student may repeat any course in which a less than satisfactory, i.e., less than a B- or NC final grade was earned. A course may be repeated only once under this policy. Upon completion of a repeated course, the original grade will be removed from the cumulative totals on the student permanent record in such a manner that the integrity of the student's academic history is maintained. Only the last grade will be included in determining GPA and academic standing, and only those units will be counted toward graduation.

A student may request permission to waive or substitute a course for one that is required to complete graduation requirements. Petitions for waiver of requirements in the major must be approved by the office of the school dean. Petitions are available in the Office of Admissions and Records.

Students who wish to attend a class for personal enrichment, and not for academic credit, may be granted auditors' status. Auditors attend class with no obligation to actively participate in a course's activities. However, auditors may, if they wish, participate in class discussions and activities; they still do not have to complete written assignments or take the final examination. Only courses in which the instructor approves auditors may be audited. An abbreviated admission process is necessary to receive this status, and audit fees are required for each class in which a student enrolls.

Probation and disqualification policies are based on the philosophy that the University has an obligation to assist students who, due to unsatisfactory academic performance, may experience difficulty in realizing their potential.

Academic Probation

b. A student on probation may be assigned a restricted program of studies.
c. Any student who is on academic probation whose grade point average for coursework undertaken in the quarter just completed is 3.0 or better, but whose overall or cumulative grade point average for all coursework attempted is still less than 3.0 or a B average, shall remain on probation.

Any student placed on academic probation shall be removed from probation when the cumulative grade point average at Stanton University has improved to 3.0.

Any student currently on academic probation whose grade point average for coursework undertaken in the quarter just completed is less than 3.0 shall be academically disqualified.
