Registrar Polices
All tuition and housing fees must be paid and Health Center clearance secured before students may attend classes. The dates of registration are listed in the Academic Calendar. Students must follow registration procedures as established by the Registrar. Students not officially registered by the add/drop date will not be allowed to remain in classes. Students with outstanding health requirements and/or account balances will not be allowed to register for a subsequent term at Marymount. Any course that does not have a sufficient number of students may be cancelled.
Scholastic Standing
Students are considered to be in good standing and making acceptable progress when a GPA of 2.00 is maintained and the student is making progress toward completion of the Associate and Bachelors degree or preparation for transfer. Students are responsible for observing the requirements of the program in which they are enrolled. Students may not enter a course for which they do not have the prerequisite or its equivalent.
Sequential Courses
Certain elements of the curriculum require courses to be taken in sequence. Courses taken out of sequence may be accepted as elective credit by Marymount but will not fulfill the General Education requirements toward the Associate or Bachelors. degree. Final grades for prerequisite courses taken at other Colleges must be received prior to registration for the next course in a sequence.
Student Transcripts
A student may request transcripts by completing a written application. The first copy is free and subsequent official copies are $5.00 (unofficial copies are $1.00 each). The fee for same-day service is $10.00. The fee should accompany the written request. Transcripts cannot be released without the student’s signature and until all fees to the College have been paid and holds are cleared.
Supplemental Educational Opportunities
DIRECTED STUDY (catalog courses)
Directed study is a course that appears in the Marymount College catalog but is NOT being offered in the semester or session the student wishes to take it. The student can register and receive credit for such a course by working independently under the supervision of a faculty sponsor. In a directed study the faculty member shares the responsibility with the student, generally planning readings and/or projects and meeting with the student regularly to ensure that minimum contact hours and content requirements are met.
PRACTICUM (1-6 units)
296: Provdes the opportunity for students to enhance their classroom experience by devoting additional time in assisting other students, such as serving as a teaching assistant or performing service with a community organization in connection with course content of students' currently enrolled classes.
396-496: Provides the option for students who can make a commitment to an organization/company for definite hours during the semester. 396-496 integrates school and professional learning experiences and provides the opportunity for students to experience self-directed learning, produce reflective documents, and engage in transformative learning outside the classroom while taking traditional courses.
Participation Requirements: For students with Frosh, Soph, Junior, or Senior Standing: Must be in good academic standing; co-curricular requirements are up to date; application and consent approved by instructor of record.
INDEPENDENT STUDY (295 courses)
Independent study answers the need for individual research and expression in special areas of interest that are NOT included in the regular course offerings. It provides training for life-long learning by providing experience in selecting a study project, mastering the necessary library and research techniques for assembling data and devising suitable means of evaluation. In independent study the student has the responsibility for planning, implementing, and presenting the project, where applicable. The faculty sponsor approves the project, meets with the student several times in the term, and evaluates the final results.
INTERNSHIP (12 units)
391 and 491: Intended for students in their junior or senior year who want to immerse themselves in a full-time work experience. An internship is a partnership between the student, Marymount College and a company or organization. The student will work closely with a facultly mentor and the Career Services Office to develop appropriate learning outcomes and to identify an organization/company offering a comprehensive experience focused on research, analysis and specific areas of interest in a structured work environment under the supervision of a faculty mentor.
Total Unit Limitation
Marymount places no limit on the total number of units a student may accumulate while enrolled. However, most four-year colleges/universities limit the number of units a student may transfer from a two-year college. Therefore, each student is responsible to work closely with his/her academic advisor to establish and complete a program of study at Marymount that will enable the student to accumulate an optimal number of units relative to degree and/or transfer goals.
Transcript Holds
Transcripts will be placed on hold when there is an outstanding obligation to the College. These obligations include but are not limited to an outstanding balance due the College; outstanding library or other loaned instructional materials; outstanding parking violations; and incomplete sanctions imposed as a result of violations of the College’s Student Code of Conduct and Academic Integrity Policies. This hold will remain until the account balance is paid in full and/or until the obligation has been satisfied.
Full Courses
Classes at Marymount have limited enrollment. Students who try to preregister for a class that has reached its limit will need to register for another section of the same course. If an enrolled student does not attend the first class meeting, the instructor may give that student’s place in class to a student who wishes to add the course. A student is not enrolled into a course until he/she brings an Add Form with an advisor’s signature to the Registrar’s Office before the deadline for adding courses.
Withdrawing from a Course
After the add/drop deadline, a student may withdraw from a course until the established deadline to withdraw, published in the Catalog. A course from which a student has withdrawn will remain on the transcript with a grade of “W.” A grade of “W” does not affect the student’s GPA.
Withdrawal from the College
A student who wishes to completely withdraw from the College must secure a withdrawal form from the Registrar and obtain the specified signatures. The completed form must be returned to the Registrar by the last day of the semester prior to finals week. Only then does the withdrawal become official. Failure to follow the prescribed procedure will result in an “F” for all courses in progress. Please refer to page 172 for the schedule of refunds. A student who withdraws from the College during a term will receive grades of “W” for that term’s courses. In keeping with the refund schedule on page 172, a student who leaves the College during the add/ drop period will receive a grade of “W” for all coursework registered. However, grades already recorded (e.g. for half-semester classes) will remain on the transcript. Withdrawal from the College does not relieve the student from any account balance that remains. Please reference the Schedule of Refunds for refund policy and amounts.
