to capacity, seek the instructor’s permission prior to the start of classes or attend class on the first class meeting day.

Students will be placed on the wait list in the order that they contact the department administrative assistant. Wait lists will not be kept for the labs.

As seats open in a closed lecture section, the department will contact the student and provide the student with a permission number which is used to add the class through ecampus. If a student does not want to take the course because of placement in an alternative lab day or time, it is that student’s responsibility to use ecampus or to contact the Office of the Registrar to drop the ENTIRE course (lecture and lab sections).

Financial Rights and Responsibility

Students assume responsibility for all costs incurred as a result of enrollment at Santa Clara University. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of their account balance and financial aid information, and maintain current valid address information at all times to ensure receipt of all University correspondence in a timely manner.

The tuition status of an undergraduate student is determined at the end of the late registration period. No adjustment is made to tuition charges for enrollment changes after the end of the late registration period, unless the student withdraws from the University.

The tuition status of a graduate student is determined by the date the course is dropped or the date in which the student withdraws from the University.

Students who drop courses or withdraw from the University are eligible for a refund of tuition charges according to the University’s refund policies. The effective date used to determine any refund of tuition is the date on which notification of withdrawal is received by the Office of the Registrar, not the last date of attendance by the student. Neither dropping all courses via e-campus nor informing an individual faculty member, an academic department, or the Dean’s Office constitutes an official withdrawal from the University. The official date of withdrawal from the University cannot be backdated prior to the date on which the student submits the applicable withdrawal form or notification to the Office of the Registrar.

Late Payments: Please note the following policies regarding late payments and delinquent accounts:

Accounts remaining unpaid by each month's payment deadline are subject to a late payment fee. Loans funds or any other sources of financial aid not reflecting on a students account by the payment deadline are also subject to late fees.

All accounts must be paid in full in order for students to enroll in succeeding terms or to receive copies of certificates, diplomas, and transcripts.

The University reserves the right to recover all costs related to the collection of delinquent accounts. In addition, delinquent accounts will accrue interest at the maximum legal rate once placed in a collection status.

The University reserves the right to cancel the registration of any student if a balance due from a previous term remains unpaid at the start of a subsequent term.

1. Academic Regulations The academic regulations that apply in the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters also apply to the Summer quarter. Courses taken during the Summer quarter are included in the records of matriculated SCU students for the determination of GPA, class level, honors, probation, and disqualification. Any student not permitted to register during the academic year (i.e., disqualified, suspension) may not take summer school classes at SCU.

2. Administrative Withdrawal / Drop Policy The Administrative Withdraw policy is not in effect in the Summer as it is during the regular

school year. Students who are officially enrolled in a class and fail to attend the first and any subsequent class meetings will remain enrolled in the class, and be responsible for paying all tuition and fees associated with the class.

It is the student’s responsibility to drop a course if they are unable to attend due to changes in the class schedule or personal obligations.

Non-attendance does NOT relieve a student of the obligation to pay tuition and fees. In addition to paying full tuition and fees, an academic hold will be placed on the student’s account to prevent any further registration transactions.

Students who do not formally drop a class for which they are officially enrolled will receive an “F” grade for the course(s), and be liable for all tuition and fees incurred during the Summer.

Students must formally drop a course via ecampus or by submitting a Drop Form to the Office of the Registrar located in the Walsh Administration building prior to the published deadlines.

3. Auditing Courses Degree-seeking students may audit one course in addition to the Summer Program course load limit on a space available basis with a charge of $100 course audit fee. Permission to audit is given by the instructor by the last day to add a class. Submit completed audit forms to the Office of the Registrar by the last day to add a class and no later than one week thereafter. Non-SCU or non-degree seeking SCU students may not audit courses.

4. Course Load Limits Policy / Overload Policy There is NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE COURSE LOAD POLICY for the Summer Program. Students who register for more than the maximum course load will be administratively withdrawn from the course that creates the overload. Students who add overload units in violation of this policy may not receive credit for the course that causes the policy violation. The intensive pace of Sessions 1, 2, and 3 require the following restrictions on Summer course loads: Session 1: Students may not enroll in or attend more than two courses at any time during this

session. Session 2: Students may not enroll in or attend more than two courses at any time during this

session. Session 3 (A, B, C): Student may not enroll in or attend more than one Session 3 lab science

(Chemistry or Physics) course at a time. If you are enrolled in or attending a Session 3 lab science course, you may not be simultaneously enrolled in or attending any Session 1, 2, or 4 course. If you are enrolled in or attending a Session 3 non-lab science course, you may be simultaneously enrolled in or attend no more than one contemporaneous Session 1, 2, or 4 course.

Session 4: You may carry up to 15 units in Session 4 courses (N.B. this does not apply if you are also registered for Session 1, 2, or 3 courses.)

Session 5: Contact the International Programs office at 408-554-6940 for course load restrictions.



5. Course Cancellations SCU reserves the right to make changes in the schedules or policies without prior notice. We have done our best to ensure the accuracy of the information in this Summer Schedule of Classes or our website www.scu.edu/cas/summer . However, certain statements may need to be corrected or changed. Please carefully check “My Class Schedule” on ecampus for any changes. If a classroom assignment has been changed, information about the new room location will be posted outside the originally-listed classroom. If a course is cancelled, the Summer Session Office will immediately send a notification to your SCU GroupWise email account. It is very important that you check this account regularly.

6. Course Numbering System Courses numbered 1 through 99 are lower-division courses for which students generally receive four quarter units of credit. Lower-division courses are recommended for freshmen and sophomores. The upper-division courses are numbered 100 through 199, and students generally receive five quarter units of credit. Upper-division courses are recommended for juniors and seniors.

7. Enrollment Confirmations Via Ecampus All students can retrieve their course schedules online via ecampus to confirm their enrollment in Summer courses. Course confirmations will not be mailed by the University.

8. Enrollment and Course Restriction Policy Students may not sit in classes without formally enrolling. Credit is not given to students who

attend class without formally enrolling and paying for tuition. Students must be officially registered in classes based on the procedures outlined in the Summer Program class schedule and must have paid all tuition and fees by the published deadlines.

The instructor’s signature on an add form after the add period does not constitute a formal enrollment without tuition payment. Initial registration or class additions will not be accepted beyond the late registration/add period as set forth in the Summer Program Calendar on the front page of this class schedule.

Students who enroll in a course for which they are not eligible are subject to administrative withdrawal from that course. During the first week of class, the instructor may notify the Registrar to drop you from the course if you did not fulfill the following course restriction requirements: Freshmen enrolled in upper division courses, Students who have not satisfied any course prerequisites stated in the Bulletin or Class

Schedule, or Students who have not obtained the instructor’s permission as specified in certain courses.



9. Independent Study Eligible Juniors and Seniors may pursue independent study through Directed Study, Directed Research, Practicum or Internships. No more than four independent study courses can be used to satisfy graduation requirements, and no more than one independent study course per term may be taken. To register for an independent study course, students must submit completed Independent Study petitions to the Office of the Registrar after approval is received from the Drahmann Advising and Learning Resources Center. Forms are due by the last day to add a class. Most independent study courses cannot be added through ecampus. Contact the specific academic department for more information.

10. Internships Only continuing Santa Clara University students who have completed at least 88 units are eligible to enroll for summer internships that are no more than ten units. To receive academic credit for a summer internship a student must complete the appropriate paperwork with the faculty member supervising the summer internship, register, and pay summer tuition for the units sought. Departments other than those listed in the catalog also may offer summer internships. Interested students should inquire in individual departments.

11. New Students Accepted in the Fall 2012 New students who have been accepted at SCU for the Fall quarter (both transfers and freshmen) should contact the Drahmann Academic Advising and Learning Resources Center at 408-554-4318 before registration to receive academic advising.

12. Pass/No Pass Grading Option A junior or senior with a declared major may choose to take an elective course Pass/No Pass. An elective course is one other than a University, school or department requirement. One course per quarter, with a maximum of six, may be selected. Under the P/NP option, work equivalent to a grade of C- is not passing. The P/NP option must be selected by the last day to drop a class without a W as listed on the Summer Calendar and is not reversible after that time. If you wish to change the grade option to P/NP after you enroll in a class, you must do so in person at the Office of the Registrar

13. Performance Standards in the Sciences Prerequisites for courses in lower-division sequences in Biology (21,22,23,24), Physics (31,32,33,34; 11,12,13), and Chemistry (11,12,13,14; 31,32,33) will include completion of the prior course in the sequence with a grade of C- or better. Students who do not meet this standard will not be permitted to enroll in the next course of the sequence. For further information, contact the Biology, Chemistry, or Physics department.

Repetition of Courses Students may repeat a course in which they receive less than a C-. All courses, whether repeated or not, are included in the GPA calculation, but units will be awarded only once for a passed course. A few courses are designated as repeatable and you may enroll in them for credit and a grade each time.
