Gender Female HSC No, the only way to get a good GPA is to attend lectures and tutes and participate do your assignments, study and put in some effort.

So you're saying that either UWS has fewer high marks, or that it attracts more students who perform better in university than high school? Tabris Member. Students in their final year may work at the rate of 12 credits each term, as long as all degree requirements will be met by the end of their final semester.

Brandeis University recognizes that students with certain medical conditions may find learning challenging in the current COVID environment. To this end, we are adjusting our academic policies for the Fall and Spring semesters with regard to medical underloads. Typically, students with medical conditions face two choices, either to withdraw from the semester with the corresponding tuition refund or to be enrolled full time with a minimum of 12 credit hours.

In each semester, there are students who experience medical conditions which severely impact the ability of the student to successfully complete 12 credits. Students who are in this situation may request a medical underload which allows a student to drop to 8 credits. Requests for medical underloads are typically submitted starting in the eighth week of the semester.

Because of the challenges associated with COVID, Brandeis is amending its medical underload policy for the academic year. Students who have documented medical conditions that became apparent before the start of either the fall or spring semester of this academic year or in the first five weeks of the term in this academic year will have the option to enroll in eight credits for either the fall term or the spring term While no tuition reduction will be granted for this reduced enrollment, students will be able to enroll in two summer school classes in summer at no charge.

Students will be responsible for room and board charges if they live on campus for the fall , spring or summer terms. The review process will be the same as for other medical underloads. Students should work closely with their academic advisor when amending their schedule.

The choice of summer school classes is more limited than in the fall and spring terms. Therefore, careful academic planning is essential.

The minimum number of credits required for advancement to each class is as follows: sophomore: 24; junior: 56; senior: The minimum number of credits required for graduation is Any degree-seeking undergraduate student who has been in residence for two semesters, and who has a complete and satisfactory record from the preceding semester, is eligible for a leave of absence. A leave of absence is granted for one or two semesters and may be extended once only.

Normally, leaves are arranged in advance through the Office of Academic Services. On an exceptional basis, personal leave may be granted for a semester in progress, in which case permission must be secured from the Office of Academic Services no later than the 20th day of instruction.

Students are required to submit a written petition to the Executive Council of the Committee on Academic Standing through the Office of Academic Services requesting to return. Requests must be submitted at least 30 days prior to the first day of instruction of the term in which they wish to register. Credit will not be granted for academic work taken at other institutions during a leave of absence. Leave of Absence for Health Reasons. During a leave of absence for health reasons, students may take two courses eight credits per semester for a maximum of four courses 16 credits and receive numeric course credit.

Coursework taken over the maximum may be approved for use towards general University requirements and requirements for the major or minor. Courses must be approved by the Office of the University Registrar prior to enrollment.

Course credits may count toward the credits needed for graduation as defined in the academic residency requirement. Both processes are managed through the Office of Academic Services. The HLOA Committee will evaluate the documentation submitted by a student's health care provider, and determine whether the health condition in question has been adequately alleviated for return to rigorous study. The Committee on Academic Standing will then review the student's overall academic record, their academic progress for the semester in which the student withdrew, and their readiness to successfully make academic progress toward graduation.

Voluntary Withdrawal from the University. A student wishing to withdraw from the university may do so at any time up to and inclusive of the last day of instruction. Withdrawals requested after the last day of instruction must be approved by the Committee on Academic Standing. From students who withdraw in good standing, the Committee on Academic Standing will consider applications for readmission after one full semester of absence from the campus.

Other students may apply for readmission after one calendar year has elapsed. Courses taken at other institutions while on withdrawal from the university are not eligible for transfer toward the Brandeis degree.

Senior reduced-rate status enables seniors who have completed all requirements and who wish to take additional courses in their eighth and final term to take one or more semester courses and to pay at the per-course rate. Reduced-rate is only for one semester. To qualify for this status seniors must have:. Course Load Requirement: There is no minimum course load requirement. Students can take as few as one class or as many as 3 classes under Senior Reduced Status.

If 4 classes are taken, regular full-time semester tuition is charged. Transfer students who transfer in fewer than 64 credits may qualify for reduced rate in their final semester, if their final semester is their fifth semester or greater. To qualify, seniors petition through the Office of the University Registrar for this status.

The deadline to submit a petition is October 5. Final eligibility for reduced rate status must be determined before the first day of instruction in the spring term. Completing and submitting the reduced rate petition does not guarantee approval will be granted.

Otherwise, permission to carry fewer courses than outlined above may be granted only by the Committee on Academic Standing and only on grounds of illness or personal hardship. Permission to work at the six-course-per-semester rate may be granted by the committee and will incur additional tuition charges. A student who has completed eight semesters of study at Brandeis or the equivalent in the case of transfer students and who has earned a minimum of semester-course credits equivalent to 30 four-credit courses is eligible for extended credit status.

Extended credit courses may be taken over the summer at Brandeis or elsewhere or during the academic year either at Brandeis with tuition being charged on a per-course basis, or at another university if the student has not already transferred in the maximum number of courses allowed. Students who complete their course work on extended credit status are awarded their degrees at the end of the first term following the evaluation and posting of the extended credit to their academic records.

Students who do not meet the above criteria eight semesters and course credits are not eligible for this option and must petition for a ninth semester in residence through the Office of Academic Services.

Registration and course enrollment occur prior to the beginning of each semester. During the first two weeks of each term, students finalize their course selections in consultation with their advisors. Final course enrollment materials are filed at the end of that period. Requests to add classes after the second week after the end of the registration period must be submitted to the Committee on Academic Standing.

Petitions to add classes through late enrollment must be initiated in the Office of Academic Services ; such requests are granted only in exceptional circumstances. Instructors are not authorized to override enrollment deadlines, hence permission of an instructor is not sufficient for late enrollment. Similarly, the desire to drop a class, or to maintain a particular rate of work for a term, is not grounds for late enrollment in another class.

Students who wish to drop a course, providing they adhere to the constraints of rate of work, may do so on or before the deadline announced in the university calendar, normally the 50th day of instruction. Students who drop courses before the 30th day of instruction may drop without record.
