“Continuous Enrollment Requirements” should be replaced with the following:

Continuous Enrollment Policies

Argosy University Campus-Based Programs

Matriculated students must be continuously enrolled in the program from the time of matriculation through graduation. Enrollment in any part of an academic semester satisfies this requirement (e.g., enrollment in a single 7.5-week session).
Students who must take time off request temporary withdrawal from Argosy University. Students seeking temporary withdrawal status must provide an expected date of return and receive approval from student services. Students approved for temporary withdrawal may re-enter their program at any time prior to the anticipated return date without approval. Failure to re-enter Argosy University by the expected date of return will result in withdrawal from Argosy University. Students are permitted to take up to three semesters of temporary withdrawal. The three semesters may be taken either consecutively or intermittently. Students using federal financial aid need to consult their financial aid advisor prior to seeking a temporary withdrawal from Argosy University.

In accordance with U.S. federal regulations, international students in valid nonimmigrant status must maintain full-time enrollment as stipulated in this catalog (see below). It is the student’s responsibility to stay abreast of all requirements for maintaining appropriate student status. Nonimmigrant students are urged to periodically review all federal requirements for maintaining proper status, including those for full-time study, with the campus International Student Advisor. Students who do not register for the current semester will be considered withdrawn from the program.

Argosy University Online Programs

Students enrolled in Argosy University Online Programs who take a break of 29 consecutive calendar days or less remain continuously enrolled and are classified as a full-time student. Students who need to take a break of longer than 29 days should contact their Academic Advisor and request a Leave of Absence. Students who have not attended class for over 29 consecutive calendar days are considered withdrawn from the University unless they have an approved Leave of Absence on file. If a student does not return from an approved Leave of Absence, the official withdrawal date and beginning of the loan grace period (if applicable) is the last date of class attendance.

Leave of Absence (Argosy University Online Programs)

Overall Considerations

Students who are enrolled in Argosy University Online Programs may request a Leave of Absence. A Leave of Absence is not available to students enrolled in campus-based programs (including those campus-based students who are taking online courses).

Students enrolled in Argosy University Online Programs who take a break of 29 consecutive calendar days or less remain continuously enrolled and are classified as a full-time student. Students who need to take a break longer than 29 consecutive calendar days should contact their Academic Counselor and request a Leave of Absence. Refer to “Leave of Absence Procedures” described below.

Students enrolled in Argosy University Online Programs who have not attended class for over 29 consecutive calendar days are considered withdrawn from Argosy University unless they have an approved Leave of Absence on file.

Signed Leave of Absence forms submitted after 29 consecutive calendar days of the last date of attendance will not be accepted.

Leave of Absence Procedures

Students enrolled in Argosy University Online Programs may request a Leave of Absence under two instances:

  1. Future Leave of Absence: A student may request a Leave of Absence to take place at a date that occurs while s/he is not enrolled in a course. Students who request a Future Leave of Absence must submit a signed Leave of Absence Request Form to their Academic Counselor 14 calendar days prior to the effective date of the Leave of Absence.

If extenuating circumstances prevent a student from submitting a Leave of Absence Request Form prior to 14 calendar days before the effective date of the Leave of Absence, the Leave of Absence form will be accepted on a case by case basis. Qualifying extenuating circumstances include military deployment, extended serious medical emergencies, extended serious family emergencies, jury duty, or natural disasters.

  1. Immediate Leave of Absence: A student may request a Leave of Absence to take place immediately due to extenuating circumstances while s/he is enrolled in a course. Students who request an immediate Leave of Absence must submit a signed Leave of Absence Request Form to their Academic Counselor. Forms will be accepted on a case by case basis Qualifying extenuating circumstances include military deployment, extended serious medical emergencies, extended serious family emergencies, jury duty, or natural disasters.

Students may not request an immediate Leave of Absence after the last day of week 3 of a 5 week class.

In the event of a natural disaster, Argosy University will evaluate the need for the impacted student in the disaster zone to be automatically placed on an approved Leave of Absence.

Additional Leave of Absence or an Extension of a Current Leave of Absence

Students are limited to no more than two Leaves of Absence of 60 calendar days or less within a 12-month period. Students may be granted an additional Leave of Absence or an extension of a current Leave of Absence due to extenuating circumstances. Students who request an additional Leave of Absence or an extension to a current Leave of Absence must submit a signed Leave of Absence form to their Academic Counselor. The form must explain the extenuating circumstances that require an additional Leave of Absence or an extension of a current Leave of Absence. Extenuating circumstances include military deployment, extended serious medical emergencies, extended serious family emergencies, jury duty, or natural disasters. Requests for an additional Leave of Absence or an extension of a current Leave of Absence must be received 15 calendar days prior to the end of the current Leave of Absence. Leaves of Absence (including extensions) may not exceed 180 calendar days in a 12-month period.

Returning from an Approved Leave of Absence

Students returning from an approved Leave of Absence that was granted while they were enrolled in a course will be allowed to complete coursework started prior to the leave with no additional tuition and/or fee charges assessed. The University allows students who begin a Leave of Absence during a course to withdraw with an Approved Tuition Waiver for a Future Course. Although students will not be charged for the subsequent course, students must re-take the entire course.

If a student does not return from an approved Leave of Absence, the official withdrawal date and beginning of the loan grace period (if applicable) is the last date of class attendance.

Leaves of Absence may not exceed 180 calendar days in a 12-month period. The 12-month period begins the first day of the first Leave of Absence. Students who fail to return on the 180th calendar day will be administratively withdrawn from Argosy University.

Argosy University strongly urges all students to register for their entire course schedule during the official registration period. However, if students elect to add a course after the official registration period, they may do so by completing the Add/Drop Request Form. Adds after the official start date of a course must have registrar approval. No adds will be allowed after the end of the add/drop period.
Students will not be permitted to add a course after the end of the add/drop period.

For intersessions, students are not allowed to enter the course after its official start date. Unless otherwise authorized, students are not allowed to enter an online course after the second day of a 7.5-week course and after the fifth day of a 15-week course.

Students who want to drop a class may do so by submitting a signed and dated Add/Drop Request Form to the Student Services Department or by doing so online.

Credits earned in any completed graduate level degree program may not apply as transfer credits into an Argosy University graduate level degree program. Such credits may provide opportunities for course waivers in an Argosy University graduate level degree program as defined in Section Seven, Academic Policies and Procedures under “Waiver/Course Substitution .” This limitation on transfer credit applies to degrees earned at Argosy University or other higher education institutions with exceptions granted for specific Argosy University degree programs in which the coursework for one graduate degree is approved as credited for another graduate degree.

Update

The following update applies to Section Seven, Academic Policies and Procedures .

Attendance ” should be replaced with the following:

Attendance

Campus-Based Programs

Students are expected to be punctual to all classes and practicum. Absences should occur only for such urgent reasons as ill health or critical emergency. Whenever possible, students should notify the faculty of these absences in advance. Excessive late arrivals or absences, regardless of the reason, may jeopardize a student’s academic standing.

Attendance requirements are met by (a) attending a face-to-face course session at the campus or other class location, or (b) substantive online activity, including commentary in the discussion section of the online classroom and posting of required evaluative assignments in a timely manner.

Online courses start on the first day of the semester or session. A student who does not participate in the course prior to the Add/Drop date for the session, and has not submitted an official Add/Drop Form, will be dropped from the course automatically and receive a refund based on the applicable Argosy University refund policy. Also, students who fail to attend both on-ground and online course activities for 14 consecutive days will be administratively withdrawn from the course.
Attendance is not equivalent to participation. Student grades will be impacted by the frequency and quality of participation in class, whether face-to-face or online, consistent with the requirements of the particular course and as outlined in the course syllabus.

In blended courses (those consisting of in-residence and online components), students missing equal to or greater than 30% of face to face instruction time or two or more weeks of no online participation will receive an automatic “F” grade in the course.

Argosy University Online Programs

Students enrolled in Argosy University Online programs must complete an academic related activity in their course at least two days each week. Academic activity is defined by (a) posting a substantive response in a discussion section of the online classroom, (b) engaging in online tutorials, (c) submitting an assignment via the online classroom, or (d) taking an exam.
Students who fail to meet the attendance requirements for a week will be given an absence for that week. Students who fail to meet the attendance requirements for 2 consecutive weeks during a course will be administratively withdrawn from the course. Students who are dropped for not meeting attendance requirements and do not attend class within 29 consecutive calendar days of their last date of attendance will be administratively withdrawn from school.
For online classes beginning on a Tuesday, the attendance week is defined as beginning on Tuesday at 12:00 am Mountain Time (MT) to 11:59 pm MT the following Monday. The last week of a 7.5week class begins on Tuesday at 12:00 am MT and ends on the following Thursday at 11:59 pm MT.

For online classes beginning on Friday, the attendance week is defined as beginning on Friday at 12:00 am MT to 11:59 pm MT the following Thursday. The last week of a 7.5 week class begins on Friday at 12:00 am MT and ends on the following Sunday at 11:59 pm MT.

Standards for Academic Progress

To maintain academic progress, each student must meet the required standards of the following three criteria:

  • Maintain a minimum acceptable cumulative grade point average (CGPA);
  • Achieve the minimum incremental completion rate (ICR); and
  • Complete the program within a maximum allowable time frame
Cumulative Grade Point Average

To continue enrollment in an academic program, students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.00 or above. CGPA is reviewed at the end of each evaluation point. Students who fall below the aforementioned CGPA cutoffs are deemed to be on Academic Probation. Students who fail to raise their CGPA above the cutoffs at the next evaluation point (See “Academic Probation ” described below) are deemed as not making Satisfactory Academic Progress and are academically dismissed.

Incremental Completion Rate

To continue enrollment in an academic program, students must successfully complete at least 66.67 percent of the cumulative course credit hours attempted at Argosy University. The incremental completion rate (ICR) is reviewed at each evaluation point.

Maximum Allowable Time Frame

Students must successfully complete all program requirements within 150 percent of the program length based in credit hours.

The maximum allowable time frame is calculated as a period of time during which a student attempts 1.5 times the number of credit hours required to complete the program.

Examples

  • Students enrolled in a 36 credit program can attempt up to 54 credit hours.
  • Students enrolled in a 60 credit program can attempt up to 90 credit hours.

All grades are included in the maximum allowable credit hours and incremental completion rate calculations. Transfer credits that reduce total program credit hour requirements will reduce the maximum allowable credits attempted at Argosy University. Students may also be required to meet calendar maximum timeframe requirements in certain programs and should review the graduation requirements listed in the program description.

Students may not attempt more than 150% of the credits required to complete their degree program. Students who attempt credits beyond 150% of the credits required to complete their degree program will be dismissed from Argosy University.
