Summer 2001 Schedule Bulletin

Abilene Christian University

General Information
Please read carefully.

Auditing Courses

Students who wish to audit a course should see the chair of the involved department the first day of class.

Course Load

The standard course load is 3 hours for a Maymester and 6 hours for each Summer term. Undergraduates may take 1 additional hour each term if their combined study and work load permits. Graduate students must obtain permission from the dean of the Graduate School (Administration Building, Rom 204) to take the additional hour.

Credit by Exam

Students who wish to attempt credit by exam, or to challenge a course in which they are enrolled, must take the exam on the first day of a short course or during the first two days of a Summer or Maymester term to receive a 100 percent tuition refund.

Credit/No-credit Option

Students with a least 30 semester hours of credit and a GPA of at least 2.0 may take electives outside their major department for a credit/no-credit grade. For details and forms, go to the Registrar's office (Administration Building, Room 207) after enrollment. This option may only be selected during the first day of Maymester or the first two days of a Summer term.

Pass/Fail Option

Students may take Exercise Science activity courses pass/fail except for EXSC 100. Any students who wish to do so must complete a petition in the Registrar's office within the first day of Maymester or the first two days of a Summer term.

Repeating Courses

If a student makes a low grade in an ACU course and chooses to repeat the course at ACU, only the more current grade will be counted in the student's GPA at ACU. The student must specify that the course is a repeat course at the time of registration. For graduate-level courses and undergraduate courses taken after the bachelor's degree has been awarded, both grades are counted. Transfer credit does not affect GPA at ACU.

Short Courses

Short courses are defined as classes whose duration is less than a traditional summer session. Students who register for a "short course" should contact the instructor well before the first day for a syllabus, information about advance reading assignments, and any other special instructions. Short courses also generally require a post-course assignment.

Housing

Maymester students who wish to live on campus should apply through the Housing office in McKinzie Hall, ACU Box 29004. Summer I and II students will be housed in University Park Apartments. Call 738-4300 for information.

Registration Schedule

New this year &endash; the date you may begin to register depends on your classification. To determine your classification, go to "Web for Students" (my.acu.edu). Click on records, then transcript. Cumulative Earned Hours are at the end of your transcript.

Additional information about degree requirements or university regulations may be found in the general catalog.

There is no withdrawal after a weekend course begins. Withdrawal may negatively affect a student's financial aid package.
