Enrollment Limits and Transfer of Credits
As an non-degree student you may accumulate more than 18 credits only if you do not wish to participate in a degree program at Ithaca College; you must then sign a statement to that effect. No more than 12 graduate credits taken on an non-degree basis may be applied to a graduate degree at Ithaca College.
Credits earned on an non-degree basis may be transferred to an Ithaca College degree program, although this transfer is not guaranteed. All transfers of credits are subject to approval by the appropriate dean. If you wish to enter an undergraduate degree program, you must apply to the Office of Admission, (www.ithaca.edu/admission). Application for graduate study should be made to the Division of Graduate Studies, (www.ithaca.edu/gradstudies).
Prerequisites
Some courses have prerequisites. Check the current undergraduate or graduate catalog for course descriptions and prerequisites. A mathematics placement examination is generally required for students who wish to enroll in a mathematics course. Contact the mathematics department at 607-274-3107.
Likewise, students who wish to take a course offered by the writing department should plan to take the writing placement exam. Contact the department at 607-274-3138 to arrange for the exam.
Enrollment in graduate courses requires permission from the graduate chair.
Active high school students need to provide a letter from their high school guidance counselor which gives permission for the student to enroll in Ithaca College courses.
Audit
Auditing is a way for you to attend classes without receiving college credit. The fee to audit is $96 per credit hour plus a $15 registration fee. The notation "AU" will appear on your transcript. Since no credit is earned, the course cannot be transferred to another college. You may audit a class if space is available and the instructor gives permission. The Roy H. Park School of Communications requires that you obtain departmental approval to audit lab or production courses. Summer courses may not be audited, although graduate-level music workshops may be taken during the summer on a noncredit basis at a reduced rate.
Suspension, Dismissal, Withdrawal, Leave
Students who are suspended, dismissed, have withdrawn, or are on leave of absence from any school at Ithaca College are not eligible to register as extramural students.
Drops, Withdrawals, and Refunds
If your schedule or obligations change after registration, you may wish to drop or withdraw from a course. To do so, contact the Division of Graduate and Professional Studies. Note the deadlines listed in the fall and spring academic calendars. Partial refunds are available for early withdrawals only. Contact the bursar's office, 607-274-3135, for specifics.
Transcripts
You can request a transcript of your academic record at Ithaca College by writing or faxing the registrar's office (Ithaca College, 228 Job Hall, Ithaca, NY 14850-7014; fax: 607-274-1366). A request form can be printed from www.ithaca.edu/registrar/transcript.htm. Phone requests cannot be taken. There is no charge for the transcript.
With approval, credit for courses taken as an extramural student may be applied to a degree program at Ithaca College or transferred to another institution.
Immunization Requirements
Under New York State regulations any student registered for six credits or more per semester must present proof of immunization for measles, mumps, and rubella. Forms are available from the Division of Graduate and Professional Studies before and during registration and should be returned to the continuing education office within two weeks of your registration. If you were born after January 1, 1957, your immunization form must be filled out and certified by a physician or other authorized individual.
Meningitis Immunization Information
New York State Public Health law section 2167 requires that colleges and universities distribute information about meningococcal meningitis disease to all students enrolled for six or more credit hours per semester. At the time of registration you will be given an information sheet about meningitis and asked to sign a meningococcal meningitis response form.
Health Form for Physical Education Courses
At the first class meeting of physical education courses, all students must sign a form that details the responsibilities of students in physical activity courses.
Academic Standards
Extramural students must meet the same academic standards as degree students. Students enrolled at the undergraduate level must maintain a 2.0 (C) average, and students at the graduate level must maintain a 3.0 (B) average. All dismissals from the extramural program are at the discretion of the Division of Graduate and Professional Studies.
