All transfers must be approved by the Assistant Dean. Because sustained classroom activity is important, the college aims to make class transfers infrequent and minimally disruptive. In the case of unavoidable schedule conflicts, the student should consult with the Registrar at the beginning of the semester. If a transfer is desired for other reasons, the student should speak first to the tutor of the class in order to explain the difficulties, and attempt to resolve them. Failing this, the student should then meet with the Assistant Dean.
The first meeting with the Assistant Dean will concern how the student might continue well in class. After that discussion, the Assistant Dean may consult with the tutors involved. If he considers a transfer advisable, the Assistant Dean will approve it, contingent on the approval of the student’s current tutor and the tutor into whose class the student would transfer. With their approval, the student may obtain a transfer form from the Assistant Dean. The completion of this form and submission to the Office of the Registrar will make the transfer complete and formal. In certain rare circumstances, it may be in the best interests of a student or students in the class that a student be moved to a different class; in that situation, the Assistant Dean may transfer a student without the current tutor’s approval. To preserve the integrity of the semester when a transfer is made, tutors are asked to verify on the request form that all assigned class work has been completed, and may be asked to write separately a brief comment for the don rag committee.
The Assistant Dean will not approve class transfers during the first three weeks of the semester.
A student is not ordinarily permitted to register for a part of the program in which he or she has previously registered unless he or she either has withdrawn before completing the semester or has completed the semester with a failing grade. Students who return to the college after withdrawing past the eighth week of the semester will be considered as repeating for transcript purposes. The transcript will reflect the class as repeated.
Audio and video recording of oral examinations or classes is not allowed, even if the person doing the recording asks permission of the tutor and classmates. Recording adversely affects the candor, the tentative character, and the spontaneity of the process being taped. It raises privacy issues and it places people in the awkward position of having to say no if they might not want to be recorded but are under pressure, however tacit, from others who strongly wish to do it or see no reason not to.
