Grade Changes
Occasionally a student may receive a final grade that is in error. If this happens, the student should discuss the error with the instructor. The deadline for grade changes is Friday of the first week of the subsequent term. The Program Dean must approved each change. A new grade report will be available in the Registrar's Office when processing is complete.
For a complete explanation of grading, please refer to the DeVry Academic Catalog.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
DeVry expects students to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress toward completion of their program of study. Satisfactory academic progress is movement from one academic level to the next within a prescribed time frame. Satisfactory academic progress is supported by academic policies and may affect financial aid eligibility. For details on the provisions of this policy, contact your Program Dean. For information concerning academic year progress status, refer to the DeVry Academic Catalog. Students failing to meet satisfactory academic progress requirements must file a written appeal with the Registrar's Office before additional enrollment will be allowed.
For detailed information, please refer to the DeVry Student Handbook.
Withdrawal from a Course
Satisfactory academic progress is supported by the structure of DeVry curricula and limitations are placed on withdrawing from a course. The last day a student may withdraw from a course and receive a grade of W is anytime before the final exam. After this day, individual course withdrawals will result in a final grade of F. Students who withdraw from a course by the second Friday of the semester, will receive a full refund.
Before you decide to withdraw from a course, please consider:
1. You may change your student enrollment status from full-time to part-time. This will change your financial aid status.
2. You may lose your eligibility for Financial Aid.
3. Students may not enroll in a course more than twice unless approved by the Dean of Academic Affairs.
4. You will not be guaranteed admission in the course in the subsequent term.
5. The course may not be offered in the immediate next term.
If you wish to withdraw from a course, go to the Registrar's Office in Academics.
For detailed information, please refer to the DeVry Student Handbook

Returning Students

Program Changes
Program changes should be considered very seriously before requests are made. When you are certain that you want to change programs, you should see your Program Dean and/or Academic Advisor to discuss the implications. The Financial Aid Office should also be consulted when considering a change.
Some issues that you should discuss with your Program Dean and/or Academic Advisor are:
1. Which of your credits will transfer from program to program?
2. Will your GPA transfer from program to program?
3. Will you have to meet any additional entrance requirements of the new program?
4. Will your program transfer require additional semesters to complete your degree?
5. Can you change programs while on academic probation?
There are no applications or deadlines for a program change for the next semester. Please contact your Program Dean and/or Academic Advisor for such changes.
