Registrar Policies
ACADEMIC APPEALS
All students who have been academically dismissed must submit an appeal to their program advisor. The appeal must include an explanation of the circumstances that led to the dismissal, and a plan that includes the steps the student will take to return to good standing. Students whose appeals have been denied by their program advisor may submit a separate appeal to their program dean. All decisions on appeals will be made by Wednesday of Week 2.
ATTENDANCE
All students must swipe their ID cards everyday their classes or labs are in session in order to receive credit for attendance. Four consecutive absences from a class or lab may result in a course dismissal. Four consecutive absences from all classes will lead to a dismissal from school. Students will receive a written warning by mail of their potential dismissal. Failure to respond will lead to dismissal. All course and attendance dismissal appeal forms can be submitted to the Attendance Coordinator in rm.223. All appeals must be approved by the program dean. Lost or broken ID cards can be replaced in Student Services in rm.319.
ADD/DROP
Students may add classes to their schedule up until the Saturday of Week 1. All classes to be added must have approval from a program dean or designee. Classes can be dropped up until the Saturday of Week 2. Any class that has been dropped will not appear on a student transcript. All transactions that change a student's status from PT to FT or FT to PT, must be approved by Financial Aid. Please keep in mind that during this add/drop period, any student who drops a course will be billed up until the last day the class was attended. Students who withdraw anytime after the add/drop period will be billed the entire tuition cost of the course.
ADDRESS CHANGES
Address changes can now be made online using OSS. Each time a student logs into their account, they will be prompted to update their personal information or verify that it has not changed. Any address changes can be made at that time.
COURSE WITHDRAWALS
Beginning Week 3, students may withdraw from standard courses. The withdrawal period for standard courses ends the Saturday of Week 11. Accelerated students can withdraw from a course up until the Saturday before final exams. Tuition is charged for all courses that are withdrawn, and there is a record on the transcript that the course has been attempted.
DEVELOPMENTAL COURSES
Students enrolled in a developmental class must successfully complete the course on the first attempt. Withdrawing or failing a developmental class will result in academic dismissal.
HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS
All students attending DeVry must provide proof of graduation from high school. An official high school transcript indicating successfully completion with the graduation date, satisfies the requirement. Students who have received a degree from a previous college, may submit a copy of their official college transcript to fulfill the requirement. Failure to submit proof of graduation prior to registration for the subsequent semester, will result in dismissal.
POTENTIAL GRADUATES
All students who are in their final semester must submit a graduation application by the beginning of Week 3. The graduation application can be found on the Registrar's page of the DeVry NY website, and submitted online. All graduate audits will be completed by Week 7 of each semester.
PROGRAM CHANGES
All program changes must be approved by the program dean or designee. Students must be in good academic standing, and meet the entrance requirements of the new program to be approved.
RESUMES
All students interested in resuming their studies, must contact the Registrar's Office in rm.230. All balances must be satisfied in order to be able to return, and you must be in good academic standing. Students must make their intention to resume known eight weeks before the start of the semester they are planning to return.
SEMESTER WITHDRAWALS
All semester withdrawals must be submitted to the Registrar's Office in rm.230. Students will be billed tuition up until to their last day of attendance.

TRANSFERS
Students interested in transferring to another DeVry must fill out a Transfer Request form by week 10 of the semester. All balances must be satisfied to be eligible for a transfer. Students who have been dismissed will not be permitted to transfer until the school from which they're transferring, has approved their appeal.
TRANSFER CREDIT EVALUATION
All transfer credit evaluations are done by the Registrar's Office. Students must submit an official transcript from their previous college for evaluation. All evaluations will be done by the Academic Coordinator. Any student unsatisfied with their evaluation can fill out a Request for Re-evaluation form to have it reviewed by their program dean to see if any adjustments need to be made.
