AVILA UNIVERSITY 61 Enrollment for this option begins in the Registration and Student Records Office at Blasco Hall during published in-person registration days and times. Enrollment in a lower division course for continuing education requires the appropriate prerequisites but does not require departmen- tal approval. Enrollment in an upper-division course (course numbered 310 or above) on the continuing education option must have the approval of the department offering the course. A signature from a departmental representative is required. If a student withdraws from a course taken for continuing education, a refund will be granted according to the time frame for part- time students minus a $10 administrative fee. Academic Policies Catalog Student Must Follow The catalog in existence at the time a student first enrolls at Avila University is the one a student must follow in order to fulfill graduation requirements. With departmental approval, a student may choose to fulfill degree requirements under a subsequent catalog in existence during the student’s attendance at Avila University. Once a student changes catalogs, the student may not revert to the earlier catalog. Forms to change a catalog are available in the Registration and Student Records Office. If a student does not attend Avila University for four consecutive semesters (not including sum- mer sessions), the student must then fulfill the requirements of the catalog in existence at the date of re-enrollment. The dates of the catalog a student follows to fulfill degree requirements must be stated on the degree application. Placement Examinations For students taking the SAT, SAT scores will be converted to ACT equivalents. Mathematics Placement In order to ensure that students are registered for the most appropriate class, all students plan- ning to register for MA 115 or 120 as their first mathematics course at Avila must qualify for placement in these courses. Placement will be approved by an academic advisor based on a stu- dent’s recent (taken since January 1995) ACT math score or a score on the Avila University Mathematics Placement Examination. English Placement Students who plan to enroll in a writing course may be placed in one of three courses (EN 95, EN 111, EN 112) according to their background. Placement will be approved by an academic advisor based on a student’s ACT score in English Usage or a score on the Avila University English Placement Examination.
