Eligibility to Register
Students are required to be cleared by the Student Accounts and Admissions Office before registering for classes. Tuition balances for the prior term(s) must be paid in full before a student can register and attend classes for a subsequent term.
A student who has been absent for more than two calendar years is required to file a new application with the Graduate School of Education and Psychology Admissions Office and pay the regular application fee. Students are permitted to register in unclassified status for only one term. It is the responsibility of every student to attend to the correct procedural matters.
Adding or Dropping of Classes
Students may add or drop courses online without penalty during the add/drop period each term at http://wavenet.pepperdine,edu (Wavenet). Please be aware that adding or dropping classes may affect your student account balance and your financial aid eligibility.
Students who drop classes after the add/drop period are subject to the following tuition refund schedule:
Tuition Refund
Add/drop (first week of classes) 100%
Second week of classes 75%
Third week of classes 50%
Fourth week of classes 25%

* Student is obligated to pay balance of tuition due.
Withdrawal from classes
Students who wish to withdraw from all classes for the term or withdraw permanently from the University must notify the Program Office in writing and indicate the last date the student attended classes. If notification is postmarked by the last day of the add/drop period, tuition will be refunded 100%, less a $150 withdrawal fee. If withdrawal occurs after the add/drop period, students will be subject to the tuition refund schedule above.
A student who fails to attend classes or leaves the University for any reason must formally withdraw through the Program Office in writing and indicate the last date that you attended classes. Failure to complete the withdrawal process will result in a failing grade for the course(s) and continued obligation for tuition and other charges.
Leave of Absence
A student may officially request a leave of absence before registration for a term through written notification to the program administrator. Leave of absence requests will be considered only before the student registers for the term; otherwise, it is considered a withdrawal.
Doctoral students who need to take a leave of absence must file a formal petition to their Doctoral Concentration Committee. Readmission after a leave of absence is subject to approval by the Doctoral Concentration Committee.

Readmission

Students who have been absent for more than two calendar years are required to file a new application with the GSEP Admissions Office, pay the regular application fee, and be considered for admission based upon current admission requirements. The readmission applicants will be notified promptly after a decision has been made. All students who are readmitted are responsible for clearing their student accounts before being permitted to register. If returning students wish to change their original degree objective, they must file a new application with the GSEP Admissions Office and pay the regular application fee.
Auditing a Course
Students may audit certain classes with the consent of the instructor, providing space is available. An audited class does not appear on the student's academic record and no grade is assigned.
