7.1.7 Student Status

 

An active student is one who has satisfied all entry requirements and is qualified to participate in all academic activities. Requirements to become an active student are as follows:

  • Apply to SU and accept an offer of admission if eligible;

  • Complete the registration process;

  • Pay the tuition and fee(s) due; and

• Complete a study plan by consulting with an advisor.

An auditor is:

  • a student who is authorized to follow academic activities to enhance knowledge of some specific area without academic credit, or

  • transfer student candidate who is still in the process of diploma equivalency.

An auditor may come internally from SU (those who have been enrolled as SU students) or from outside the University. Requirements for internal auditors are as follows:

  • Registered as an active student;

  • Have a minimum GPA of 3.00;

  • Take a maximum study load of four audited credits; and

  • The total study load (regular courses + audited course) may not exceed 24 credits.

An external auditor must have advance approval from the SU administration as well as the lecturer, and must meet minimum qualifications of the course. They will not be expected to take examinations, and will not receive grades or academic credit for the course, nor will they be billed regular tuition. Permission for external auditors may only be granted if space is available in a class after enrolled students have registered.

A student on academic leave is one who officially requests an academic leave at his or her own initiative, and is exempted from the obligation to follow academic activities during certain semester(s). An academic leave can only be taken by a student for two (2) consecutive semesters, and a maximum of four (4) semesters during a student’s period of enrollment. Academic leaves are requested in writing to the student’s Head of Program and approved by the Dean and the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs.

Prior to the commencement of the semester, every student must register for the following semester by submitting a Study Plan (KRS) and pay any due tuition and fees.

An inactive student is:

  • a student who has finished an academic leave but has not registered for the following semester; or
  • a student who does not register for the following semester. Any inactive semester(s) will be counted in the total length of study.

A student who is found to have violated academic rules and placed on academic sanction is not allowed to participate in academic activities during a period specified by the SU administration.

A student who wants to reactivate their status should:

  • Submit a letter requesting to be returned to active status to the Head of the Study Program, copying the Academic Registry. This request letter must be submitted no later than one week prior to the add/drop period.
  • Undergo the re-registration processes.
  • Pay the required tuition and fees.
