RESIDENCE HALL ASSOCIATION
Students
living on campus have the opportunity to become involved with
programming in
their residence halls through the Residence Hall Association. The
first
meeting will be held on Thursday, September 9, at
The
FALL 2004 ROOM CHANGE AND CONSOLIDATION
Thursday,
September 2 or Friday, September 3 from
If a student moves to a room which rents for more than the current room, the resident will be required to pay additional rent before the room change paperwork is completed. Students participating in the Freshmen First Program moving out of the program to another room after check-in will forfeit 25% of the cost of the Freshmen First Program. Sole occupants of double rooms after the room change period who do not wish to declare their rooms single and pay the difference in rent, if given the opportunity, will be required to consolidate with another resident.
RENT REFUND POLICIES
Refund of residence hall rent after check-in will be prorated on a weekly calendar basis when the student is forced to withdraw from the residence halls, (1) because of personal medical reasons confirmed in writing by a licensed physician, or (2) at the request of the institution for other than disciplinary reasons. Seventy-five percent of rent will be refunded to residents withdrawing from the residence halls for a period of fourteen calendar days beginning with, and including, the first official day of check-in. Twenty-five percent of rent will be refunded to residents withdrawing from the residence halls after the expiration of the seventy-five percent rent refund period. The twenty-five percent refund period ends upon expiration of one fourth of the semester for which rent was due.
Visit www.memphis.edu/reslife for more information regarding the residence halls.

CLASS
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Instructors
report to the Office of the Registrar all students who have not
attended any
class meeting during the first two weeks of classes (fall/spring) or
the first
week of classes (summer). These students will be sent a “Notice of
Non-Attendance”. Students who do not attend classes are responsible for
processing an official drop/withdrawal on TIGERWEB at www.tigerweb.memphis.edu.
Students
accept both fee and grade liability at the time of registration. In
order to
avoid fee or grade liability, students must drop/withdraw prior to the
first
day of classes for the session in which the course is taught.
Furthermore,
students who stop attending will be assigned a grade of “F” in courses
from
which they have not officially withdrawn.
NOTE:
Students who receive VA benefits or Title IV funds for enrollment fees
but who
stop attending, may have current and future awards cancelled and may
have to
repay benefits immediately, whether or not they officially withdraw or
drop
courses.

TURNING TO “W” GRADES

in
their schedules through the process of adding and/or dropping courses.
Courses
dropped through the 14th calendar day of sessions seven
weeks or
longer, or the 7th calendar day of sessions shorter than
seven
weeks, will not be shown on the student’s permanent record. Courses
dropped
after these days will be shown on the permanent record with withdrawal
grades
of “W”. Students may drop any course or courses up through the last day
to drop
for that session. To simply stop attending a class, without officially
dropping
the course, incurs the grade of “F”.
