1. Purpose
This policy outlines the State of Enrollment for Richmindale College Students. This policy requires oversight by persons academically qualified to make necessary judgements.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all Richmindale students.
3. Policy
Current Students
To identify the number of current students, Richmindale College considers those who are not cancelled or withdrawn from a program as current students after they have been accepted for admission to a Richmindale program, regardless of their status.
Conditionally Enrolled Students
Students who have been accepted for admission to a Richmindale College program without their official transcripts received by Richmindale are considered conditionally enrolled. Richmindale must receive their official transcripts from their previous institution within one enrollment period, or they are withdrawn from the program and do not earn credits from their completed courses for the semester.
Students who are withdrawn from a program may re-apply for admission and go through the admission process.
Inactive Students
Students who are not enrolled in the current semester are considered inactive during that semester period. Richmindale will do its best to communicate with inactive students to identify if they want to continue or cancel.
Inactive students should consider the impact of the additional semesters that may be required to complete the program, and the tuition period covered in the enrollment agreement. Students who fail, or are about to fail, to complete the tuition period covered in the enrollment agreement are withdrawn from their program. See the Cancellation For Failure to Complete a Program Within the Tuition Period Covered section under the Cancellation, Withdrawal and Refund Policies for more details.
Enrollment Agreement Tuition Period Covered
The tuition period covered in a student enrollment agreement is 150% or 1.5 times the normal length to complete a Richmindale College program. tuition period covered for bachelor’s degrees is 6 years and master’s degrees is 3 years.
Students who fail, or are about to fail, to complete the tuition period covered in the enrollment agreement are withdrawn from their program. See the Cancellation For Failure to Complete a Program Within the Tuition Period Covered section under the Cancellation, Withdrawal and Refund Policies for more details.
Full-Time and Part-Time Status
To be considered full-time, students must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits for bachelor’s degree and 9 credits for master’s degree in each semester. who are enrolled in credits less than the minimum in each semester are considered part-time.
Reenrollment of Cancelled or Withdrawn Students
Richmindale College cancels the enrollment agreement of students who have been withdrawn from a program. If they decide to re-enroll, they go through the admission application process for their selected program again, pay the fees, and complete a new enrollment agreement updated with the current year’s fees and terms of payment.
Students should settle their outstanding balances to be able to enroll in more courses for the following semesters.
