1. Purpose
This policy defines the enrollment classifications and status of
students at Richmindale College. It ensures clarity regarding
active, inactive, and withdrawn students, as well as full-time and
part-time enrollment requirements.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all students of Richmindale College
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considers those who are not cancelled or withdrawn from a program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institution within one enrollment period, or they are withdrawn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Students who are withdrawn from a program may re-apply for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in the enrollment agreement are withdrawn from their program.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.

150% or 1.5 times the normal length to complete a Richmindale
College program. tuition period covered for bachelor’s

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period covered in the enrollment agreement are withdrawn from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

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

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.

enroll in more courses for the following semesters.
