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 https://wavenet.pepperdine,edu (Wavenet). Please be aware that adding or dropping classes may affect your student account balance and your financial aid eligibility.

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.

Leave of Absence

A student may officially request a leave of absence before registration for a term through written notification to his or her Academic Advisor. 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 with their Academic Advisor to be reviewed by the Doctoral Concentration Committee. Readmission after a leave of absence is subject to approval by the Doctoral Concentration Committee.

Readmission

Students who have been continuously absent for two or more terms must file a petition for readmission by completing an Application for Readmission Form with the GSEP Admissions Office. If readmitted, students are required to comply with current program requirements.

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 appears on the student's academic record but no grade is assigned. Degree requirements cannot be met through auditing. Students are not permitted to challenge any course for credit if they have previously audited the course. Students who are not enrolled for other courses will be assessed a fee of $100 per audited course. In some instances, courses may not be audited due to class size or to prevent disruption to the cohesiveness within a group of students. Students who wish to audit a course must complete the Petition to Audit a Course and submit to the Manager of Records and Enrollment.

Enrollment Verification

Enrollment verification can be processed by the University's Offcie of Student Information and Services (Malibu campus) or through Self-Service Enrollment Verification online at wavenet.pepperdine.edu after the student is officially registered. Future enrollment will not be verified. Students must indicate the specific term(s) of enrollment they wish to be verified.
