Final examinations, obligatory in most courses, are given the last two days of the session. Special examinination to suit the convenience of the individual students will not be given.
Admitted students who wish to attend a course without satisfying the formal requirements of the course must secure the consent of the teacher, register as an auditor and pay the regular tuition and fees. Credit will not be granted for auditing a course.
The registration procedure is the same as for all other students. Auditors are required to attend a minimum of one-half of the class sessions.If this requirement is not met, the registrar, upon notice of the instructor of insufficient attendance, will record a grade of “W” on the student’s record.
Students are expected to attend promptly all classes and laboratories for which they are registered. Because of the concentrated nature of summer courses, absences are not generally permitted.
To register for a consortium course, the student must currently be registered at Catholic University. Tuition is paid to Catholic University at its rates. Special fees charged for specific courses must be paid by the student directly to the institution offering the course.
The student must complete the Consortium Registration Form and Consortium Request Form (“Statement of Need”) obtained from the Office of the Registrar, Room 10, McMahon Hall. Obtain appropriate academic approval and present the forms to the consortium coordinator in the Office of the Registrar. For further information, call the consortium coordinator at 202-319-5300.
Students may change or drop courses without penalty within the first four days for five week sessions and five days for six week sessions. You will find information on all deadlines including DD Sessions on the Student Center on Cardinal Station and on the Summer Sessions calendar.

CUA students must obtain permission from their academic dean for any schedule changes. Students can make course changes on the Web at http://cardinalstudents.cua.edu. After you log in, click on “For Student,” “Enrollment,” and “Add/Drop Classes.” The summer sessions term is 1095.
Students devoting full time to their studies may enroll in courses providing a maximum of one more unit of credit than the number of weeks in a given session. Thus, a student may register for one credit over the number of weeks s/she is taking a particular course, for example seven credits in a six-week course and for six credits in a five-week course, up to a maximum of twelve credits. Please consult your Advising office/Dean for permission to over-elect.
If the course you are registering for is designated as requiring departmental approval, you must contact the school/department offering the course to obtain permission. Once you obtain permission, you must register for the course on the Web at http://cardinalstation.cua.edu. Registration and payment must be complete by the third day of the session.

Pass/Fail — Undergraduate: Free electives may be reported on a pass/fail basis upon written application to the academic dean, prior to the announced date.
