Failing & Then Re-Taking a Class Croskey notes that dropping a class is better than withdrawing, but withdrawing is better than failing. “A failing grade will lower the student's GPA, which may prevent a student from participating in a particular major that has a GPA requirement,” Croskey says.

To apply for a leave of absence, the student must mail or fax a letter with their signature to the office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies, requesting the leave of absence. The letter must state whether the leave is personal or medical. [As our office is currently virtual, students may also email a copy of the letter to [email protected], as long as it contains the student's signature.]
This documentation must be received within 30 days after the student or parent notifies Loyola of the need for a medical leave of absence.
A review of the student's financial obligations to the University will take place once the medical leave of absence is approved and the medical documentation is received. If the medical documentation is not received by the University within the 30-day period, the student or parent forfeits the right to a tuition refund.
Add/Drop refers to the period at the beginning of the semester when students are able to remove or add courses to their schedule, in person or via WebAdvisor. It is recommended that students consult with their advisor or with AASC before adding or removing courses from their schedule.
Students applying for a leave must complete the Leave of Absence Form, which can be obtained by contacting the office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. They must then consult the financial aid office to determine what effect this leave may have on their financial aid. Usually, students on a leave of absence from the University will not receive transfer credit for courses taken at another institution during the period of the leave. However, prior written permission may be obtained from the Academic Advising and Support Center for any exceptions to this policy.

Individuals with a master's degree may be admitted to Loyola College for the Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS), a 30-credit minimum program beyond a master's degree in the area or related areas in which the master's degree was received.
As a Catholic university in the Jesuit tradition, Loyola strives to nurture the formation of "men and women for others" and to provide an atmosphere of cura personalis, care for the whole person, so that each individual can realize his or her full potential. This includes the intellectual, ethical, social, and spiritual development and growth of all members of the Loyola community. In addition, all members of the Loyola community have the right to be treated with courtesy and respect. In this spirit, Loyola espouses the highest ethical standards and expects students, faculty, administrators, and staff to conduct themselves in a manner that upholds these principles. There are several general areas in which these Standards of Conduct apply: official University-wide policies, legal regulations, specialized professional codes of ethics, and generally acceptable standards of personal conduct. In addition, faculty members are responsible for presenting syllabi with information about all coursework, including grading practices, projects, examinations, and assignments, and should remind students of the standards of behavior and conduct to which students are expected to adhere. The instructor of record reserves the right to exclude a student from the classroom or from participation in one or more specific course activities, including trips, for good cause. In such exceptional cases, the student will be provided appropriate alternatives for completing the course. The student may appeal such a decision to the Chair and the Dean, provided that the instructor's decision will take effect and remain in effect unless or until it is overturned on appeal.
Applicants may take no more than eleven credits as nondegree students. Nondegree students are not eligible for federal financial aid. Students not enrolled in a course for more than three consecutive semesters will need to reapply to the program of interest. Individuals who wish to continue beyond the eleven credit nondegree limit must formally apply for admission to a degree, postbaccalaureate, or postmaster's program. Students may not continue to enroll beyond the eleven credits until they have been admitted into the degree program of choice. To avoid program interruption, students should apply after their third course; otherwise, there may be a break or semester lost in the continuity of the program.
As a Jesuit, Catholic university, integrity and honesty are integral components of Loyola's core values. This commitment to integrity and honesty is manifested in an atmosphere of open, civil discourse and careful, respectful listening where freedom of thought and expression are valued and protected. The University also supports honesty and integrity by striving in various ways to foster respect for oneself and one's own work, as well as respect for others, their work, and their basic human rights.
Online access requires a valid user ID and password (same as Loyola email). No grades are given in person or over the telephone. Official grades will not be released for students with outstanding financial obligations to the University or those who have borrowed and not returned equipment or supplies such as library books, athletic equipment, etc.
Graduate students who take courses at the University which count toward a graduate degree at another institution are visiting students. These students must submit an application along with an authorization letter from the dean of the degree-granting institution indicating that the student is in good academic standing and outlining the specific courses to be taken at Loyola. Current tuition rates are charged each semester. Visiting students are ineligible for financial aid or a degree from Loyola University Maryland.
Students can replace at maximum two grades during their Loyola career. The grade for the replacement courses replaces the original grade in the computation of the cumulative QPA; however, both the original grade and the replacement grade appear on the transcript. The following options are available to students:
The Records Office and the Academic Advising and Support Center (AASC) continue to support the Loyola community remotely. Click here for Records Office contact information. AASC can be reached at [email protected] or 410-617-5050. For a student planning to repeat a course or to replace one course for another, the following procedure must be followed:
Students cannot register for a repeat course via WebAdvisor. All grades for a repeated course are included with the original grade in the computation of the cumulative QPA. Both the original grade and the new grade appear on the transcript. Students can replace at maximum two grades during their Loyola career.
When registering for their second or third semesters, students may replace grades of D or F from courses that they took during their first semester. Fully admitted, degree-seeking first semester transfer students, may use the "replacement" option to recover academically.
Loyola students who are studying in Beijing, Cork, Leuven, or Newcastle must achieve a minimum cumulative QPA of 3.500 for the year, provided that during the year, they have successfully completed courses totaling a minimum of 30 credits applicable to a degree (excludes courses taken pass/fail and courses assigned a grade of "W").
In order to be in good standing at Loyola University Maryland, first-year students are required to have a cumulative QPA of at least 1.800 at the end of their first year of study. By the end of the first semester of their sophomore year and each semester thereafter, students must maintain a cumulative QPA of at least 2.000. Academic Probation.
Loyola students at year-long programs, exchanges, or affiliations abroad must obtain a minimum cumulative QPA of 3.500 for the year and must complete at least 30 credits applicable to a degree. Students at semester-long programs, exchanges, or affiliations abroad must earn at least a 3.500 cumulative QPA and complete 15 or more credits applicable to a degree.
At the discretion of the course instructor, a temporary grade of I (incomplete) may be given to a student who is passing a course but, for reasons beyond the student's control (illness, injury, or other nonacademic circumstances), is unable to complete the required coursework during the semester. A grade of I should not be issued to allow the student additional time to complete academic requirements of the course (except as noted above), repeat the course, complete extra credit work, or because of excessive absenteeism or the student's unexcused absence from the final exam. A grade of I may be assigned to a graduating senior only with the written approval of the academic dean of the University and only if the incomplete Form is submitted no later than the final day grades are due to the Records office. In all other cases, the Records office will assign a grade of NR.
The incomplete grade may remain on the record no longer than the time period agreed to by the instructor and the student and may not exceed one semester. If the incomplete is not satisfactorily resolved within the agreed-upon time period, the Records office will assign the student an F as the final grade.
F : Failure Denotes inadequate work below the minimal standards of competence required to pass the course. A course with this grade does not satisfy prerequisite or degree requirements.
