Full Answer
A withdrawal indicates that the student has permanently stopped attending the University.
Incomplete work must be completed and submitted to the instructor for a grade by the end of one calendar year from the close of the semester or session in which the course was taken.
In addition, a student on academic probation will have a hold placed on his/her subsequent course registration by the Office of Academic Records. This hold will be removed, and the probationary status will be cleared, once the student raises his/her GPA to 3.0 or higher.
Part-time students should arrange to take not more than three semester hours of course work in addition to 301 or 302 in each of the semesters during which they are writing their essays. All subjects must be approved by the chairperson of the thesis committee.
The above restrictions also set a limit of 10 years from admission as a matriculated doctoral student to the completion of all degree requirements.
An acceptable baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution is required for admission to courses in a doctoral program unless extraordinary circumstances prevail.
A nonrefundable tuition deposit of $250 may be required of all accepted doctoral students. This deposit will be credited toward tuition in the student’s first full (fall or spring) semester.
However a prerequisite typically means the knowledge of the material from the first course is required to learn the material of the second course, and if you failed the first course you should be denied the chance to take the second. And have a Long discussion with your faculty adviser.
If you fail any prerequisite course, and are registered for the next class, you will not be able to take that class, until the prerequisite is passed.
Where I work, the computerized registration system will catch up with you about a week into the semester and automatically drop you from the course.
But if you struggled with the material in the prerequisite, or found it sleep-inducing, that could be a sign that you may be enrolled in the wrong major. If so, take another look before was
It is unlikely that you’ll be permitted to take both the prereq and the next course simultaneously .
You need to re-take the prereq before you can take that next course. So you will be withdrawn automatically or manually for the course that requires the prereq, and your best strategy is to take that prereq ASAP.
You postpone the follow-on class and retake the pre-req and get a better grade the 2nd time.
If you are enrolling in one of the following programs, log in to your newly activated Hofstra portal (my.hofstra.edu) to access the Student Payment Center and pay your tuition deposit.

Most departments review on a rolling basis, meaning applications are reviewed continually up to the onset of courses as space is available . Each department operates on their own schedule, therefore decision times will vary depending on your program.

How do I process Incomplete grades for students? A. Enter "I" on the Web roster and submit grades. You will automatically be brought to the "Incomplete Final Grades" page. On this page, enter the default grade (other than UW) that will be assigned to the student if they DO NOT complete the outstanding course work. You can also select a reason for assigning the incomplete from a drop menu at the same point when they enter the default grade. If unchanged, the default reason is "Missing Assignment(s)". For all students, you will also have the option to shorten the pre-determined University deadline. For Graduate students, you will also have the option to lengthen the pre-determined University deadline up to one year from the end of the semester. (If a date greater than one year is entered, Academic Records will automatically change it to the one year deadline.) For more information, please visit http://www.hofstra.edu/studentaffairs/studentservices/academicrecords/acdrec_ug_incomplete_grade_faq_faculty.html
First check that you have selected the correct CRN and semester. If there are two sections of the same course, it is possible that some students may be listed in a different section. If the student does not appear on any roster, the student is unregistered and should have registered for the course prior to the deadline for the specific term. Students who are not registered by the deadline should not have been permitted to remain in your class and cannot receive a grade at this point . Please email the student's name (and student ID#, if known) to [email protected] outreach can be made to the student notifying them that they are not permitted to attend classes unregistered and that credit will not be earned for the course.
Q. When must grades be entered? A. This may vary from school to school. General rule is that faculty should enter grades within 72 hours of the final exam or class. The Web, however, is available for entering grades during hours of operation without limit at this time. By contract, the grades should be entered within 6 (six) days.
This designation appears for any student who may not be in compliance with University forms submission policy as noted on the rosters you receive during the semester. Grades must be submitted on an official Change of Grade form to 207 Memorial Hall. Mark the student's grade in the "TO" column. This automates grading once the student completes the missing requirements.
If you recognized a grade error and a "Y" appears in the Rolled column, you must submit an official Change of Grade form to 207 Memorial Hall.
Q. When can the students see grades? A. Once the grades are marked "Y" in the rolled column, the student can view grades on the Web. Grades are rolled into Academic History approximately every evening.
At some schools, the system will do an automatic check, and sweep out those who don't meet the grade requirements. So, be sure to check your classes after final grades post, and maybe register for the class again in case that happens, so that way you're not scrambling to get into a class in the fall.
Most schools will have prereq checking on and will remove you from the courses that require college algebra. My school doesn't do this until right before the semester (when you have the classes that require Col Algebra) starts, so you really need to check into the policy. I would hate for you to think there was no issue and then the day before the new semester starts you are scrambling for replacement courses.
