The Registrar’s Office is the official office of Academic Records for all undergraduate students, graduate students and alumni. It is the only office authorized to issue transcripts to students upon written request. This office has the responsibility to maintain timely and accurate records and ensures the privacy and security of those records. |

Credit Load Policy
For programs operating on the traditional semester schedule (15-week fall term, 15-week spring term, and two six-week summer terms), the normal full-time course load is three courses each in the fall and spring terms, and two courses in each summer term. For programs operating on the accelerated schedule of five nine-week terms per year, the normal full-time course load is two courses per nine-week term. Students who wish to register for more than the established full-time load must receive prior approval from their Program Director. |
Degree Candidates and Special Students
Students seeking a graduate degree may register for two courses before making a formal application but no subsequent courses will be applied to the degree if the student has not matriculated.
Special Students -- those not seeking a degree -- are welcome to take an unlimited number of courses. After earning six credits, however, they must obtain permission from the Program Director to register for other courses. These courses may not count toward a degree.
|
Course Withdrawal and Refund
Students who wish to withdraw from a course after the add/drop period must notify the Registrar's Office. A withdrawal form must be completed at the time of the notification. This is the only official means of withdrawing from a course. Non-attendance or notification of the professor does not constitute an official withdrawal. Failing to officially withdraw could result in a grade of "F" for the course. Students who officially withdraw from a course after the add/drop period receive a grade of "W" for that course.
The date the completed withdrawal form is submitted to the Registrar's Office is the official date of the student's withdrawal from this course. This date will be used to calculate any refunds of tuition and financial aid that might be due. |

Class Attendance
Students are expected to attend class and take examinations regularly. It is the responsibility of the instructor to explain his or her attendance policy to students at the beginning of the semester. A student who is excessively absent accepts the risk of forfeiting the portion of the grade that derives from class attendance and participation. |
Class Cancellation Announcements
Announcements for the cancellation of late afternoon and evening classes for all AMC intructional locations including the Paxton campus will be made between 1 and 5 p.m. on radio stations WBZ 1030 AM, WTAG 580 AM, and WSRS 96.1 FM and on TV stations WBZ Channel 4, WCVB Channel 5, Fox 25 and WRKO News 7. |
Academic Integrity and Honesty
As an academic community centered in the Catholic tradition, Anna Maria College expects all members of the College community to act in a responsible and ethical manner and to uphold the values, rules, and regulations of the College. The principles of individual honor, integrity, responsibility, and respect for the rights of others are essential to student conduct. Anna Maria College expects all students to demonstrate honesty and integrity in the execution of their academic responsibilities. If a faculty member or fellow student suspects that another student has violated the standards of honesty and integrity in academic work, the matter must be reported to the Dean of Academic Affairs. If the Dean determines a violation has occurred, sanctions may include, but are not limited to, a letter of reprimand, failure on the assignment, failure in the course, or suspension or dismissal from the College. |

*The grade "I" is permitted when unavoidable circumstances prevent a student from completing work for a course. Special arrangements must be made between the student seeking the "I" and the faculty member teaching the course. The student has 4 weeks after the first day of the semester following the semester in which the "I" was assigned to complete the work for the course. The "I" automatically becomes an "F" if the unfinished course work is not completed by this deadline.
Appealing Grades
A student who believes that he or she has been unfairly graded in a course or deserves an adjustment in his or her academic status may appeal. This appeal must occur within 4 weeks of assignment of the grade. A student must confer with the instructor about the grade prior to the appeal. If the student still feels that he or she has been graded unfairly, the student should appeal to the Program Director, then to the Dean for Academic Affairs, who may ask the Graduate Council for a recommendation. The decision of the Dean for Academic Affairs is final. Only decisions resulting in academic dismissal may be appealed to the President. |
Transcripts
Transcripts of courses taken at Anna Maria College can be obtained from the Registrar's Office upon receipt of a written request, with signature. E-mail and FAX requests cannot be honored. A fee of $5 ($7 for priority/rush) is charged for each transcript requested. Transcripts cannot be released if the student has outstanding financial obligations to the College. |
Confidentialty of Records
Anna Maria College complies with the requirements set out in The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended (PL 93-380, Section 438, the General Education Provisions Act). Copies of the policy are available from the Office of Academic Programs, the Office of the Registrar, and online on the College's web site.
It is the responsibility of every student who is approaching graduation to notify the Registrar's Office of the completion of all academic requirements. To do so, the student must complete the Intent to Graduate Form. These forms are available at the Registrar's Office or online and must be submitted to that office no later than January 20 for graduation the following May. If a student does not meet the January 20 deadline, the College cannot be held responsible for conferring a degree the following May. The fee for graduation is $100. |
