Transcripts: Students withdrawing from GAU will receive "W" (if no exams were taken), "WP" or "WF" on their
transcripts depending on whether they were passing or failing a block at the time of their withdrawal. All approved
withdrawals must be submitted to the University Registrar.
Refunds
Refunds, if required, will be determined by the last academically related activity.
Readmission
Readmission with "WF." Students who receive "WF" in any block at the time of withdrawal will be reviewed by the
Registrar office to determine whether they are eligible for readmission.
Deferrals
Prior to the start of classes, students admitted to a specific trimester may request to defer their admission to a subsequent
trimester. The following policies apply to deferrals:
Timeframe. This privilege is limited to no more than the upcoming two trimesters. Students who do not begin
enrollment during that period are considered deactivated and must re-apply for admission.
Applications and Requirements. Applications for deferrals must be made to the Admissions Office. Students
deferring to a future semester must meet all the requirements in effect for that trimester.
Week One Deferral. Entering students who, following their initial check-in on campus, wish to defer their
enrollment to the following trimester may do so through Student Affairs. This option is only available during week
one of the trimester.
Deactivation. On occasion, students who are admitted for a given trimester do not arrive on campus to check-in for
that trimester, and they do not request a deferral. These students are automatically administratively withdrawn and
are considered to have deactivated their applications. They must re-apply for admission.
Disciplinary Dismissals
GAU may implement disciplinary actions for non-academic infractions that may result in suspension or dismissal. Students
may be dismissed from GAU for poor academic performance, violations of the Honor Code, or for disruptive or
unprofessional behavior (for further examples, please see the Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Actions) as outlined in the
Student Honor Code Policy (see Ujuzi dashboard).
As a general GAU policy, students who are dismissed will not be considered for readmission. Dismissal of this kind during
an academic trimester does not warrant a reduction of tuition and fees.
