That process handles exceptions involving previously completed work. Beginning with registration for Spring 2011, in accordance with catalog policy, students will not be able to register online for courses which will result in an invalid repeat (i.e., repeat of an “A” or “B” grade, or a third attempt of a course). Requests must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office to facilitate enrollment in those cases. I’ve added additional information here in <span style='color:blue'>blue text</span> as it relates to registration for Spring 2011 and future terms. Information was emailed to students today.<br> <br><u> <br> <br></u><b><u><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>UAccess and Course Repeats</span></u></b><u><br></u> <br>UAccess strictly enforces Catalog course repeat policy and it does so at the course level. If an adjustment is made in the advisement report to allow a repeated course to count (i.e. a repeat of an “A” or “B” grade, or a third attempt of a course) that action will not actually retain the units/GPA for the repeated course on the record. In addition, beginning with registration for Spring 2011, UAccess will not allow students to enroll in courses that will result in an invalid repeat. <br> <br>In both cases, the courses themselves must be coded to allow enrollment and the units/GPA to count. The Registrar’s Office must make those adjustments, and our Graduation Services advisors handle these requests. <br> <br> <br><u>Historical Exceptions Involving Previously Completed Work<br></u> <br>Historical exceptions will be honored. We will match what existed in DARS if data was converted differently in UAccess. We will also process exceptions related to transfer credit, as well as courses previously completed at UA. The offering department should submit a “Request for Historical Exception to Course Repeat Policy” on behalf of the student to the Graduation Services advisor for consideration and adjustment of the student’s record. Requests will also be accepted from college advisors. You can access the form at <a href="http://registrar.arizona.edu/regtrans/petition-for-exception">http://registrar.arizona.edu/regtrans/petition-for-exception</a>. Once completed, press the “submit” button and the form will be routed into our electronic work flow for pickup by the Graduation Services advisors.<br> <br> <br> <br><b><u><span style='font-size:24.0pt;color:blue'>NEW - Exceptions for Future Registration, Beginning with Spring 2011</span></u></b><b><u><span style='color:blue'><br></span></u></b><span style='color:blue'> <br>In accordance with catalog policy and, beginning with registration for Spring 2011, students may not enroll online in courses that will result in an invalid repeat. Students must see the offering department for the course they wish to repeat. If the offering department approves the student’s enrollment, they must notify the Registrar’s Office. We are in the process of modifying the current electronic work flow to accommodate this type of request for exception to course repeat policy and we will notify you when it’s ready. In the meantime, </span><i><u><span style='font-size:18.0pt;color:red'>departments should email the Graduation Services advisor directly</span></u></i><span style='font-size:18.0pt;color:red'>.</span><span style='color:red'> </span><span style='color:blue'>The Graduation Services advisor will code the earlier iteration of the course so that the upcoming course will count. Once the request is processed, the student will be notified by official UA email that he/she is eligible to enroll in the class. The student can then enroll in the class online, the department can enroll the student, or the Registration and Transcripts office can enroll the student with a Change of Schedule form.<br> <br> <br> Additional Points:<br> <br>Ø Exception requests will be processed within 24-48 hours.<br> <br><br>Ø The submitter and the student will be notified by email when the request is processed.<br> <br>Ø Departments may choose to wait until after Priority Registration to submit course repeat exception requests so that they may hold seats for students not repeating courses. <br> <br><br>Ø UAccess will permit enrollment in courses that are set-up to allow multiple enrollment.<br> </span><br> <br><img border=0 width=925 height=596 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:7.1.0.9.0.20101008105448.03d2d8e0@ag.arizona.edu.3" alt="[]"><br> <br> <br>Jody Payne, MBA<br>Assistant Registrar<br>Academic Career Management<br>Administration Bldg, Rm 210<br>University of Arizona | P.O.
