ACADMEIC DIFFICULTY REDUCED COURSE
LOAD PERMISSION
Reduced enrollment must be approved by International Student Admission and Programs before dropping courses.
• Students may seek authorization to be enrolled less than full-time during a given semester for a limited number of
academic reasons including improper course placement or sequence, initial English language difficulties, initial
difficulty with reading requirements, or unfamiliarity with American teaching methods.
• An academic adviser (college or major adviser) or professor teaching the class that will be dropped must
recommend the reduced enrollment.
• Reduced enrollment for academic reasons may be approved for only one semester during the student’s degree
program. Students should consider this carefully before requesting an approved reduced enrollment for academic
reasons since it can only be used once.
