Placement

Students enrolling at Mannes for the first time who are interested in theory, ear training, and other subjects requiring placement should call for advice before registering. Placement exams are given approximately one week before the beginning of classes each semester, at no additional cost, and prospective students are urged to attend.

Withdrawals and Refunds

Withdrawals from classes may be made only with the permission of the director. Students are liable for academic requirements and tuition payments for classes in question until an official withdrawal slip has been filed with the registrar and the bursar.

Nonattendance and nonpayment of tuition fees do not constitute withdrawal.

All requests for withdrawal must be made to the Extension Office; an informal notification of intention to withdraw made to the classroom teacher does not constitute withdrawal. The last day for official withdrawal is listed in the calendar; no exceptions will be made. Full tuition will be refunded for withdrawals made before the first day of the semester.

University Refund Schedule

Students dismissed for disciplinary reasons are not entitled to refunds.

Dismissal

The college reserves the right to dismiss any student who does not live up to its standards. Dismissal is regarded as final.

Building Regulations

It is expected that general students will be in the Mannes building to attend their classes and to prepare for these classes as needed. Additional time for preparation is not to exceed three hours per week per credit-hour. The administration reserves the right to immediately limit or deny building access and to limit or deny future registration to students who grossly violate this rule.

Credits

Unless otherwise indicated, classes run for one semester of 15 weeks. All classes are assigned a credit value. In general, classes meeting one hour per week carry one credit per semester, and courses meeting two hours per week carry two credits per semester. Most courses are offered in both the fall and spring semesters.

Course Cancellation Policy

The college reserves the right to cancel any course because of insufficient enrollment. Under such circumstances, full refunds will be made to students. The division will make every effort to assist students whose classes were closed out and who wish to make alternative arrangements. In some instances, such arrangements may necessitate tuition adjustments.
