are two methods to request a course repeat. If the student is on academic probation, they should include the repeat course information on the Probation Contract (form G702) in the space indicated. For students not on academic probation, the Course Repeat Form on the Office of the Registrar’s website should be used (see https://www.iit.edu/registrar/registration/course-repeat-policy). All repeat requests are reviewed by Academic Affairs prior to approval. The original course grade earned will remain on the student’s academic transcript.
AA. Residence Requirements
1. Undergraduate: All undergraduate degree-seeking students must observe the following residence requirements:
Once enrolled at Illinois Tech, a student is not permitted to enroll at another institution without obtaining permission. A student must submit an academic petition to the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs for approval prior to registration at another institution.
A course completed (passed or failed) at Illinois Tech must be repeated at Illinois Tech. No transfer credit will be awarded for any course equivalent to a course completed at Illinois Tech.
For a bachelor’s degree, the final 45 semester hours of work must be completed in residence at Illinois Tech. Any proficiency examinations or enrollment at another institution must be completed before this period.
2. Graduate: Degree-seeking graduate students are required to register every fall and spring semester unless they receive special permission in writing from the Office of Academic Affairs for a leave of absence. In addition, doctoral students must spend a minimum of one year of full-time study at the university. That year must occur within six years prior to awarding the degree.
The College of Architecture and the Institute of Design have academic residence requirements for master’s degrees. To be eligible to receive a doctorate in any discipline at Illinois Tech, a student must spend a minimum of two regular semesters or three quarters in full-time study on campus. In special cases, two summers of research or other day graduate activity may be substituted for one of the two semesters. Some departments may have additional requirements.
BB. Safety Intervention Policy Procedures for Risk Assessment, Safety Intervention and Involuntary Withdrawal
1. General. Illinois Tech is an institution that values the safety of each individual in its community; therefore, Illinois Tech is committed to maintaining a learning environment where all persons feel safe to carry out its mission and goals. The procedures described below establish a process for safety intervention and involuntary withdrawal of students who pose a credible substantial risk of harm to individuals within the University or to the University community, or substantially impede the lawful activities, educational process, or proper activities or functions of other members of the University community. For purposes of this policy, interim safety intervention may include one or more actions reasonably intended to ameliorate the concerns that do not otherwise warrant involuntary withdrawal hereunder; such actions may include, but are expressly not limited to, requiring evaluation by an appropriate healthcare professional, removal from Illinois Tech residential facilities, restrictions on access to Illinois Tech property and facilities, regular meetings with the Dean of Students or designee, and/or limitations on extracurricular activities
In furtherance of the foregoing, Illinois Tech has established a Community Support Team (“CST”). With respect to this policy, the primary mission of the CST is to improve community safety through collaborative, coordinated, objective, and thoughtful approaches to the prevention, identification, assessment, intervention, and management of situations that pose, or may reasonably pose, a threat to the safety, security, and well- being of the campus community and its individual members. Therefore, CST will review and evaluate information regarding concerns or issues involving threats to the Illinois Tech community by Illinois Tech students, and will act, as necessary, to protect the community and its members.
