A student may request a review of academic status or university regulations by submitting an academic petition to the Office of Educational Services. An undergraduate student registered at IIT who wishes to enroll at another institution must submit an academic petition to the Office of Educational Services for approval prior to registration at the other institution. This includes registration at another institution for the summer term.
Former IIT students who want to return as full-time or part- time undergraduate students must submit an application for reinstatement to the Office of Educational Services no later than two weeks prior to the week of registration for the semester of intended enrollment. Students who have attended other schools since their last attendance at IIT must submit official transcripts before a decision is made on their reinstatement. Application does not assure acceptance. There is no fee for this procedure.
Students who wish to change their status must follow the procedures listed below:
- Part-time (non-degree) to Full-time or Part-time (degree-seeking)
Student should contact the Office of Educational Services regarding a change of status from non-degree to degree-seeking. Normally one semester must be satisfactorily completed at IIT. - Part-time (degree seeking) to Full-time
Part-time students who are degree-seeking may register for full-time status provided they have their departmental adviser's signature. Students who wish to apply for financial aid must notify the Student Finance Center regarding their change of status. - Full-time to Part-time (degree-seeking)
Students should notify the Student Finance Center if applicable. International students with student visas must be registered in full-time status. - Graduate to Undergraduate (Full-time or Part-time)
Graduate students who wish to change their status from graduate to undergraduate must complete an application for undergraduate reinstatement in the Office of Educational Services.
A student who wishes to change or declare a major must obtain a change-of-major request form from the Office of Educational Services. This form must be signed by the chair of the intended major department and the dean of the Undergraduate College.
International students who change their major must contact IIT's International Center and receive a new I-20.
A program audit provides a summary of a student's academic status to date and lists the courses he or she must complete in order to receive a degree.
Most undergraduate students who have completed at least 70 semester hours of credit (including applicable transfer credit) will receive an audit from the Office of Educational Services. Some students will be required to submit an approved program of study and should consult their departmental advisers regarding this requirement.
A full-time degree-seeking student intending to withdraw from the university must submit a withdrawal form to the Office of Educational Services. Failure to submit a withdrawal form may create difficulties in the student s eligibility to receive tuition credit, if any is appropriate, in clearing his or her financial record, and in having academic records reflect an official withdrawal.
Full-time students who withdraw from the university with the intention of returning to complete their degree program may apply for a Leave of Absence. Students must contact the Office of Educational Services, 312-567-3300, or email welter@iit.edu, to request a Leave of Absence.
The Leave of Absence policy is:
-
Students must be in good academic standing
-
This designation cannot exceed one academic year, however, it may be extended if proper documentation is submitted.
-
Students on a medical Leave of Absence may be required to have an interview with the Counseling Center prior to resuming their studies.
-
Students maintain their IIT scholarships while on a Leave of Absence.
