Regulations

Attendance, Withdrawal, and Refunds

Students are expected to attend all meetings of the course(s) for which they enroll. They are not entitled to excused absences. Excessive absences will be sufficient cause for withdrawal from the course.

Students who wish to withdraw from a course must do so either in a letter to the Office of Graduate Studies or in person at the same office. Failure to attend a class or notification to the professor does not constitute withdrawal from the class. All such unofficial withdrawals will result in the grade of "F."

During the academic year, students who withdraw from a class before the first meeting will receive a full tuition refund. If withdrawal occurs after the first class meeting, but before the third meeting, the student will receive a tuition refund, minus a penalty of $250. Ordinarily, no refunds will be granted after the third class meeting. A grade of "W" will appear on the transcript for a course dropped after the second class meeting. An abbreviated withdrawal schedule applies to the Summer Term.

ID Cards

All students must have a barcoded ID card in order to use many essential campus facilities, such as the Library, Computing Center, and Athletic Center. Information about obtaining an ID card is made available with the confirmation of registration. The College Library urgently requests that the loss or theft of a barcoded ID card be reported immediately to the circulation librarian or circulation assistant.

Inclement Weather

Classes are rarely canceled. Occasionally, however, it may be necessary to do so because of emergencies or hazardous weather situations. When one or two classes are canceled, the information will be available on Trinity's information line, 297-2001, after 4:45 p.m., or by consulting the course instructor directly. In extraordinary cases, when it is necessary to cancel all classes, information will be announced over the following radio stations: WTIC, WHCN, and WPOP, as well as recorded on the Trinity information line. Students should not call the College switchboard or the Office of Graduate Studies for cancellation information.

Parking

Trinity is an active urban campus and, as such, has limited parking facilities. All students must register their automobiles with the Campus Safety Office, located in the lower level of 76 Vernon Street. The Campus Safety Office will provide parking permits and information on campus parking regulations. There is a small charge for a parking permit, which may be purchased for the academic year or an individual semester.
