    must successfully complete these courses within the first 30 regental credit hours attempted. If the
    course(s) are not successfully completed at that time, a registration hold will be placed on the
    student's record and they will not be able to register using WebAdvisor.

2. If the pre-general education course(s) are not successfully completed within the first 42 regental
    hours attempted, the only course(s) in which students may enroll is the required
    pre-general education course(s); and the student's status is changed from degree seeking to
    non-degree seeking. Non-degree seeking students are NOT eligible for financial aid and athletics.
    Students can petition to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for an exception.
