REGISTRATION POLICIES
- The Study Certificate and Professional Study Certificate courses have already been determined and cannot be changed.
- Students may attend only the courses listed on their Official Registration form.
- Beginning Italian language students have been assigned a section which cannot be changed. All other students must take a placement test to confirm their level during Orientation at LdM.
- In the event of insufficient enrollment in particular courses (especially at the higher levels), LdM reserves the right to adjust the balance of teaching/open studio hours.
- Mid-term and final exams will be given only on the scheduled days that appear on each course syllabus. For no reason (i.e. religious issues, travel plans, family matters, etc.) will they be moved. Exams are scheduled during normal class times, so students with more than one course scheduled on the same day will take the same number of exams on that day.
- LdM does not offer Pass/Fail grades or Incompletes, only letter grades. All classes registered for and grades received will appear on each student's final certificate.
- If a student enrolled in the Certificate Program fails one or more courses, the student becomes ineligible for the Study or Professional Study Certificate but may stay enrolled at LdM and receive an Academic Performance Record.
- Students with learning disabilities will be subject to local educational standards. Based on current and official documentation of the disability, LdM offers reasonable assistance to these students. It is each student's responsibility to provide this documentation within the deadline.
- LdM reserves the right to withhold the certificate/academic record and/or housing deposit of students who violate contract agreements related to housing and/or academic issues (i.e. any balance or debt incurred) and/or whose behavior is considered detrimental towards the school and other students.
- Each student must carefully read the Lorenzo de' Medici Rules of Conduct. A copy of the Rules of Conduct must be signed by every student during Orientation.
- Attendance is mandatory for all courses.
