Frequently
Asked Questions
Q.
How can I become eligible for a Clipper course?

you are a high school student and have been accepted early
decision to Lehigh University you are eligible to take a

A. Once
selected for a Clipper course, students will receive information
as to where the books can be purchased and which books are
needed.
Q.
What is the process if I want to withdrawal from this course?
A. Like
an on-campus student, a Clipper student is able to withdraw
from a course at any point during the semester, up until
the last day of class. They are however, regulated by the
University's withdrawal policies. A student dropping a course
in the first 10 days will have no record on his or her transcript.
A student who drops a course after the tenth day of instruction
and before the end of the eleventh week of instruction will
receive a W for the course. A student who drops after the
eleventh week, will receive a WP or a WF at the discretion
of the professor. A WF is considered to be a failing grade.
Withdrawing
from a Clipper Course does not affect your relationship
with Lehigh University. Receiving a W or a WP does not affect
your GPA. In no way will those marks affect you when you
begin full-time at Lehigh in the fall.
