Students are re-registered for each new semester when their registration forms are received on the scheduled date. This procedure does not imply either academic or financial eligibility for registration. 2. Students who fail to qualify for registration during regular registration dates are subject to late registration, within the late registration period. Permission to attend classes prior to registering does not imply the right to register nor to receive academic credit. 3. College and Clinic closed does not refer to status of clinical rotations at hospitals. Students are responsible to attend all rotations at off-campus facilities regardless of closures of NYCPM and FCNY. 4. Study/retest periods often (not always) coincide or overlap with class recess dates for those students who do not need to retest. 5. Final exam periods may not apply to all courses; finals for certain courses are scheduled earlier or later, as published in class schedules and syllabi, with retest periods scheduled accordingly. Always consult syllabi and class schedules regarding exams and retest dates.
