A DSO may authorize a reduced course load for a student experiencing
academic difficulties, but only on the basis of the following reasons
specified in the regulations:
These are the only academic difficulty reasons for which a reduced
course load may be approved. Although there will be cases that clearly
fit into one of these categories, there will be many that are less
clear. Where a certain academic situation may fit, or might be logically
related to one of the categories, a DSO must use his or her discretion
to evaluate whether the particular academic situation can properly be
seen to fall within one of the categories established by regulation.
