Registration and Dropping/Adding Courses

Course registration for currently enrolled, degree-seeking students occurs during a registration window for the upcoming semester. Students must consult with their assigned academic advisor and obtain his/her approval before registering for classes. Prior to registering for classes, a student’s account must be paid to date and all health records must be complete in the Engle Center. Students are considered actively enrolled the first day of classes.

Adding a Course. Students may add courses via web registration through the end of the first week of classes for semester-long courses. Please check with the Office of the Registrar for the dates by which 6-week and 7-week classes may be added. Changes made beyond these deadlines require the written approval of the instructor and the student’s academic advisor via a Drop/Add form and are subject to a late registration fee. Schedule additions after the deadline above require approval of the Registrar and are subject to a late registration fee. The Office of the Registrar’s homepage contains semester-specific deadline dates for course changes.

Dropping and Withdrawing from a Course. Courses may be dropped during the first third of the term and will not appear on the student’s transcript. Students may withdraw from a course during the second third of the term.  Courses from which a student has withdrawn will be indicated with a “W” on the student’s transcript. Dropped or Withdrawn courses do not affect the student’s grade point average. Academic standing is based on total credits attempted during the semester, including withdrawn credits. After the first five class days of a semester, a fee may be assessed for each course change requested. The Office of the Registrar’s homepage contains semester-specific deadline dates for course changes.
