Registration Policies
Registration Week
Registration Week is held during the preceding semester and ends one week later. Degree seeking students are given an appointment day and time based on their classification and credit hours completed. Students may register on their assigned appointment day and time (or thereafter) up until the published deadline. No exceptions can be made for those students who wish to register before their assigned appointment day or time.
Open Registration
There is no appointment day or time and registration is on a first come, first served basis. All students who have not yet registered are encouraged to do so at this time. Students who have already registered may add or drop courses during this period.
Late Adds
Students may add or register only until the end of the third week of classes with the appropriate signature. In order to add late, students must obtain the signature of the instructor and a department stamp of approval. Payment for any late add must be made the same day as the registration; otherwise, this will result in the cancellation of all paid or unpaid courses.
Dropping and Adding Courses
Students may drop courses or withdraw from the University with no transcript record of the courses and without a tuition fee liability prior to the end of the drop/add period. If tuition and fees have already been paid, an automatic refund will be mailed to the student’s local address within six weeks. Courses must be dropped through the Kiosks or via the Web in order to avoid liability. To add courses during the drop/add period no signature is required unless the course is closed. If the course is closed, a permission is required from the appropriate department.
Grading Option
The Colleges and the Schools determine the courses’ grading option. Courses may be offered for a letter grade (A,B,C,D,F) or Pass/Fail, (P for pass or F for fail). Courses offered with a grading option (OP) allow students the “option” of either a letter grade or a Pass/Fail grade. The grading option must be indicated at the time of registration and may not be changed after the first week of classes (end of the drop/add period). There are no exceptions to this deadline.
Audit
Auditing a course means that an AU grade will be recorded on the transcript. Students must obtain the course instructor’s permission and signature. Once a course has been requested as an audit, the grading option may not be changed. The deadline to change the grading option to audit is the end of the drop/add period. There are no exceptions to this deadline.
Late Drops
Courses officially dropped during the late drop period are recorded on the transcript with a grade of ‘DR’ (dropped). Students are financially liable for all courses dropped during this period. Courses must be dropped by using the Kiosks, or via the Web.
