Registration
Registration for courses must be approved or signed by the faculty adviser before they are submitted to the registrar’s office. With the approval of the faculty adviser and instructor, a student may enter or withdraw from a course according to the following requirements:
1. An addition must be made during the first week of the semester and requires the signatures of the adviser and the instructor. Students not attending a class are required/must drop the class before the end of the first week of classes; otherwise the not-attended course will default to a W grade.
2. A withdrawal from an on-campus course with a W grade may be filed in the registrar’s office after the first week of classes until 4:30 p.m. on the last day of the eighth week of the semester. If the withdrawal occurs before the end of the first week of the semester, only the adviser’s signature is needed and nothing will be entered on the student’s transcript. When a withdrawal occurs between the end of the first week and the last day of the eighth week of the semester, both the adviser’s signature and the instructor’s signature are needed, and a W (Withdrawal) will appear on the student’s transcript.
Withdrawals from a course subsequent to mid-semester shall be permitted by formal exception and only for extenuating circumstances, e.g., medical or other problems of a non-academic nature requiring an absence from class and/ or the campus. Such withdrawals require written permission signed by both the adviser and the appropriate instructor(s) and must be submitted as an exception to the policy to the associate vice president for academic programs by the student or the adviser.
3. A late registration fee is charged each matriculated student registering after the scheduled registration date. The fee will appear on the student’s bill. 4. The registrar evaluates the validity of requests for exemption from the late registration fee. 5. Registrations not finalized by the last day of the drop/add period will result in adjustments to a student’s financial aid awards based on full-time status. Students who have not finalized their schedules as of that day will lose all institutional, state, and federal grants that were calculated based on full-time status. This may also affect part-time financial aid as well.
