GETTING REGISTERED
The University Registrar’s Office announces registration dates and information for each semester. The University expects students to complete registration within the published time frame.
Students are not permitted to enroll after the last day of registration without the approval of the University Registrar’s Office. Students are responsible for all registered courses, and credit may not be earned in a course without proper and timely registration.
CHANGES IN REGISTRATION
The student initiates changes in registration in the University Registrar’s Office. Any change after confirmation must be submitted on a Class Schedule Change form (also known as a Drop/Add form). The student must secure approval from the appropriate officials. The change is complete when the student submits the approved form to the University Registrar’s Office.
AUDITING COURSES
Students may benefit from auditing a class. When a course is audited, no credit is given and the work cannot be counted later for credit. Students enrolled as full-time students are permitted to enroll in one additional course by audit. Auditing is not permitted in private lessons, laboratory, performance, or skill courses. Auditing is subject to the applicable fees and refunds.
REPEATED COURSES
Courses in which C- or lower grades were received may be repeated. Other courses may not be repeated without approval of the University. The most recent grade is used in computing the cumulative grade point average. The original grade remains on the transcript. Credit hours count only once toward graduation. Tuition must be paid for repeated courses. See the University Registrar for details on appealing a course.
WITHDRAWAL FROM A COURSE
- A student may withdraw from a course without a grade of W through the tenth day of the semester.
- A student may withdraw from a course with a grade of W after the tenth day of the semester and until the last date to withdraw from a course (approximately one week after midterm). See the Academic Calendar on the web portal for specific dates.
- Grades of WF or WP are assigned to courses when the student withdraws from a course after the last day to withdraw from a course. This requires an extenuating circumstance and approval of the University Registrar.
Failing a course is not considered an extenuating circumstance. The Class Schedule Change form must be completed for any registration change. The tuition refund policy is in effect.
WITHDRAWAL FROM UNIVERSITY
- Withdrawal from the University is begun with the Student Success Coordinator. The withdrawal refund policy applies. Grades of W are assigned to all courses when the student withdraws from the University prior to the last day to withdraw from a course. Grades of WF or WP are assigned to courses when the student withdraws after the last day to withdraw from a course as designated on the Academic Calendar.
