General Information

REGISTRATION INFORMATION
Students are eligible to attend classes and receive grades only if they are properly registered, have signed in on registration day, and have received financial clearance. Any student who is not properly registered will be denied entrance to class. Fulfillment of registration requirements is the individual student's responsibility. All students are required to read and follow procedures and guidelines outlined by the Registrar in the Schedule of Classes. Students with a cumulative average below 3.25 may register for an overload (i.e., more than 16 semester hours) only with the permission of their academic advisor. They will be billed for the overload credits as outlined in the current Catalog.

PAYMENT OF FEES
Bills for Spring will be provided for all students who have registered by November. All bills are due on December 15 (monthly plan begins November 15). No student will be allowed to occupy housing, eat at the cafeteria or attend classes until he/she is financially clear, registered and confirmed.

VALIDATION OF REGISTRATION FOR SPRING SEMESTER
All students must validate their Spring Registration at the designated time in November. Failure to validate Registration will result in cancellation of registration. Students must validate registration by the last day of Fall Semester classes.

CONFIRMATION OF REGISTRATION
All students must confirm registration at the designated times. Students who have outstanding bills will not be allowed to confirm registration until satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Bursar's Office.

ROOM DRAW
To participate in room draw, students must have paid the room deposit and must provide an approved Registration receipt (pink copy of registration form).

STUDENT SCHEDULE
Students are registered for the courses that appear on the student schedule which is provided at confirmation of registration. Students are responsible for any changes required to correct their enrollment. Failure to deliver a completed Change of Registration Status form to the Registrar's Office may result in additional charges, late fees or failing grades for courses not dropped. Sitting in class without officially registering does not mean that credit will be awarded. It is the responsibility of the student to insure that he or she is properly enrolled in the correct courses.

LATE REGISTRATION
Late registration is permitted only in exceptional cases and upon payment of a late fee which cannot be billed. Only in rare cases will a student be allowed to register or add a course after the beginning of the second week of classes. Late fees will be assessed at the rate published in the Current COLLEGE CATALOG. Payment must be received before the add will be processed.

ADD-DROP PERIOD
The first week of classes is the Add-Drop Period; FOR SUMMER SESSIONS, IT IS THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF CLASSES. Courses may be added or dropped during this period. Tuition charges are established based on one's course load at the end of the Add-Drop period.

WITHDRAWAL
Withdrawing from one or more courses or from the College after the Add-Drop Period will result in a W on the transcript for each such course. This will be the case for the first four weeks of classes of a fall or spring semester and through the first week of classes of a summer session. No fee is assessed for such actions. However, such courses are included in the tuition charges for a semester or summer session. Students may not, on their own initiative, withdraw from courses after the first four weeks of fall or spring semester or the first week of a summer session. Withdrawal after these periods may be initiated only by the instructor; in each such instance, the grade reported will be WP or WF. This action must be taken by the end of the semester in which the course was given, and cannot be reversed. Students who withdraw from the College during the final four weeks of a semester or the final week of a summer session may receive grades of WP or WF only under extenuating circumstances and with the approval of the Vice President of Academic Affairs.

AUDITING A COURSE
A student who elects to enroll in a course for no credit, may do so by marking audit in the appropriate block on the registration form. A students may not change from credit to audit or the reverse after the first week of classes (add/drop period). Audit courses are posted on the academic record with the grade notation of "AU" with no academic credit awarded. See the Tuition and Fees section of the College Catalog for billing information.


CLASS STANDING
Class Standing is determined by the successful completion of the requisite number of semester hours:
Freshman 0-25
Sophomore 26-55
Junior 56-87
Senior 88+
