Registration

Op3.04-39 Registration

The University permits currently enrolled, admitted, readmitted, and reinstated students to register in advance of each academic term during designated registration periods. Students are responsible for complying with all registration requirements, published deadlines, academic policies, and financial obligations associated with enrollment.

Advisor Release Requirements

Students in the following categories must obtain advisor approval or release prior to registration each semester:

• Undergraduate students who have earned fewer than 75 undergraduate credits. In-progress credits do not count toward this requirement.
• Undergraduate students who have received fewer than three prior spring or fall advising releases.
• Undergraduate students on academic probation or other academic performance plans.
• Readmitted or reinstated undergraduate students.
• Graduate students, unless exempted by their academic program.

Registration Eligibility and Holds

Students who have completed a semester in good academic standing and who return within one calendar year under the same academic classification are not required to apply for readmission prior to registration.

Students with registration holds are prohibited from registering, making schedule changes, or enrolling in future terms until all holds have been resolved. Registration holds may include, but are not limited to:

• Academic advising requirements
• Financial obligations to the University
• Student conduct sanctions
• Health, immunization, or compliance requirements
• Required training or administrative documentation
• Other institutional obligations

Students are responsible for monitoring and resolving holds in a timely manner.

Course Eligibility and Enrollment Requirements

Students are responsible for ensuring that they meet all published prerequisites, corequisites, program restrictions, and enrollment requirements before registering for a course. The University reserves the right to administratively remove students from courses for which eligibility requirements have not been met.

Enrollment in a course is not guaranteed until registration has been successfully completed and verified through official University records.

Class Attendance and Participation

Only students who are officially registered for a course may attend and participate in that course. Exceptions must be approved by the instructor, the academic unit leader, and the Office of the Registrar.

Visitors who are not seeking academic credit may attend class sessions on a limited basis at the discretion of the instructor and in accordance with University policy.

Add, Drop, Withdrawal, and Waitlist Procedures

Students must adhere to all published deadlines related to course registration, adds, drops, withdrawals, and waitlists. Registration activity occurring after established deadlines may require additional approvals and may be subject to fees or other restrictions.

Placement on a waitlist does not guarantee enrollment in a course. Students are responsible for monitoring their enrollment status and taking any required actions before published deadlines.

Student Responsibility and Financial Obligation

Registration creates a financial obligation for all applicable tuition, fees, and related charges. Students who cease attending classes remain responsible for officially dropping or withdrawing from courses in accordance with University procedures.

Non-attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal. Failure to properly withdraw from classes may result in:

• Assignment of failing grades;
• Continued financial obligations;
• Loss of eligibility for refunds, financial aid adjustments, or other academic benefits.

Registration Deadlines

Students are responsible for meeting all published registration deadlines. Failure to register, resolve holds, obtain required approvals, or make schedule adjustments by established deadlines may result in late fees, loss of enrollment opportunities, or other administrative actions as determined by the University.
