Advising Week

During Advising Week, each student is required to meet with her or his Faculty Academic Advisor to review her or his academic plans for the semester.  Your Faculty Academic Advisor's signature is required on your registration form.  Be certain to check with your department to determine how and when to make an appointment to meet with your advisor. 

Registration

You are expected to register for the next semester during the designated registration period. View the Current Academic Calendar for registration dates and the Online Course Information for current course offerings and descriptions.

Change of Registration

You may add/drop normal fall semester courses according to the following schedule:

1. Adds are permitted only during first week of the semester.  You must have the signatures of the person teaching the course and of your Academic Advisor.
2. Drops without penalty are through the fifth week of the semester.  You must have the signatures of the person teaching the course and of your Academic Advisor.
3. Drops with a grade of "W" are permitted through the tenth week of the semester. You must have the signatures of the person teaching the course and of your Academic Advisor.  All drops/withdrawals after this date appears on the student transcript with a grade of "F," Grade Notification.

Note: Courses that meet for fewer than 15 weeks have different deadlines. Look at the Current Academic Calendar for all add/drop deadlines.

All Add/Drop forms must be filed with the Registrar's Office before the specified dates. Credit or grades may not be adjusted on the academic record unless the appropriate forms have been correctly filed before the deadline. Add/Drops that occur after the first day of the semester do not qualify a student for a refund of tuition or overload fees.
