Registration Procedure
All students are expected to register during the periods specified in the school calendar. Complete registration procedures will be available at the time of registration.
All returning students must register online through Self Service. If necessary, a drop/add form, signed by a student’s advisor, can be submitted to the Office of the Registrar to register for classes (additional signatures may be required.)
Before registering, returning students must meet with their advisor to discuss their academic progress and to prepare for registration. Registration is not official until courses are registered in Self Service (courses must say “Registered” or “Registered, but not started”) or if applicable the drop/add form has been submitted to the Office of the Registrar and a confirmation of registration is received and financial clearance is completed.
Students who fail to complete financial clearance by the identified deadline will be withdrawn from classes.
Note: Students who choose the drop/add form option must submit the form to the Office of the Registrar in person. Forms submitted by anyone other than the student will not be accepted.
Late Registration
Late registration begins on the day after the listed registration day. Initial registration or the addition of courses is allowed up to one week after the beginning date for classes. Late registrants will be charged the late registration fee and tuition charges are retroactive to the beginning of the semester. Students registering late may be required to reduce their class load and are expected to make up course work already missed.
Changes in Registration
Adding or dropping courses are done in Self Service through the add/drop period. After the close of the add/drop period changes will not be allowed unless you are trying to add/drop a course that is offered in the second session of SGPS and it is before their add/drop deadline. Course drops made during the first week of classes will not appear on the permanent record unless the student is completely withdrawing from the university.
Audit Registration
Audit indicates registration for attendance only. A notation of “AU” will appear on the grade report if the student meets the audit attendance requirements set forth by the instructor in the course syllabus; otherwise, a notation of “W” (withdrawal) will appear.
Students may not change to or register for an audit after the last day to enter classes as stated in the academic calendar found in the Academic Catalog. The instructor’s permission is required to register for an audit. Physical activity, private music lessons and independent study courses may not be audited. Regular tuition charges and fees apply to audited courses.
Overloads
If a student is intending to take more than the regular 12-18 credits during a semester they must obtain approval from their advisor, provost and Student Financial Services prior to enrolling in anything beyond 18 credits. The Overload Request form can be obtained from the Office of the Registrar.
