Registration
All
Students must register at the beginning of each semester, whether
they were in residence the preceding semester or not. Students are
required to register at the University on the days designated. New
students will be advised regarding courses and registration
procedures during orientation sessions at the beginning of each
semester. Dates specified for new students to register are listed
in the University Calendar. All students will report for
registration as indicated in the University Calendar.
Late Registration:
Returning Students may
be allowed late registration upon the payment of a late fee of
$200.00, but no student will be permitted to register later than
the time specified in the calendar.
Changes in Registration:
Students who find it
necessary to change their program of study after registration MUST
make the change through the Registrar's Office on forms provided
for that purpose. For any such change the student must obtain the
permission of the mentor/advisor. This procedure is followed for
dropping or adding a course. Effective January 2001, only one
program change after Registration will be without cost. Any
changes beyond this initial request will result in a charge of
$10.00 per change. Prior to processing change request in the
Office of the Registrar, students should take the completed mentor
and/or advisor signed Drop/Add form to the Office of Financial
Affairs to pay the necessary fee. The Add/Drop form, along
with proof of payment, is presented to the Office of the Registrar
for processing. All program change requests should be completed
by the deadlines for the LAST DAY TO ADD and LAST DAY TO DROP
respectively. These program deadlines are provided in the
University's Academic Calendar, available in the University
catalog and from the Office of Academic Affairs.
The
adding of courses must be completed before the time for making
changes expires.
Changes in Address:
All address changes must
be made in the Registrar's Office.
