The Registration process occurs during the spring and summer semesters for the next fall semester and during fall semester for the next spring classes. MFA students should register during the summer for fall classes.
The process begins during the Advising/Registration period, so designated on the Academic Calendar. The student begins the process by checking his or her individual EagleWeb account to be sure that there are not any registration “holds” from the Business Office or Financial Aid Office. Any account holds will need to be cleared in order to register.
Drop/Add Policies
Once registration is complete, a student requesting a scheduling change must complete an Add Course form or a Drop Course form in order to request a change in schedule. Changes will be forwarded to the program coordinator for approval.
Students may not add classes after the published drop/add period. Each term’s deadline is printed in the Academic Calendar. It is the student’s responsibility to check the Academic Calendar for deadlines that apply to the drop/add period and withdrawal from graduate classes.
The specific procedures and policies are as follows:
- The Drop/Add Period is listed on the Academic Calendar. A student may drop any course and add another during the drop/add period with advisor approval. No course may be added or dropped beyond this time.
- During the Drop/Add period, a student may add or drop courses by completing an Add Course form or a Drop Course form on SoftDocs Etrieve. The Program Coordinator/Adviser must approve the change in schedule.
- After the Drop/Add period, a student may withdraw from a course up to the academic withdrawal date of the respective course, as designated on the Academic Calendar, by completing a Drop Course form on SoftDocs Etrieve. Tuition will be charged for course withdrawals after the drop/add period. Students withdrawing after the drop/add period and prior to the academic withdrawal date of the term will receive a “W.” After the academic withdrawal date, students who initiate a withdrawal receive an “F” or a “U” for the class, depending on the program. Students who do not follow this procedure will receive an “F” or a “U” depending on the program.
- Any student who is unable to continue attendance in class should either drop the course or withdraw from the University.
