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.
Students should register themselves through their EagleWeb accounts. However, they may do so as a group during part of a class session.
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.
A student who is not part of a cohort program needs to meet with the academic advisor to identify the course work needed for the next semester. Then the student may register individually.
A student who is part of a cohort program may meet with the advisor to clarify any questions about progress in the program. Cohort students may register individually as part of class time, under the guidance of the instructor during the Advising/Registration period.
Drop/Add Policies
Once registration is complete, a student requesting a scheduling change must complete a drop/add form with the advisor’s or program coordinator’s signature.
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 Graduate Catalog 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 in the Graduate Catalog Academic Calendar. A student may drop any course and add another during the drop/add period. No course may be added beyond this time.
- During the Drop/Add period, a student may add or drop courses by completing a drop/add form in the Office of the Registrar, or by Web Registration. The Program Coordinator/Adviser must sign the drop/add form.
- 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/add form and submitting it to the Registrar’s Office. Tuition will be charged for course withdrawals after the drop/add period. A student who wishes to withdraw from a class must obtain the signature of the instructor of the course on the drop form. 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.
