How does registration for courses work?

Students are registered for courses by the Registrar’s Office on their behalf for every term they are enrolled. The Registrar’s Office will notify students after they have been successfully registered for courses in the upcoming term no later than the end of the registration window. The Registrar’s Office will not register any students on a hold. Please see Student Holds for more information.

If students do not intend to be enrolled for an upcoming term, the Registrar’s Office must receive a withdrawal form or approved leave-of-absence application from students before the end of their current term of enrollment. Students who do not submit a withdrawal form or leave of absence application before the end of their current term will remain registered for the upcoming term and will be responsible for applicable term tuition and fees should they fail to take action prior to the term census date (see Census Dates and Billing Due Dates and Refunds for more information). The withdrawal form and leave of absence application can be found in Support Center. Leaves of absence must be approved by the campus Dean's Office before they can be processed.

The registration windows for school year 2019–20 can be found in Table 8. These dates apply to all enrolled students seeking course registration for a term, including students returning from a leave of absence, withdrawal, administrative withdrawal, or program dismissal.

Late Registration

Students who cannot be registered by the registration deadline each term due to student holds will beregistered during the late registration window. Students who cannot be registered by the late registration deadline will be administratively withdrawn effective at the end of the current term. Please see Student Holds for additional details. The registration window can be found in Table 8.

 Late Registration Fee

There is a $55 fee for late registration. This fee will be billed during the term to which the registration applies and will be subject to the same refund policy as that term’s tuition charge. For example, if students are registered during the late registration window for the spring term, the late registration fee will appear on their spring bill. A late registration fee will not be charged to students who opt to go on tuition payment plans and are current on their payment plans or students who have submitted all loan paperwork for a loan that fully covers their outstanding balance prior to the start of late registration window. Late enrollment in the program will not exempt students from the late registration fee.
