Registration for second-year or continuing students in CO, DE, GA, IN, NJ, NY, PA, and Washington DC
Students are registered for courses by the Registrar’s Office on their behalf for every term they are enrolled. The Registrar’s Office will not register any students on a hold. Please see Student Holds for more information. The Registrar’s Office also sends students a course enrollment verification email at the beginning of every term; if a student intends to make changes to their enrollment, they must consult with their faculty advisor and complete the course verification survey form linked within their course enrollment verification email no later than the census date of the term.
If students do not intend to be enrolled for an upcoming term, the Registrar’s Office must receive a withdrawal form or leave of absence application from students before the end of their current term of enrollment (see Terms for these dates) and no later than the census date of the upcoming term. The form and application are both accessible in Support Center. 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). For more information, please see the process for withdrawing from Relay or taking a leave of absence.
Registration, All Other Students
Students entering Relay in their first term of enrollment or through reenrollment are registered for courses by the Registrar’s Office on their behalf. In each subsequent term, students who are not on a financial registration hold will register for courses in partnership with their advisor using My Relay Portal during the registration window. The Registrar’s Office might register students for specific courses such as specific state-required Clinical Experience courses. Students needing to make changes to their courses after the registration window closes for the term will need to consult with their advisor.
The procedure to register for courses can be found below:
- How To Register For Courses
- How To Unregister From Courses
- The procedure for course changes (e.g., adding, dropping, changing a course section) can be found in the table below
If students do not intend to be enrolled for an upcoming term, the Registrar’s Office must receive a withdrawal form, a leave of absence application, or an inactive term enrollment request form from students before the end of their current term of enrollment (see Terms for these dates) and no later than the census date of the upcoming term. The forms and application are both accessible in Support Center. Students who do not submit a withdrawal form, a leave of absence application, or an inactive enrollment request form no later than the census date of the upcoming term could be administratively withdrawn from Relay. For more information, please see the process for withdrawing from Relay or taking a leave of absence. Please also see the process for administrative withdrawals.
