Registration for Courses

It is the student’s responsibility to take the courses needed for graduation in the proper sequence. Normally, registration takes place after consultation with the academic advisor assigned by the College. Newly admitted students are advised by a staff academic advisor in the Learning Center.

Continuing students will be given a Personal Identification Number (PIN) which enables course registration via the campus computer Web Module. The PIN also allows students to drop or add courses and to access their financial information.

Students who desire to register for closed courses can use wait lists (see below). If a vacancy occurs in a course before schedules are mailed the course will be added to the student’s schedule.

After classes begin, a student desiring to register for a class that is full should go to the first and second class meeting. If a registered student misses the first two class meetings without prior arrangement with the faculty member, that registered student’s place will be given to the first person on the wait list who is present.

No student should depend on admittance to a waitlisted course. The student should register for an alternate course. If a student gains admittance to a course for which he or she was waitlisted, the student should consider dropping the alternate course. (2001-2003 Catalog and CAO Notebook)

Wait List

Students who desire to register for a course that is at capacity may be placed on the course’s wait list. If a vacancy occurs before schedules are distributed to students, that course will automatically be added to students’ schedules in the order students were placed on the list.

Once classes begin, students desiring to register for a class that is at capacity should go to the first class meeting. If a student who is registered for the class misses the first class meeting and is not present at the beginning of the second class meeting, that student’s place will be given to the first person on the wait list who is present or who has made other arrangements with the Professor for inclusion in the class. Once enrollment is accomplished, a form should be sent to the registrar indicating the names of the student added and the student who was absent who will be withdrawn from the course.
