Students are expected to participate in pre-registration periods prior to their next term of attendance.
The semester schedule of classes carries instructions regarding registration and, in the calendar, shows the dates of the various steps in the registration procedure. This pre-registration program makes it possible to start classes promptly.
Some individuals who were not enrolled in the preceding semester or term register immediately preceding the beginning of classes, and there are always some who have special permission to register in the late registration period (see the Catalog) after the beginning of classes. The penalties for late registration keep the number of latecomers low.
Student enrollment adjustments outside calendar deadlines must be authorized by the instructor of the class and/or the departmental chairperson. Pending on how late the adjustment request occurs - additional signature authorizations may be required.
