1988-1989 Academic Catalog

48 Academic b1f ormation Registration The dates of registration for each session are listed in the college academic calendar. Preregistration periods may be designated for currently enrolled students. Students are urged to register on the days provided. Nominal late registration fees are charged for reg– istering late. Registration materials are distributed through intracampus mail prior to respective preregistration periods. These materials include a Class Registration Form (CRF), registration instruc– tions, and class schedule for the quarter. To register for courses, each student meets with an academic advisor to discuss career direction, course options, and class schedules. Although each student has an academic advisor to help with scheduling, the student is ultimately responsible for the cho– sen class schedule and course of study. Because of this, each student is encouraged to be very familiar with the course require– ments of his or her chosen major. To signify approval of the course selection for the upcoming quarter, the academic advisor signs the Class Registration Form. No Class Registration Forms can be accepted for registration without the signature of the student's academic advisor and the student. Each student submits the Class Registration Form signed by the academic advisor to the Academic Records Office or designated registration station. Course selections are checked against avail– able openings and a final course schedule is confirmed. A Student Data Sheet (SDS) containing the final course schedule, student information, course fees, college fees, and financial aid received is produced for the student. To complete registration, the student must make financial arrangements for payment of the amount due on the Student Data Sheet. A student is not considered registered until financial arrangements have been made. (See the Financial Section of the catalog for information concerning costs and payment plans.) Changes in the course schedule may be made through the "drop-add" process. Forms for course changes are available in the Academic Records Office. Changes in a schedule caused by the cancellation of courses will not involve financial penalty. The Academic Records Office, conveniently located in Williams Hall, coordinates registration, maintains academic records, and produces course schedules. Adding and Withdrawing from a Course To add or drop courses, a student must complete a form pro– vided by the Academic Records Office. The form is to be signed by both the course instructor and the student's academic advisor. The student is required to make up any work missed due to late entrance. No courses may be added after the end of the first full calendar week without the approval of the academic vice presi– dent and faculty members teaching the courses.
