1992-1993 Academic Catalog

Registration The dates of registration for each session are listed in the college academic calendar. Early registration periods may be designated for currently enrolled students. Students are urged to register on the days provided. Nominal late registration fees are charged for registering late. Students who register early must notify the Academic Records Office if they do not return for the quarter for which they registered early. Registration materials are distributed through intracampus mail prior to respective registration periods. These materials include a Class Registration Form (CRF), registration instructions, 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 chosen class schedule and course of study. Because of this, each student is encouraged to be very familiar with the course requirements 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 available 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. Adding and Withdrawing from a Course To add or drop courses, a student must complete a form provided 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.
