The registrar's office does
not enforce online checking of course prerequisites. Students
are informed that they may enroll in courses without the stated
prerequisites only by permission of the
instructor and department chair. Instructors should verify
at the first class meeting that students have met the stated
prerequisites.
During the early registration
periods in November and April, students are permitted to register
online for permission courses. A student's registration status
in the course will be changed to "registration pending"
and the registrar's office will contact the instructor to
determine if the student has been accepted into the course.
Students are instructed to contact the instructor regarding
eligibility requirements. Registration in a permission course
is conditional until acceptance by the instructor is confirmed
with the registrar's office. At the close of the early
registration period, we will contact all instructors of permission
courses to confirm enrollment. Instructors should understand
that students registered with a status of "registration
pending" are not considered officially enrolled and will
be dropped before the add/drop period if acceptance is not
confirmed.
Once the semester begins,
students may not register online. To register, students
must obtain the instructor's signature on a restrictions waiver
form to be submitted to the registrar's office.
are open
to juniors, seniors and graduate students only. Exceptions
are by petition to the Administrative Board. Students must
submit an approved special/advanced studies form to the registrar's
office. Blank forms are available in the registrar's
office and online at forms.
If a course is limited and
does not require the permission of the instructor, students
will be allowed to register online up to the stated limit.
During the early registration periods in November and April,
this means that by default the priority for enrollment is
by class standing. Instructors who wish to set other priorities
should contact the registrar's office.
Once maximum enrollment
in a limited course is reached, students interested in enrolling
in the course may place their names on a waitlist. Waitlisting
is not an automatic process; that is, the registrar's office
will not automatically move students from the waitlist into
the course as spaces become available. Waitlists are for instructors'
use only in filling spaces that become available once the
semester begins.
Instructors of limited courses
may view their waitlists online via BannerWeb. Waitlists are
not final until entering students have completed registration
just before the semester begins. Students are not permitted
to add their names to waitlists once classes begin.
Waitlisted students and
others interested in enrolling are instructed to attend the
first class meeting in order to secure a space. Those
who are subsequently admitted may be required to obtain the
instructor's signature on an add/drop form. Students who do
not obtain permission before adding a limited course online
are not guaranteed a space in the class. Instructors
who have questions or complications concerning students adding
their names to limited courses without permission should contact
the registrar's office to clarify their status.
Instructors of limited courses
who wish to drop students for non-attendance or non-acceptance
should contact the registrar's office.
As students register in
order of their class standing, there is a default priority
given to upperclass students. If departments and/or instructors
wish to set other priorities for sections or other limited
courses, they should contact the registrar's office. Restrictions
and priorities should be stated in official course descriptions.
All courses that have class and/or major restrictions
stated in current course descriptions have been coded appropriately
for registration purposes.
- Class/Major Restrictions:
Courses may be coded to restrict enrollment according to
class standing or major. For example, all seminars and special
studies have been coded to exclude first-year students and
sophomores.
- Reserved Seating:
Courses may be coded to allow only a specific number of
registrations in designated classes and/or majors.
Students are admitted to
course sections up to the limits stated in official course
descriptions or those defined by the department. Students
may also be admitted according to other priorities defined
by the department. Instructors responsible for a multiple
sectioned course who are concerned about enrollment procedures
should contact the registrar's office.
Instructors who do not allow
the S/U grading option in their courses, should contact the
registrar's office. Any student changing the grading
option after the first ten days of classes will be required
to obtain the signatures of the instructor, adviser and class
dean. The deadline for changing the grading option is the
end of the ninth week of classes. All instructors are required
to keep and submit final letter grades. Grades will be converted
appropriately by the registrar's office.
