All students are required to officially register during the dates designated as such by the Academic Calendar. No course credit may be granted or attendance to class permitted for any course in which the student is not properly registered.

Registration procedures are as follows:

1. Contact the Admissions Office to complete admissions requirements.

2. Create a new account in the Living University E-Learning system.

3. You may confer with a faculty adviser to select courses (this can be done online).

4. Submit a registration request for computer entry.

5. Purchase or order required books and materials at the University Bookstore. This can be done online.

6. Pay tuition and fees.

7. Login and complete "ice breaker assignment" during the first week of class.

All students must be officially registered by the date stated in the Academic Calendar. Exceptions to this policy will be considered only when the student provides documentation of emergency circumstances (such as written doctor’s order, etc.) to the Dean of Academic and Student Affairs. In all cases, the University reserves the right to refuse registration to any student beyond the published registration dates. In addition, the University may withhold the privilege of registering for the following reasons: unpaid fees, overdue loans, overdue library books, or incomplete admissions records.

Auditing is understood as attending a course regularly, without participating in course work or receiving credit, and is permitted on a space-available basis. Nevertheless, attendance, class preparation and participation are at the discretion of the department head and/or the course faculty member. Except for Open Learning Program registration, students who seek to audit courses must have approval of the course faculty member. A course taken as an audit cannot be changed to a course taken for credit. Courses that are audited cannot be used toward certificate, diploma, or degree requirements. Students enrolled for credit will have priority over audit students for registration in a course. The tuition and fees for audit courses are the same as those taken for credit.

Students failing prerequisite courses must repeat and pass the prerequisite prior to undertaking the next course in the sequence. Courses with earned grades of "D" or "F" may be repeated in order to raise that grade. The new grade will be used in calculating the overall grade point average. When a course is repeated, the last grade is recorded as the final grade for the course, and only the last hours attempted are counted in determining the student’s grade point average; however, the previous grade is retained as part of the permanent record. Upon completion of the repeated course, the student must notify the Registrar. No additional credit toward hour requirements will be allowed for repeating courses in which the initial grade was D, except in the case of repeatable courses. In the Courses of Instruction section the maximum amount of credit is indicated for those courses which may be repeated.

Students may drop or add courses during published dates set forth in the Academic Calendar as published in this Catalog. Students should, however, confer with their faculty adviser before making any changes.

• During the Late Registration Period

Courses can be added only during the Late Registration (Drop/Add) Period set forth in the Academic Calendar. Courses that are officially dropped through the refund period will not be shown on the academic transcript. Students must contact the Registrar’s Office to complete the necessary forms.

Drops are made up until the 10% point of the semester. The student’s actual registration status is changed from registered or added to dropped. This change in status does not appear on the student’s transcript. After the 10% point, a student must officially withdraw from courses. A "W" is assigned and will be recorded on the student’s transcript.

• After the Late Registration Period

It is the responsibility of the student to drop a course(s) if he/she cannot meet the requirements of the course. Any student who stops attending classes without officially withdrawing from a course risks receiving a punitive grade for that course.

Students who find it necessary to drop a course(s) after the Late Registration (Drop/Add) Period must file a Registration Change Notice form with the Registrar’s Office. This form is available online. Students must obtain the signature of the faculty member teaching the course and the last date of attendance in the course. If a student drops a course on or before the "Last day to withdraw from a course without a grade penalty," even if their work is not of a passing grade, then a "W" is recorded (see Academic Calendar in this catalog). If a course is dropped after that date, but before the last 21 calendar days of the semester, then the instructor determines the grade. Using a Registration Change Notice form, the faculty member will at this time record a grade of "W" if passing, (not computed in GPA) or "WF" if failing, (computed in GPA).

Students who drop an individual course(s), yet remain in one or more classes during the last 18 calendar days of the semester, will receive a grade of "WF." Students who completely withdraw from the University at any time during the semester may be given a grade of "W" on all courses.

If students do not initiate the withdrawal process, the instructor is required to initiate the administrative process and to record a grade of "W" or "WF" for the course depending on the date the faculty member drops the student from the course. Students who register for a course as an audit, but then withdraw will be assigned a grade of "W" for the course.
