General Registration Procedures

  1. Materials: The course list, catalog, and catalog supplement are all available online. 
  2. Students should consult with their advisor before completing their registration. All students who will have 56 or more credit hours by Fall 2009 must declare their majors and students who will have 92 or more credits by Fall 2009 must declare their minors at the office of the registrar and have registrations signed by the advisor(s) in the major(s) before registrations can be accepted. All applicable items on the registration form should be completed before being submitted to the registrar's office; on the schedule side, after securing section times, students should fill in all appropriate time blocks with department number (e.g. ECON 5, ENGL 1), section number, course name, and number of credits)
  3. Signatures:
    (a) Advisor's Signature: Students doing a hard copy registration should obtain their academic advisor's signature on the registration form. Registrations with forged signatures will not be accepted or will be dropped if discovered later.
    (b) Courses Requiring Signatures: Students should have signature approval for seminars and other courses so designated in the catalog and indicated by an "SR" in the scheduled codes. First-Year students should have signature approval for upper-level courses (number 100 or above); Sophomores should have approval for courses designated as open only to juniors and seniors.
  4. Pre-requisite Courses: designated by a "PR" in the schedule codes have stated pre-requisites; Students should be sure to have met these as listed in the catalog course description.
  5. Wait-Lists: Neither mere class standing nor mere time and date of registration establish ultimate priority. For example, a senior electing a course may be "bumped" by a junior or sophomore major or minor taking the course as part of the major or minor requirements.
  6. Balance of Sections: Where courses or parts thereof, such as laboratories, are offered in sections, a student's preference for a section will be honored as much as possible . However, section registrations are reviewed and where necessary changed to accommodate the maximum number of students possible or to balance sections for pedagogical reasons.
  7. Pass/Unsatisfactory: Full time students with sophomore or higher standing (26 or more credits) may elect one course per semester on a P/U basis (in addition to Physical Education courses). The course must fall outside the major and may not be used for meeting general graduation requirements. A course should be placed on P/U at the time of registration (or when a course is added during the add period); a course elected on the P/U basis may be changed to a regular graded basis only during the first two weeks of the semester. Likewise, a course elected on regular grading may be changed to that of P/U only during the first two weeks of the semester. If you are electing a course on Pass/Unsatisfactory basis, enter "P/U" after the course title on your registration form. A pass grade requires completion of course requirements at D range or higher level. Pass grades are not averaged into the students GPA. However, an unsatisfactory grade will be averaged into the student’s GPA.
  8. Maximum CLA Registration is 21 credits. Only the Academic Standing Committee may grant permission to exceed that limit; petitions are available from the registrar's office. An additional tuition charge is made for each credit carried in excess of 20 (rate per credit depends upon semester of original enrollment; see Business Office for schedule).
  9. Regularly classified degree candidates must carry a minimum of 12 credits per semester, except in the final semester of the senior year. Students registered for less than 12 credits in their last semester should contact their Financial Aid Counselor to determine eligibility for financial assistance. Students registered for less than 12 regardless of semester are not eligible for Dean's List notation.
  10. Registration for Graduate-level Courses: qualified students in the College may enroll for appropriate courses offered in the Theological or Graduate Schools, subject to the approval of the advisor, the dean of the college, the dean of the school concerned, and the instructor of the course (special forms available at the registrar's office). The student must have a grade point average in the major of at least 3.00 and must have all pre-requisites as set by the instructor and the area, including any language requirements.The total number of undergraduates in such a course may not exceed one third of the enrollment.
  11. Internship Project: Students seeking credits for field work should register for INTR 50 as a course and file project forms with the Internship Office. Students registering for INTR 50 should have signatures from the internship director. Internships are 2 or 4 credits.
  12. Transition Plans for New, Revised, or Discontinued Majors/Minors

Online Registration Instructions

1. Pending Registration

Using the course list available on the Office of the Registrar's Website (available October 26, 2009) students should start the process by working out a preferred course of study (considering the times and days of your courses). Since your first choice could be closed, you should also include alternates on your schedule as well. Some courses have separate laboratory or recitation sections be sure to include all of the course meeting days and meeting times when arranging your schedule. When you have completed your schedule, select online registration from the registrar's office website to access CampusWeb.

Enter your student ID number and PIN for CampusWeb. Use the "My Registration" option to access the on-line registration system. Input the appropriate course departments and sections. During the pending registration phase you will be able to enter courses into the computer system. HOWEVER, YOU ARE NOT OFFICIALLY REGISTERED UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED A) APPROVAL FROM YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR AND B) MADE YOUR REGISTRATION OFFICIAL DURING YOUR OFFICIAL REGISTRATION DAYS SCHEDULED ACCORDING TO YOUR CLASS STANDING, STARTING NOVEMBER 2, 2009. The system will check for time and day conflicts, course pre-requisites, business office obligations, and inform you of courses that require instructor's permission for registration.

2. Advisor Approval

When you complete your pending registration in Campus Web, click on the "submit and e-mail advisor" button.  Your registration will then be forwarded to your academic advisor for review along with an e-mail message informing him/her of this action.  You should schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss and approve your registration.  Since you must verify that you have obtained the permission of the instructor to register for a course that requires the professor's signature, please secure all required signatures before you meet with your academic advisor.  (You may use the "printer friendly" option to produce a record of your registration and to obtain any required course instructors' signatures.)

Special note:  Although the advisor has the ability to approve your registration in Campus Web, advisor approval is obtained during your appointment for advising/registration.  After meeting with your academic advisor, he/she will indicate approval or disapproval of all or part of your registration in Campus Web.

3. Official Registration

After your academic advisor approves your registration (during your schedule registration period) you will be able to make your registration official. Important note: During this process you will be notified if courses you have selected during the pending registration phase are closed. If one or more of your courses is closed, please enter the course alternates as required, that were previously approved by your academic advisor.

Additional Registration Instructions

Registration Traffic Lights

 

To assist the student body with the determination of academic advisor approval in the registration process, we have installed a system of “registration traffic lights”. These lights are located on all student’s campusweb registration screens. The following is a definition of each light:

 

Red Light - Indicates none of the courses the student submitted to his/her advisor have been approved.

 

Orange Light - Indicates some of the courses the student submitted to his/her advisor have been approved.

 

Yellow Light - Indicates all of the student’s courses submitted to his/her advisor have been approved. However the advisor has not submitted a final approval of the student’s registration.

 

Green Light – Indicates all courses submitted to the student’s advisor for registration have been approved. In addition, the academic advisor has initiated the final approval process.

 

Note: Only students with green registration traffic lights will be able to complete the registration process during their scheduled registration period. Students with a red, orange, or yellow light will not be able to complete their registration process.

More detailed instructions for registering online are available here.

Add/Drop Instructions

All students with access to our CampusWeb system have the option of processing drop/add online.

Online drop/add will operate according to the following:

Step one: Students complete a request for drop/add online and submit it to his/her academic advisor.

Step two: The academic advisor reviews the request and indicates approval or denial as required. If the advisor approves the student's drop/add request (and the course(s) in question are open) the schedule adjustment will be processed. The student will receive confirmation of the change.

Special note to students: After receiving confirmation from the CampusWeb online system that your advisor has approved your schedule and the drop/add has been processed, please carefully review your updated schedule in the CampusWeb system.
