Registration
University Policy
An officially registered student is one who is registered for classes and who has settled all charges with Student Accounting Services.
Candidates for admission to degree programs may not register until they receive a formal statement of acceptance. Students accepted to the University register according to instructions provided by their school or college.
Continuing students register for courses in October or November for the spring semester and March or April for the fall semester. Eligible continuing students may access the Student Link (a Web-based system) to register for courses for the semester.
The student’s account is charged tuition and fees based on the student’s status and class selection. Students can view their student account and make payment online using the Student Link. Students may also give access to their student account details to their parents, guardian, or other third party by selecting the “Share-a-view” feature on the Student Link and following the instructions.
Official registration is complete when Student Accounting Services receives full payment. A late payment fee may be assessed to those students who do not complete official registration by August 5, 2011, for Fall 2011, and December 16, 2011, for Spring 2012.
School of Management Policy
Graduate
Part-time Status
Students may register for up to 11.5 credits in a given semester to maintain part-time enrollment status. The typical course load for graduate students is between 3 and 9 credits per semester. Students who have been enrolled part-time since they began their may register for 12 credits (and 12 credits only) in their last semester of study and pay by the credit (instead of paying the full-time tuition rate). To take advantage of this payment arrangement, students should notify their advisor in writing. Part-time students should be aware that enrolling in a full-time course load, even at 12 credits during their last semester, will have an impact on payment options and plans available to them.
