Before Registration

Each semester, students must consult with their faculty advisors for approval of class schedules for the coming semester. This academic advising will ordinarily take place after the publication of the University Course Schedule , that is, several weeks before registration. Students who do not have an advisor or who have not declared a major must consult with the Leckrone Academic Resource Center. Once a major has been declared, a student will ordinarily be advised by a faculty member from his or her major department.

Each student must see his or her advisor or a staff member from the Leckrone Academic Resource Center to obtain a recommended sequence of courses. Each major department has developed a recommended sequence which blends the general education and major requirements together in a reasonable and systematic fashion. Thereafter, the advisor must sign the student’s registration card each semester prior to registration. The student must obtain a registration access code from his/her advisor in order to register online.

All financial obligations, including unpaid tuition and fees, library and traffic fines, and residence hall charges, must be paid for the current semester before a student can register for the next semester, or a satisfactory payment plan must be arranged with the Bursar. Specific information on financial obligations can be found in the section of this catalog titled “Financial Information”
