1. Registration for undergraduate students cannot be processed without the hard copy or electronic signature of the appropriate academic advisor.
2. Registration will not be completed if there is an outstanding financial encumbrance from a prior term(s) and arrangements for payment have not already been made with the Student Finance Office.
3. A late fee ($30) is charged to graduate students for registration processed on or after the first day of the week before the term begins.
4. Students must be registered for a class that they attend.
5. Enrollment in courses is not permitted after the first week of the term.  The deadline to drop a course is the last day of the second week of the term.  After this day, it is considered a withdrawal from the course.

Undergraduate Students - A student in good academic standing (not on warning or probation) who has no outstanding in-progress courses is permitted to register for up to 21 quarter hours without special approval in any terms except in certain professional sequence terms. Any student who wishes to register for more than 21 quarter hours must submit a written petition to the appropriate department/program administrator for approval. The approved petition should be directed to the University Registrar the term before the student wishes to register for the overload. A student on academic probation may not carry more than 16 quarter hours. A student completing "I" grades from previous terms may have his/her credit hours limited to allow time for successful completion of the In-progress courses. The student will be notified by the Registrar's Office, if the credit hours are to be limited.

Graduate Students - Some programs require students to register for their programs at a designated registration meeting. Those students will be notified of the locations and times prior to the registration meetings.

A student may audit a course, participating in any and all requirements of the course including examination. Auditors will not receive academic credit for the course and must indicate audit at the time of registration. Change to a credit enrollment may be made only during the first week of class. Auditors pay regular tuition.

The undergraduate unit of college credit is the quarter hour.  Twelve quarter hours per term is considered full-time enrollment.  Six quarter hours per term enables undergraduate students to be eligible for financial aid.  Degree-seeking students are classified as follows:

• freshmen (fewer than 45 quarter hours completed)
• sophomores (at least 45 but fewer than 90 quarter hours)
• juniors (at least 90, but fewer than 135 quarter hours)
• seniors (at least 135 quarter hours)

The graduate unit of credit is the semester hour. Starting summer 2007, for students in terms that are 15 weeks or greater, eight semester hours per term is considered full-time enrollment and four semester hours per term is considered half-time.  For students in 10 or 11 week terms, six semester hours is considered full-time enrollment and three semester hours is considered half-time.  Half-time enrollment enables graduate students to be eligible for financial aid.

Students may register in person at any campus or by mail or fax to the Office of Admissions & Records on the Wheeling campus.
