Academic Information Academic Information numeric figure in parenthesis, e.g., (3) indicates the number of quarter hours of credit given for the course. REGISTRATION Dates for registration each quarter are listed in the college calender on pages 2 and 3 of this catalog. The schedule of registration appointments is published in each quarter's class schedule, copies of which may be obtained from the Registration Office in the Administration Building. Registration procedures and courses to be offered are described in the class schedule. Early Registration for Currently Enrolled Students—During the quarter, students currently enrolled in day school will be given an opportunity to register for day school the following quarter at times and places announced. Students will not be required to complete their registration at that time by payment of fees but may obtain courses. They must make payment of fees by the regular registration deadline to avoid the late fee penalty. Late Registration—Any registration completed after the day scheduled for regular registration each quarter is subject to the late fee penalty. Registrations after the second week of the quarter must have the approval of the Dean of Admissions and Records. In all such instances, the late entrance into the class must have the written approval of the class instructor before consideration for acceptance by the Dean of Admissions and Records. Normal Registration—Normal registration for any one quarter is 15 quarter hours, exclusive of one hour of physical education activity (usually taken each quarter of the freshman year). Freshmen students are not permitted to register for upper division courses. Sophomore students may register for upper division courses by written approval of either the course instructor or the department chairman. Maximum Registration—Maximum registration without special permission is 19 quarter hours. A student may register for additional hours with the written approval of the dean of the school in which he is majoring or the office of Academic Advisement. Petition forms requesting such approval are available in the offices of the deans and the Academic Advisement Office. Maximum registration also refers to the maximum number of credit hours for which a student may register each quarter without payment of an additional fee. An excess registration fee is charged for each credit hour over the maximum load of 19 hours. (See Fees, Tuition, page 22.) Audit Course Registration—These are courses for which no credit is desired. Only lectures courses may be taken for audit. No student participation is permitted. Laboratory and activity courses may not be taken for audit. Courses may be taken for audit and included in a full-time registration at no additional charge. Classes taken as audit by the part-time student or as excess credit are charged at the regular audit rate (see Fees, Tuition, page 23). Credit/No-Credit Registration—Any student who has completed 44 hours of college credit and who is not on academic warning or probation may register for no more than two courses each quarter on a credit/no-credit basis. The student should declare this kind of registration on his original registration but will be permitted to make a change within the first four weeks of the quarter. Changes in Registration—A student who wishes to make a change in his schedule of courses may do so by personally making supplementary entry to his Official Registration Card on file in the Registration Office. Such changes should be made within the first two weeks of the quarter. The complete policy governing changes and the schedule of deadlines for making them under the various provisions are published in the Class Schedule each quarter. No class may be added after regular registration without the permission of the instructor. A fee of $1.00 will be charged for each class added after the first week of the quarter. If a student drops a class without officially withdrawing according to procedure, or if he fails to attend a class for which he is registered, the instructor must give a UW (Unofficial Withdrawal), which will be recorded on the student's Permanent Record Card and counted as an E in computing the grade point average. Withdrawal from Course—If a student withdraws the first two weeks of the quarter, no record of the course will appear on the Permanent Record Card. If the student withdraws after the end of the second week, a W will appear opposite the course entry on the Permanent Record Card. 20 21
