Registration Procedures

Policy

Registration is the formal enrollment in the University. An official registration period is scheduled before each semester. Undergraduate students are assigned a time-ticket based upon their completed earned credit hours and/or any priorities. Time-tickets can be viewed in the Cav Center within the Student Profile homepage. Formal registration is required for credit in ANY course. All students are expected to complete registration within the time published in the Academic Calendar. Students must complete their registration online through the Cav Center portal by following the steps outlined below in order to register for their semester coursework. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure all student account balances have been resolved PRIOR to registration. Students will not be permitted to register for coursework with a balance of $1,000 or above.

Freshmen work with their assigned advisor from the Office of First Year Success & Academic Advising upon entry into the University. Students typically meet with their first year advisor until they have reached sophomore status and/or have been reassigned a content advisor. Any changes to their schedule prior to the start of their first semester must follow the steps outlined within the Change in Registration policy outlined in the University catalog.

While academic advisors guide and assist students with course scheduling and sequencing, it is the responsibility of each student to ensure he/she is monitoring their progress towards completing degree requirements.
