Registration
Every resident, post-resident, and continuation student must register at the beginning of each term, whether attending regular courses of study, carrying on research or independent reading, writing a thesis or dissertation, or utilizing any academic service or facility of the university. Registration requires enrollment in a course—whether a regular course, independent research, or a status course for post-resident and continuation students.
Some programs require summer registration. Consult the appropriate program sections of this Bulletin for details.
All students in the school of business and economics who are on semester abroad must register and enroll in ECON 290a for that semester.
Students enrolled in full-time degree programs are required to enroll in and maintain a minimum academic load of 12 credits per semester, except for their last semester (see Residency Requirements section for further details).
Please refer to the Academic Calendar for specific deadlines for adding and dropping courses. In order to drop a class after the end of the registration period, a student should receive permission from the instructor and Program Advisor. A full-time student cannot drop below 12 credits as this could change your student status and impact your visa for international students.
