REGISTRATION
Details concerning the registration procedure are given in the Schedule
of Classes
which may be obtained at the Registrar's Office before each
registration.If you are a graduate student with admission status who has not registered for a quarter or more (except summer), you must request a re-enrollment form one month in advance of the quarter in which you intend to register. Former students whose admission status has expired through time limits or graduation must apply for a time extension or reapply for admission and re-enroll.
If you have attended a regional campus and wish to enroll at the Athens campus, or vice versa, you must fill out a relocation form, available from administrative offices at each of the campuses, one month in advance of registration.
You must be registered at the graduate level in any quarter in which you receive any service from the university or use its facilities. A master's student must be registered for at least one graduate credit hour, and a doctoral student for at least two graduate hours. Any exceptions must be approved by the office of the dean of the college in which you are enrolled.
If you are currently attending the university, you may preregister for a subsequent quarter.
Identification Card
When you register, you will be given information about obtaining an identification card, issued by the Communication Network Services Office. This card, which is automatically validated when you register, gives you access to campus services for the quarter, including the meal plan, library privileges, and health services through Hudson Health Center.The card is issued free of charge according to these guidelines:
1. If you are a new student or a re-enrolling student returning after one year, you are issued a card free of charge.
2. If your name or social security number has changed, you will be issued a new card free of charge, provided you return your old card when the new one is issued.
The Communication Network Services Office charges a card replacement fee under these circumstances:
1. You will be charged $15 to replace a card lost within one year of your last quarter of enrollment.
2. You will be charged $10 to replace a damaged card if the damaged card is returned when the new card is issued.
3. You will be charged $15 for a new card containing a name or social security number change only if the old card is not returned. If you return the old card when the new one is issued, you will not be charged.
Full-Time Status
By state standards, a full-time equivalent student is one carrying 15 hours of graduate credit per quarter. The university uses this definition also. However, at the graduate level, the university uses different credit loads to define a full-time student for certain purposes. Examples are apparent as you read through this catalog.Veterans' Benefits
To receive full veterans' benefits, you must register for at least nine quarter hours of graduate work. For more information about veterans' benefits, contact the Veterans Coordinator, Chubb Hall 110.Auditing
Follow the registration procedures outlined in the quarterly Schedule of Classes to audit a course. The academic fees for auditing a course are the same as the fees for taking a course for credit. Since auditing a course is a grading option, you can change from audit to credit or credit to audit only by dropping the course and re-adding it with the correct grading option. You can make this change only during the first 14 calendar days of the quarter.Your instructor may set up specific requirements for auditing a course, and you may be removed from the course at your instructor's discretion if you do not meet those requirements. Be sure to discuss your auditing status with the instructor at the first class meeting.
Courses taken for audit cannot fulfill registration requirements for graduate appointments.
Cancellation of Registration
Your advisor or graduate chair, with the approval of the dean, may request that Graduate Student Services cancel your registration because of poor academic performance, failure to meet course prerequisites, falsified signatures, failure to provide final transcripts, or other violations of university policy.
