B. On-line Registration
Each graduate student will be assigned to an academic advisor.
Graduate students register for classes on-line. It is essential
to meet with your advisor at the start of each registration period
to discuss course selection and progress towards completion of the
degree. Once a schedule has been determined, the advisor will
remove the advising "service indicator" on the student's web
account, and the student can register at his/her convenience.
Registration dates and times are published in the schedule of
classes. For short-term classes and workshops, a student may
register on or before the first day of classes.
Undergraduate prerequisite courses can be taken only for Z
credit; this means that the grade and hours will be indicated on
the grade report and transcript but not counted towards the GPA or
towards the total graduate hours required.
Courses taken by a graduate student cannot be taken pass/fail,
but some may be taken for non-credit. A student pays the full cost
of tuition for any non-credit coursework taken.
