Registration Procedures

Registration for each upcoming semester occurs during the middle of each current semester. For example, registration for spring semester will occur in late October or early November. Registration for the summer session and fall semester will occur in mid-April and will continue into early May.

Information is available in the appropriate Course Schedule.

You can add and drop classes until the 4^th day of classes. From the 5^th to the 12^th day, you can only drop or add courses at the discretion of the department you’re taking the course from. If you are trying to drop or add a course outside the MS&E program during this timeframe, you will need to speak to that department for help. After the 12^th day of class, adding and dropping classes is allowed only in rare and unusual circumstances. Registering after the 12^th day of classes requires a Request for Late Registration Form, as well as a petition letter to the Graduate School Dean.

Follow the dates and instructions carefully because if you miss the mid-semester deadlines, you may have to pay a late registration penalty. A late fee of $25 is assessed for registration through the fourth class day of fall or spring term (or the second class day of a summer session), $50 for registration from the fifth through the 12th class day of fall or spring term (or third and fourth class days of a summer session), and $200 for registration after the 12th class day of fall or spring term (or fourth class day of a summer session). Unless late registration is the fault of the department, you are responsible for paying the late registration fees. You are expected to register for courses yourself after your advising hold has been removed. However, if you encounter difficulties, you may contact the Graduate Program Coordinator for assistance.
