Prior to Registration

If you are completing a registration form it must be signed by the student's advisor(s) before it will be processed by the Registrar's Office. The Undergraduate and Graduate registration forms can be downloaded here.

 Any Women's College student who wishes to register for 18.5 or more credit hours must obtain the approval and signature of Jane Bourhill, Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Programs. Forms can be left at Dean Bourhill's office for her signature. Her office is located on the 2nd floor in Santa Rita Hall. Please keep in mind that Women's College students who register for more than 18 credits in a fall or spring semester will be charged for those additional credits at the per credit tuition rate in effect for that academic year.

Course schedules for Drew and Fairleigh Dickinson Universities are available on their WEB sites. (www.drew.edu and www.fairleighdickinson.edu) Any student planning to cross register at Drew or Fairleigh Dickinson must complete a cross-registration form. These forms can be downloaded here, and should be submitted to the CSE Registrar's Office. You must be registered for 12 CSE credits before cross registering.

Students are responsible for knowing which courses are required to complete their major and the rules and regulations of the College. This information is available in the College Catalog. While all students have an academic advisor, the student is expected to assume responsibility for their progress and degree completion.

Waitlist - Important Change!

The waitlist process will now be automated. If you are on a waitlist for a class and a seat becomes available, you will receive an e-mail letting you know that a seat is available and that you have 5 days to add yourself into the class (as long as your account is cleared). If you miss the deadline for that available seat, the computer will automatically make that seat available for the next person on the waitlist.You must check your CSE e-mail account frequently!

Steps to Register for a Waitlisted Class

  • Go to the "Register" tab on Self Service
  • Choose "Traditional Courses"
  • Select the 2012/Fall Period
  • COURSE ID (one you received an e-mail about) should appear on the screen - it will say 'waitlist pending' under status
  • Make sure the box towards the left of the course listing has a check mark in it
  • Hit the "Next" button on the bottom
  • Hit the "Next" button on the bottom of the next screen

Add/Drop

During the first week of classes students can drop and add courses to their schedule. Students must complete an "add/drop" form and obtain the signature of their advisor(s). Refer to the academic calendar (which can be located on Self Service) for the dates of the drop/add period for all College divisions.

Withdrawal

Following the add/drop period students are permitted to withdraw from a class with the permission of their Advisor and their Dean or their Program Director (for Graduate students). These courses are assigned a grade of "W" on the student's transcript. Refer to the academic calendar for the dates of the withdrawal period for each College division. A withdrawal form needs to be submitted to the Registrar's Office.

Non-payment of tuition and/or non-attendance in a course does not constitute acceptable withdrawal. All necessary paperwork must be filed with the Registrar's Office. Students who are cross-registered at Drew or Fairleigh Dickinson Universities withdraw from courses according to the above procedure.
