REGISTRAR

Students must obtain their Academic Advisor’s approval to register for courses. While advisors assist in the process, students bear the ultimate responsibility for planning and selecting courses that fulfill their degree requirements and ensuring they meet course prerequisites. It is strongly advised that students register during early registration week to secure the desired courses and sections, allowing advisors ample time to review and approve schedules.

Registering for courses signifies the student’s intent to participate in those courses for the current term and academic year. By registering, the student acknowledges and agrees to abide by the policies and procedures of AUM.

For additional information and advice regarding their program and/or course registration, students should consult their respective Academic Advisors. All students are assigned an Academic Advisor to assist in planning and monitoring progress toward program completion.

All students must complete their initial enrollment before the first day of classes for the semester. Students must complete registration changes within the scheduled adjustment period as indicated in the Schedule of Classes. The last day for adding or dropping a course is published in the Academic Calendar and on the website each semester.

Students must remain actively enrolled through continuous registration, except during periods of an approved leave of absence. Failure to register for two consecutive semesters will result in institutional withdrawal.

Students who wish to add a class(es) after the add classes deadline due to unusual circumstances beyond their control must receive approval from the Provost in consultation with the faculty advisor concerned.

Students must be registered before the first day of classes but may adjust their schedules during the Drop/Add period. A student dropping the last class in which he/she is enrolled should consult the Withdrawal Procedures in the AUM Catalog.

Students do not receive written confirmation of schedule changes. They are responsible for checking their schedules in their OIS portal before the end of the add/drop period to verify that their schedules are correct and that they are properly enrolled.

For information regarding deadlines and procedures, students should consult the Registrar’s Office and the Academic Catalog.

Official withdrawal removes students from any academic program and cancels the student’s status. In order to return to the university, students need to apply for readmission through the Admissions Office. Students who wish to withdraw must complete a Withdrawal form available in the Registrar’s Office.

Students must get clearance from all university departments to withdraw. If the student completes the withdrawal process satisfactorily and meets all financial obligations, the Registrar notes the effective date of withdrawal on the student’s permanent academic record.

The effective date of the withdrawal will be used for calculating billing or refunds. The mark of a “W” will be recorded on the student’s academic record.
