Registration guidelines are as follows:

1. Students must be accepted by the University and continuously enrolled to register.

2. After consulting with a faculty advisor or an academic advising specialist of the
necessary courses and course requirements, students must register on-line using
Bulldog Connection on the University Website.

3. Students must meet the payment deadline, which is usually in January for the SPRING
semester and August for the FALL semester, prior to attending classes. A late registration
period is held for students who fail to register early or during orientation; however, a
late registration fee is charged.

Schedule Adjustment
The schedule adjustment period is the first five days of classes of each semester. Students must
use Bulldog Connection to add, audit, or drop classes. After the official registration and schedule
adjustment period is over, students must use Bulldog Connection to withdraw formally from the
class by the specified deadline for that semester to avoid receiving an unsatisfactory grade for a

registered class. If the student withdraws from the class by the specified deadline for that semester,
the grade of “W” will be recorded on the transcript. A student who drops below twelve (12) semester
hours will become a part-time student. The following stipulations apply:
1. Students may add, drop, or change sections of a course before the end of the schedule
adjustment period.

2. After the schedule adjustment period, students who withdraw from a class will be
given the grade of “W.”

3. Failure to drop or withdraw from a class officially will result in a grade of “F.”

4. “FN” will be given for failure due to non-attendance.

Adding a Class
Students who are registered may add courses during open enrollment and during the add period.
If students wish to add a course that is closed, they may add the course only with the chairperson’s
approval.

Auditing a Class
Students who wish to participate in selected courses but are not seeking academic credit may opt
to enroll on an audit basis. Students must pay tuition and fees for audited courses whether
enrolled full-time or part-time.

Dropping a Class
Students who wish to drop a course(s) may do so through Bulldog Connection self-service during
open enrollment and during the drop period only. If students drop a course during the drop
period, this means that all entries for the course are dropped completely from their transcript.
It is students’ responsibility to view their schedule on Bulldog Connection and make sure their
schedule is correct.
