Common Registration Errors

Forgetting to pay your fee bill by the published payment deadline.

The payment deadline for fall and spring semesters is always the 4th class day of the semester.

The payment deadline for summer is always the 2nd class day of the semester.

Payment MUST be received by 5:00 pm on that day or your registration will be canceled.

Forgetting to confirm a $0 fee bill balance by the published payment deadline.

The confirmation deadline for fall and spring semesters is always the 4th class day of the semester.

The confirmation deadline for summer is always the 2nd class day of the semester.

Confirmation MUST be done by 5:00 pm on that day or your registration will be canceled.

Not checking your schedule by the 12th class day (4th class day in summer) to be sure you are registered correctly.

The 12th  class day of the fall/spring semesters (4^th in the summer) is the LAST day you can drop for a refund and/or add a class. It is your responsibility to make sure you are registered in the correct courses.

Not paying for an added class by the 12^th (4^th for summer) class day.

If your fee bill is paid by the payment deadline, but you then add a class afterward, you must pay for the added class no later than the 12th class day or your registration may be canceled.

Failing to heed deadlines for adding/dropping courses, changing grade status, applying to graduate, etc.

At the beginning of each semester you should check the university’s academic calendar online, and/or the information sheet provided by the graduate coordinator, to learn the various important deadlines for that semester. Although the graduate coordinator will make every effort to alert students of upcoming deadlines, it is ultimately your responsibility to remember those dates.

IMPORTANT : These deadlines are set by the Graduate School and/or Registrar. The instructor of a course or your supervising professor has no authority to supersede these deadlines.
