Courses taken at another institution
If you are planning on taking a course at a different institution, you must fill out the proper paperwork prior to
completing the course. This form can be found in the Registrar’s Office or on the Ex Sci noticeboard. You will fill in the
course name and number as it is offered at the other institution.
Degree Application:
This must be completed and turned into the registrar’s office one year prior to graduating. For example, if you are
graduating in May 2015, you must complete the application prior to registering for Fall 2014 classes.
If you are not graduating on time, you must notify the registrar’s office with this information. They assume everyone is
graduating in 4 years unless told otherwise. Therefore, you will have a “delinquent degree application” hold flag unless
you fill out the application on time or notify them that you are not graduating until…..
Closed courses
We do not have the authority to override you into any closed courses. You must first speak to the instructor of the
specific course, and then upon their approval, the Chair of the department in which the class is offered can register you
for the closed course. Please note that, typically, instructors and Chairs will only authorize overrides into closed courses
when it is essential for graduation or prerequisite purposes.
