35 Academic Procedures REGISTRATION Students cannot attend classes without proper registration, which opens on specified dates before the start of each academic year. Students are assigned a day and time to register online and they may register any time at or after this time. Continuing students are encouraged to register for classes during early registration to secure a seat in courses and avoid late registration fees. Students are able to register for a course through the end of the add/drop period. Courses may not be added after these dates. Refer to the academic calendar on the last page for specific registration dates. The Enrollment Management office will communicate via email to notify students of assigned days and times for early registration and registration materials will be made available in the MyDenSem student portal (http://my.densem.edu). Early registration is available each spring for the upcoming academic year. The open registration period resumes immediately following early registration and is available until 6 weeks prior to each term start. Once open registration for a term has expired, students making an initial registration for the term will be assessed a late registration fee. Students will be assessed a schedule change fee for any changes in registration following the payment deadline. Students who register late risk classes being closed or cancelled. Students who register for Thesis Continuation must register for Thesis Continuation each subsequent semester until they register for Thesis Completion. Students who do not register themselves for Thesis Continuation or Completion after taking one or more semesters of Thesis Continuation will be administratively registered for Thesis Continuation. ADDING/DROPPING COURSES During the registration and add/drop period students who need to add or drop a course may do so via online registration available in the MyDenSem student portal (http://my.densem.edu). A late registration fee may be applied for students adding a course after the open registration period. A schedule change fee may be applied for students adding or dropping courses after the payment deadline. After the add/drop period, courses may only be dropped by completing the Add/Drop Request form available online and in the Registrar's Office. No courses may be added after the Add/Drop period. The Add/Drop period ends Friday, 5:00 PM (MT) of Week 1 (prior to the course start date for Intensive courses). Courses may not be converted from credit to audit after the last day to drop with a grade of "W" (refer to the course drop deadlines below). Courses may not be converted from audit to credit after the add/drop period. Refer to the grade system section for more information regarding how withdraw grades impact grade point average (GPA). Courses that are dropped within the add/drop period do not appear on the transcript, and an instructor signature is not required to drop a course during this time. Students wishing to drop classes after the add/drop period ends but before the last scheduled meeting day of a course must complete an Add/Drop form and obtain the instructor signature(s) prior to submitting the request form to the Registrar's Office. A course may not be dropped on or after the last scheduled meeting day of that class (last day of the term for fully online courses).
