After Registration

Get confirmation of your registration. After registering print a confirmation of your registration, or request a confirmation. Check this carefully and keep a copy for your records.

Pay tuition before the deadline. The tuition deadline is found in the academic calendar. If you plan to use financial aid, apply early and make certain your financial aid will pay by the deadline.

Warning: Students are dropped for non-payment after the tuition deadline, and once dropped, will find it difficult to get back into a closed course. For those who are not able to get into a course keep checking the website for possible openings.

Know the deadline for drop/add. Students may add classes prior to the second class meeting. Students may drop classes and get a refund through the 7th day of the term. This policy may change, so please refer to the information found in the academic calendar. Independent studies (FDIS) are on a different time frame for drop/add/withdraw which can also be found on the academic calendar.

Use NetDirect to access online courses, your email, academic records, the online library, and important school announcements.

Access your online course. Students must have web access and an email account by the time the term starts. Students will be required to participate online on a regular basis and submit assignments by due dates. Use NetDirect to access your online course.

Prepare for independent studies. Refer to the class schedule for detailed instructions. For example,

  1. Instructor’s permission required before registering
  2. Contact the instructor for course materials, or
  3. Contact a specific department (ie.,history department) for a course packet by a certain date.


If there are no specific instructions, after registering contact the instructor directly.
