Following acceptance for admission to the University, students may register for a program of study that is in keeping with their academic plans and for which they meet the stated prerequisites.

Formal enrollment is complete only when the student's name appears on the Class Roll Sheet. Once enrolled, students may drop or add a class only by means of an official Add / Drop Form. Any class dropped or added requires confirmation by the instructor and must be recorded in the Registrar's Office. A class not officially dropped will result in an F grade; a class not officially added receives no credit.
