Registration Appointments

• Registration appointments are issued to new and continuing students the week before registration begins each semester. During this week students may obtain a registration appointment by accessing the Internet at weber.edu (click on "current students" and then log in with your Wildcat e-mail username and password). 
• Students are assigned a registration appointment time on the basis of their earned hours. Earned hours include hours earned with a passing letter grade and hours earned through credit by examination.

First Registration Phase - (Registration by Appointment)

• During this registration phase, students may register starting at their appointed time.
• On their assigned day and appointed time, students should access the registration system on the Internet at weber.edu (click on "current students" and then log in with your Wildcat e-mail username and password). 
• Billing statements for tuition and fees are mailed following the first registration phase, and students may pay by mail, by credit card or on-line to avoid lines at the cashier's windows.
• Refer to weber.edu/accounting/cashiers/ to obtain information about payment deadlines and tuition and fee amounts.
• Courses will be dropped if payment is not received by the posted deadlines.

Second Registration Phase - (Open Registration)

Once appointment registration is complete, "open registration" continues and all students are allowed access to register and/or make changes to their class schedules on a first-come-first-served basis.

• During the second phase of registration, all students may register or make changes by accessing the registration system on the Internet at weber.edu (click on "current students" and then log in with your Wildcat e-mail username and password).
• Billing statements will not be mailed following this phase. Students who register during "open registration" must pay in person at the cashier's windows, or by credit card, by the posted deadlines.

Changes in Registration

• Students may add and drop classes via the Internet or at the registration windows (main campus, Davis campus, West center and Morgan center) during the first and second registration phases and during the first week of the semester.
• During the second week of the semester, students may drop classes at the registration windows at their own discretion, but classes can only be added with instructor approval.
• Classes may also be dropped during the third week of the semester, but they may not be added.
  For information on dropping classes after the third week, see the instructions for Withdrawal.
  Students are strongly encouraged to plan their class schedules in consultation with an advisor to avoid unnecessary changes and ensure efficient progress toward completion of degree requirements.
• Students receiving financial aid should be careful not to reduce their credit hour load below the minimum number of hours required by their award level.

Closed Classes

• Only academic departments and instructors have the authority to admit students to closed classes.
• Students may contact the individual department and/or the instructor for specific procedures regarding admission to closed classes.

Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) Registration

• Students may choose to register for a class on a credit/no-credit basis within the following guidelines. (These restrictions do not apply to courses which are offered  only on a CR/NC basis as listed in the course description.)
• Students who have completed less than 30 credit hours may register for only one CR/NC class per semester.
• Students who have completed 30 or more credit hours, and have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00, may register for a maximum of two CR/NC classes per semester.
• The CR/NC option may be selected via the Internet or in-person at the registration windows during all phases of registration, i.e., through the first week of the semester, or a course may be changed to CR/NC within the first nine weeks of the semester at the registration windows in the Student Service Center on the main campus, or at the Davis campus, West center or Morgan center.

Please Note:

• CR/NC courses do not count toward general education or major/minor requirements.
• A maximum of 20 hours of CR/NC courses may be applied toward graduation.
• Credit (CR) will be recorded for earned letter grades of C- and above.
• No Credit (NC) will be recorded for grades below C-.
• Students who stop attending a class for which they have registered CR/NC, without officially withdrawing, will be given an NC grade entry for that class.
• Students who later change their program of study and need a letter grade for major or minor requirements may petition through the Registrar's Office for a CR to be changed to a letter grade.

Audit Course Registration

• Students may register to attend a class on an "audit" basis, i.e., without earning credit or a grade, if there is space available in the course.
• A course may be selected for audit during registration or changed to audit within the first nine weeks of the semester with the consent of the instructor.

The deadlines for the summer term will vary. 

Please Note:

• Audit students failing to attend class may be issued a withdrawal (W) at the discretion of the instructor.
• Tuition and fees must be paid according to the current schedule.
• Some courses are not open to audit registration.
• Senior Citizens (Utah residents ages 62 and over) may audit a course for a $10.00 fee per semester, on a space available basis, by applying at the Admissions Office. Senior Citizen students selecting this option for courses do not have the option to receive a letter grade nor credit on their transcript for these courses.

Registration Credit Hour Loads

• It is recommended that undergraduate students planning to graduate with a bachelor's degree in four years, register for at least 15 credit hours per semester.
• Undergraduate students are classified as full-time if they register for 12 or more credit hours, as three-quarter time with 9 credit hours, and as half-time with 6 credit hours.
• Graduate students are classified as full-time if they register for 9 or more credit hours, and as half-time if they register for 5 or more credit hours.

To drop courses after the first week of school students must contact the Registration Office. Courses dropped during the first three weeks will not appear on the transcript.
• From the fourth through the ninth week of the semester, students may withdraw from individual classes by completing a "Withdrawal from Class" form and submitting the completed form to the Registration Office. Courses dropped during this period will appear on the transcript with a "W" notation.
• Students may completely withdraw from the semester by dropping all classes at the Registration Office or at the Davis Campus up to and including the last day of the ninth week of the semester.

Surcharge

In 2003 the Utah State Board of Regents passed a policy designed to encourage students to make reasonable progress toward completion of degree requirements. The policy states that students who exceed 135% of the credits required for completion of their baccalaureate degree will be charged the full cost of instruction. For example, a student whose program of study requires 126 semester credit hours will be allowed a maximum of 170 semester hours in which to complete degree requirements (126 credits x 1.35 = 170 credit hours). Any work beyond the allowed 135% will be charged at the full cost of instruction which is an additional $60 per credit hour.  

Credit hours that do not count toward the 170 hours are concurrent enrollment, advanced placement, and credit by examination. Individuals are also exempt from the surcharge if:

• the credits are necessary for the student to complete the student’s program of study; and the excess credits are a result of circumstances where a substantial number of credits from a transferring institution could not be applied to the program of study;

• the excess credits are a result of a reasonable enhancement of the student’s major by the addition of a minor or emphasis to the program of study; or

• the excess credits are the result of a re-entry into the educational system by a student who may have accumulated a large number of credits, or even completed degrees, but where employment requirements obligate his or her return to college.
