Registration Waitlist Policy

• Students cannot register for two sections of the same course. 
• When a spot opens up in a course, the next student on the waitlist is automatically enrolled. If this causes the student to be enrolled in two sections of the same class, the student must drop one of the sections.

Time Conflict Policy

• If you wish to register for courses that overlap for up to 15 minutes, you must use the Request for Registration With Time Conflicts form to register for both courses. You must obtain the signatures of both instructors on the form, and submit it to the Registrar's Office within the appropriate period for registering. If you are concerned that one of the courses will fill rapidly, you may register for it through BoxerOnline. Include both courses and signatures on the Request for Registration With Time Conflicts form, but indicate the course for which you already have registered.
• If the time conflict is for more than 15 minutes, you must register for one of the courses through an Independent Study Contract and the other through BoxerOnline.

Winter Registration Load Policy

During Winter term, students may register for the following options:

• One 4-credit course
• One 2-credit course
• One 2-credit course and one 1-credit course (either an existing course or an Independent Study)
• Two 1-credit courses

Please Note: A course is listed with an instructor of STAFF when the instructor has not yet been assigned. In these cases, the department chair/supervisor is listed as the second instructor, so that someone is available to give instructor consent, and/or override prerequisites and co-requisites, if appropriate. This does not mean that the department chair/supervisor will teach the course.
