Registration and Attendance

Registration and Advising

Registration for students is open until two weeks prior to the first meeting day for a class. Students in the ABSN Program are automatically registered with their cohort.

Although faculty and staff advisors attempt to provide the best available information, the students are ultimately responsible for course selection and construction of their program. It is the students’ responsibility to see that program requirements are met and that the courses for the intended area of concentration are taken in proper sequence.​

Class Attendance

Students are expected to attend all classes, clinical, and laboratory sessions. Further, students are expected to be on time, prepared, and active participants in all learning experiences. Attendance is essential for effective participation.

Adding, Dropping and Withdrawing from a Course

Adding a Course

Students may add a course to their schedule in consultation with their academic advisor. A course cannot be added less than two weeks before the start date of the semester/session.

Dropping a Course

Students may drop a course through the fifth day of the semester (prorated for courses that do not meet the entire semester).

Withdrawing from a Course

Students enrolled in in-person, online, or HyFlex courses may withdraw from a course within the designated withdrawal period.

    Withdrawals are allowed through the end of Week 10. A grade of W will be recorded, with no impact on GPA.
    Withdrawals requested after Week 10 result in a grade of WF, which does impact GPA.
