Course Registration Procedures
Continuing students register for courses on-line using WINDOW (Wheaton Information Delivered on the Web). Students obtain a new registration PIN number from their faculty advisor in each advising period preceding the registration week. Students away from the campus at these times will be contacted by the Registrar and may follow different procedures for submitting their course registrations. Students not registered or improperly registered may not receive credit for their work.
Students may change course registrations without penalty or fee within the first seven days of instruction each semester by logging into WINDOW to drop or add courses. Students wishing to add a course after the seventh day of instruction may do so only with the written permission of the instructor and payment of a late fee. Students may drop courses without penalty or fee at any time before the mid-semester date, provided they maintain a normal course load (at least four credits) and have consulted a faculty advisor. No course may be dropped if it takes a student below a normal course load, or after the mid-semester deadline, without the approval of the Committee on Admissions and Academic Standing.
The basic steps for degree seeking students to register via WINDOW are:
1. Prior to course selection week, schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to plan your program of study and obtain your REGISTRATION PIN.
2. We suggest that you complete a Registration Worksheet, including CRN Numbers, and any pertinent advising notes as well as alternate course choices. Have this worksheet with you when you login to WINDOW.
3. According to the registration schedule dates (based on class year), plan 10-15 minutes to login to WINDOW and complete the registration process. Always Submit changes and print a copy of your schedule. Your printed schedule is verfication that your registration was processed accurately.
4. See a staff person in the Office of the Registrar about any exceptions such as enrolling in a course on an Audit or Pass/Grade/Fail grading basis, registering for an Independent Study or Individual Research course, and the like.
5. WINDOW will only be available during the publicized time period. Please plan accordingly.
6. Registrations submitted to the Office of the Registrar after the last day of registration will be subject to a $15.00 late fee. Registrations submitted later than one week after the conclusion of registration will be subject to a $45 late fee.
