Registration and Leaves

Registration

Registration as a student constitutes a commitment by you to abide by University policies, rules, and regulations, including those concerning registration, academic performance, student conduct, health and safety, use of the libraries and computing resources, operation of vehicles on campus, University facilities, and the payment of fees and assessments.

You should take responsibility for informing yourself of applicable University policies, rules, regulations, and deadlines.

The University reserves the right to withhold your registration privileges or to cancel your enrollment if you are not in compliance with its policies, rules, or regulations.

As early as possible, but not later than the second Sunday of the quarter, you must submit to the Office of the University Registrar, via Axess, a study list to enroll officially in the classes for the quarter.

The University reserves the right to withhold your registration or to cancel your registration if you have any unmet obligations to the University.
