What is a Registration Exception?

A Registration Exception form is used when students are requesting registration/schedule adjustment transactions to their class schedule after published University deadlines for the class(es). The Registration Exception form is used to make changes to student transcripts and schedules in cases involving documented unusual or extenuating circumstances. Approval of  an exception is not guaranteed and reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

What is the deadline to submit a Registration Exception Form?

Students may submit an exception in a reasonable period of time, typically within the term under consideration. Registration may be reviewed retroactively at the discretion of the University Registrar not to exceed two years (2) from the end of the term in which the requested action is sought. Exceptions more than two (2) years from the end of the term under consideration are not guaranteed to be reviewed and/or approved. 

Do instructors have to provide documentation to approve a Registration Exception?

Instructors are required to provide consent for students requesting to join a class late. The new Registration Exception Form- Late add or Re-add will route directly to the instructor based on the instructor email provided by the student on the exception form. The instructor will mark on the form if they are in favor of the late add or re-add.
