Re:       2008 Summer Sessions and Fall Semester Registration

 

I am pleased to inform you that the 2008 Summer Sessions and Fall Semester Master Course Schedules is  complete and is now available through WebAdvisor.  As you see, we are utilizing the same format of having students register for coursework directly with their academic advisors, a process which successfully reduces lines and waiting time. The registration schedule is printed below with additional information that you will need to know prior to registering for classes.

 

March 25 – 28:                         SENIORS   (Minimum of 90 completed credits)

 

March 31,

         April 1 - 3:                      JUNIORS   (Minimum of 60 completed credits)

 

April 4, 7:                                ALL SOPHOMORE AND FRESHMEN ATHLETES WHO ARE SCHEDULED TO PARTICIPATE IN EITHER FALL AND/OR WINTER COMPETITION*

 

April 8 – 11:                             SOPHOMORES   (Minimum of 30 completed credits)

 

April 14 - 17,                            ALL FRESHMEN (Less Than 30 completed credits)

 

From April 18:                         OPEN REGISTRATION

 

 

*As a way of facilitating the registration of sophomore and freshmen athletes, Dr. Slabik will provide sophomore and freshmen student athletes with a written note of verification which documents individual student eligibility for either  fall and/or winter athletic competition.  This documentation can be requested by e-mail at slabiks@neumann.edu (include your name and team).  This note should be brought to your academic advisor who will, then, staple it to your registration form.   If this verification note is not presented to your academic advisor, registration will not be permitted,  and you will, then, need to register with your class on the designated dates above.  Senior and junior athletes do not  need to secure a note from Dr. Slabik, since they will be registering with their respective class.

 

As a preparation for registration, all students are urged to check with the Business Office as soon as possible to make certain that all accounts have been paid-in-full.  After Business Office clearance has been checked, students should begin to contact their advisors and arrange for a time to meet, as well as plan for, and register for coursework. Please note that students who do not receive Business Office clearance can still meet with their academic advisor but will not be allowed to register until their account issues have been resolved.

There are also several items about which everyone should be aware.

 

Ø  All requested information on the Registration Form must be completed, wherever applicable, and signed by both the student and the advisor.  Please require each of your students to indicate on his/her Registration Form whether his/her respective academic major/program is Day, Evening, or Weekend, e.g., Nursing (Evening).  In addition, please list all courses in ALPHABETICAL order.

 

   NOTE:    IF IT BECOMES NECESSARY FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE STUDENT'S ADVISOR TO SIGN THE REGISTRATION FORM, THAT INDIVIDUAL MUST INDICATE FOR WHOM HE/SHE IS SIGNING.

 

Ø  If either your permanent/billing/local address or phone number has changed,  please check the appropriate box on your Registration Form.

 

Ø  Please be certain to check for course prerequisites and time conflicts as schedules are prepared.

 

Ø  For on-line courses, students must have a current Neumann College e-mail address.

 

Ø  For students who plan to register for Education courses, as well as PSYCH 225, Early Childhood Development, a criminal record check and Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance must be applied for, obtained, and presented to the Dean of the Division of Education and Human Services  before the student will be permitted to begin class.  Applications for these documents are available through the Dean’s office.  Students should be aware that the processing of these documents and receipt of appropriate clearances usually takes approximately 4-6 weeks to complete.

 

Ø  Students can only register for a Co-Op when all contractual details have been finalized and signed by the appropriate individuals, including the signature of the Director of Cooperative Education.  For those students who have not yet reached this stage but who intend to pursue the Co-Op option, please be advised that your Co-Op registration will be delayed until the above stipulations are met.

 

Any changes to a student’s schedule, including a change from one section to another, must be recorded on a Drop/Add Form and must be signed by the student’s academic advisor prior to Friday, August 29th, the official end of the Drop/Add Period.

 

We anticipate that these revised procedures will continue to result in a more expedited registration process, and we thank all of you for your cooperation and assistance in realizing that goal.
