When ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs no longer appear on your roster, they may have self-dropped your class. If this occurs after the web add/drop period ends, the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ may have unresolved issues with the One Stop. Encourage the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ to contact the One Stop for assistance.

Registration for these courses are handled in the Office of the University Registrar. Information about both processes can be found on the One Stop’s  page.

Most independent study and internship courses are registered as full-term, but submissions received after the posted add deadline are registered as a late-start sprint. Add deadline dates and times can be found on the Academic Calendar.

The federal government mandates that universities confirm ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs have begun attendance in all courses that count toward federal financial aid eligibility (34 CFR 668.21). Institutions must do this by verifying the occurrence of ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs’ “academic activity.” Federal regulations (34 CFR 668.22 (l)(7) define “academic activity” as occurring when a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ physically attends at least one class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs.

For instructions on how to report attendance, visit the  Knowledge Base page.

Students who are not officially registered for your class are not permitted to attend or participate in your class. Encourage such ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs to contact the One Stop for more information.

This email should include the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ’s name and unique ID along with the course subject, number, and CRN. You should also include the language “academic dishonesty/integrity” in your email. Please note that once grading is closed for the term, requests for “N” grades cannot be accepted.

Missing grades jeopardize ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ eligibility for scholarships/financial aid for upcoming terms and/or loss of aid for the current term.

A temporary grade of “N” will be posted for any ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ with a missing grade. Be advised that this is a temporary measure. The final missing grade must be reported immediately when grade change submissions are permitted.
