Policies and Procedures Manual
3.00 REGISTRATION

STUDENTS MUST BE ADMITTED TO THE SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN ORDER TO REGISTER FOR AND EARN GRADUATE CREDIT.

3.10 Procedure for Initial Registration

3.11 New students receive by mail from the School of Graduate Studies registration and academic advising information. This information is also on the SoGS web site.

3.12 Students should register by the period indicated in the Quarterly Class Schedule. For students who register during the early registration period, fee statements and confirmation of registration will be mailed to the students. Fees must be paid on or before the date scheduled. Fee payments may be paid on the Raider On-Line Express (ROX) or mailed to or paid at the Bursar's Office
.
3.13 Students who register during early registration and fail to pay fees by the deadline date will have their registration canceled in order to make their class seats available to other students. Students who have had their registration canceled may re-register any time through open registration.

3.14 Students cannot register after first week of the quarter without instructor permission.

3.20 Procedure for Subsequent Registration

3.21 Students who have registered during the academic year can receive registration information for subsequent quarters at rox.wright.edu.

3.22 Students who have not completed at least one course in four consecutive quarters are considered to be in inactive status and, therefore, must reapply for admission. The term "course" includes formal courses, independent study, thesis research, continuing registration, etc.

3.30 Change in Registration

Students can change their registration on ROX or in person by dropping or adding courses at the Office of the Registrar. Please refer to the Quarterly Class Schedule for deadline dates, fees, and/or refunds for dropping courses.

3.40 Course Audit

3.41 Graduate students may audit courses with the approval of the course instructor. All audits must be clearly indicated on the registration form. Changes from audit to credit or credit to audit cannot be made after the first week of the term. The fee per credit hour for auditing a course is the same as for credit courses.

3.42 Graduate assistants (GTAs, GAs, GRAs) and Graduate Scholars may not include audited courses as part of the eight hour graduate credit minimum course load. Tuition remissions are not granted for audited courses.

3.50 Full-Time Status

Graduate students registering for eight (8) or more hours of graduate credit are considered full-time students.

3.60 Withdrawal from Courses

3.61 Students may drop a course without a grade appearing on their record or withdraw from a course with a "W" appearing on their transcript for the course grade up to specific dates each quarter. Refer to the Quarterly Class Schedule for the time periods that are applicable to dropping or withdrawing from a class.

3.62 Students who stop attending a course and do not make an official withdrawal through ROX or the Office of the Registrar will receive a grade of "F" or "X" at the instructor's discretion. The "X' grade remains on the students' permanent record and is computed in the grade point average as an "F". Non-attendance of the courses or notification to an instructor does not constitute official withdrawal.

3.70 Continuing Registration

3.71 Students' registration each quarter should reflect the level of academic participation in university life and anticipated progress toward the degree. This is particularly true of students involved in thesis, dissertation, and special project research. Academic units may set minimum registration requirements for continuing and readmitted students, which represent the unit's supervision of the students' efforts to complete degree requirements and the expected progress toward the degree.

3.72 Students must be registered for at least one hour of graduate credit, as designated by the department, during the quarter in which the successful defense of a thesis or dissertation is accomplished.

3.73 Students must receive approval from their advisor, department chair and the Dean, School of Graduate Studies for an exception to the continuing registration requirement.
