Most students register for courses through online registration. The link to online registration is located under the
Academic Services section in Portal. Students should refer to the registration instructions for more information. Students will not be able to register for any courses when registration is closed. Please see the appropriate registration timeline for more information.Registration information and dates to access the online registration application are emailed to all applicable, active graduate and certificate program students. Students who have a hold on their account will not be able to register and should contact the appropriate office.
The Registrar’s Office will manually register students into courses that require special permission. The Registrar’s Office will also manually register: entering One-Year and Two-Year MBA students for their assigned program modules; Fast Track MBA students for their kick-off, core, and capstone courses; MSA students for their core courses; and students in the Global Entrepreneurship Program (GEP).
Students who receive a prerequisite waiver for a course need to have the professor of the course email the Registrar's Office to confirm. The College does not maintain waitlists for courses. If a course is full, students are advised to monitor enrollment in the course.
Add/Drop and Withdrawal
Add/drop changes can be made through online registration, in accordance with registration and add/drop dates.
Students may withdraw from courses after the drop deadline, but before the withdrawal deadline. Students will receive a final grade of “W” for withdrawing from a course. Students who do not officially withdraw will receive a final grade for each applicable course and will be responsible for all applicable tuition and fees. Students should email the Registrar's Office to withdraw from a course. All students are advised to review the withdrawal policies stated in the graduate student handbook.
Please consult the academic calendar and appropriate semester registration timeline for specific dates.
Adding, dropping, or withdrawing from courses could affect financial aid and/or immigration status.
