Enrollment Information
NSU EXCELS allows you to enter
your registration information into the computer by responding to choices
and pressing the buttons on your touch-tone telephone.
Closed Class Enrollment
You must
get written permission from the instructor
of the class
and the dean of the college
offering the class before being allowed to enroll in a closed class. Both
the dean and the instructor must sign an Add/Drop Form, which can be obtained
in the
Office of Admissions and Records or in
the college dean's office. The student should then bring the completed
form to the Office of Admissions and Records for processing. An Admission
Records Specialist will assist the student with the enrollment process.
Short-term Class Enrollment
You
must enroll in short-term classes before they
begin. Students are encouraged to enroll in short-term classes
at the beginning of the semester but will be allowed to enroll in them
up to the day before the first class meeting. The refund period for short-term
classes is prorated based on the length of the class. It is recommended
that students drop short-term classes before they begin in order to ensure
a refund will be given. You can drop the short-term courses using the
EXCELS telephone enrollment system or in the Office of Admissions and
Records.
Add/Drop Procedure
You
can add a class or drop a class by using the EXCELS telephone
registration system or by coming to the Office of Admissions and Records.
The approved dates for adding and/or dropping are listed in the
semester
calendar of the class schedule. The student must secure signatures
of the instructor, college dean, and Vice President for Academic Affairs
in order to add a class after the last day to add has passed.
Withdrawal
Students must contact the
Office
of Admissions and Records to drop all courses and be officially withdrawn
from the University.
Automatic "W"
If a student
withdraws from
single courses or completely from the University before or during the
twelfth week, the instructor will assign a "W" regardless
of the student's progress in the course. If the student withdraws after
the twelfth week the instructor will assign a "W" or "F"
depending on the student's standing in the course.
