Registration Instructions
Enrollment in summer session courses is available to all students admitted as degree-seeking undergraduates at Furman. If you are interested in enrolling for summer session but have not been admitted to the undergraduate program you must complete a non-degree seeking student application available from Academic Records. What courses can I take? Plan now to speak with an advisor. They can assist you in composing a list of possible courses before you make your final selections, so you'll be prepared if your first choice isn't available. All enrollment requests must be approved by an academic advisor prior to submitting to Academic Records. You may enroll for up to 8 semester hours (2 four hour courses) during the first session and for 4 semester hours (1 course typically) during the second session. What do I need to fill out? You must complete the enrollment request in full! Your written request is important to ensure that we take action on your enrollment exactly as you instruct. For your convenience, an enrollment request is available for you to print, complete, and submit. Where do I register? Your enrollment request may be submitted in a variety of ways. You can deliver your request directly to Academic Records in the Administration Building, Room 004. If you can't make it to campus, fax or mail your request. Reach us by fax at (864) 294-3551 or mail:
Academic Records 3300 Poinsett Highway Greenville, SC 29613 Your opportunity to register for summer courses begins February 1. We encourage you to register as soon as you can after this date as seating in courses is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Also, courses can be cancelled for lack of enrollment if we don’t know about your interest. We typically need to make decisions of this sort about two weeks before a course should begin. How do I change my schedule once I've already registered? You can change your summer course schedule, using the same type of enrollment request you use to initially register, at any time until the conclusion of the drop-add period (third day of session one and second day of session two). Enrollment in courses is closed at the end of each drop-add period. You are permitted to withdraw from courses through the posted deadline (the midpoint of each term); a "W" mark will be posted on your permanent academic record indicating your withdrawal. What about auditing, pass-fail grading and other academic regulations? You may enroll in courses on a zero credit basis by registering as an auditor. You can register to audit courses until the conclusion of the drop-add period. A separate tuition rate has been established for auditing courses. Be sure to complete an audit request if you will avail yourself of this option. You may also elect a pass-fail grading option for selected courses that you have already registered, consistent with the pass-fail policy as stated in the University Catalog. The final day for declaring pass-fail is the midpoint of each session. Summer session courses operate on the same academic principles as any other instruction at Furman. Consequently, the same academic regulations apply. Please refer to the University Catalog for more detail. | |||
