Registration
Registration occurs annually on campus or online before the commencement of lectures for that academic year.
Late Registration
Students may register late at the Registrar’s office during the first week of lectures. A service charge is added to the student’s account for late registration. Students who cannot register during this time may petition the Registrar’s office for permission to register in the second week. Under no circumstances may students register after the close of the third week.
Module Changes
After registration has been completed, modules may be added or withdrawn with the approval of the Registrar’s
office. No module may be added after the second week of the semester.
See ‘Refund of Fees’ on page 63 for the financial implications of cancelling modules.
A final year student who is granted an extension by the faculty for the Senior Project Paper / Fieldwork / Business Plan / Practical will be charged a continuation fee per semester until the module is completed.
Orientation
Orientation occurs during the first three weeks of the academic year for all new students. Students register during this time and are informed in matters of academic and general policies. The computer skills of students are tested, and they attend the Academic Skills Development class. In addition, orientation serves as an opportunity to meet the faculty, staff and fellow students.
Withdrawal
Students who withdraw from a programme before its completion need to complete and sign a “Programme Withdrawal Form” obtained from the Registrar’s office. The student must ensure that arrangements are made to settle any accounts.
