Page 4 Student Responsibilities www.cwu.edu

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIESPLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING FOR COURSES

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONSIt is the student’s responsibility to ensure that his/her account is kept current. Admission to, or registration with the university, conferring of degrees, and issuance of academic transcripts may be withheld for failure to meet financial obligations to the university. Unless otherwise indicated by the student, payments received for students will be applied in the following priority:

1) Oldest charge 2) Tuition and course fees 3) Housing and dining charges 4) Other charges

Registration, online via the web or in person, obligates students for payment of all tuition and course fees. If tuition and fees are not paid by the due date, students will be assessed a late fee and will be liable for any other reasonable collection costs. Holds will be placed on accounts that are 30 days past due.

Students may check with the Cashiers Office at 509-963-2224 to obtain the exact amount of tuition and fees due. Do not wait for a statement of account. See tuition rates and fees on page 11.

Students may access their statement on MyCWU located at www.cwu.edu. From the CWU home page, select MyCWU.

Non-attendance DOES NOT relieve students of their academic and financial obligations.

ADDRESS INFORMATIONStudent address information is very important! Addresses can be changed on MyCWU by selecting Personal Information from the Information Center on the dashboard or in person at Registrar Services. Important materials are mailed periodically to all students throughout the quarter.

OFFICIAL E-MAIL NOTIFICATION It is imperative that students check their CWU e-mail accounts throughout the quarter. Registrar Services, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, and other student services use e-mail to notify students of important information. For information on your student e-mail account, go to www.cwu.edu/its/.

Students are responsible for checking their CWU e-mail for important notices.

SCHEDULE CONFIRMATION A student may register online utilizing MyCWU. By navigating to MyCWU and selecting My Enrollment in the Academic Toolbox, a student can obtain a listing of his/her class schedule. Students should check their schedules carefully for discrepancies. Students are responsible for ensuring that the courses they select will fulfill degree requirements. Students may be prevented from registering for courses without the necessary corequisites or prerequisites and may ultimately be dropped from the course. Students should review enrollment requirements in the online catalog at www.cwu.edu/registrar/catalogs.

DROP BY INSTRUCTOR Students should not assume they will automatically be dropped from a class they do not attend. If a student fails to attend a class by 5:00 p.m. on the third day of classes or the equivalent of three 50-minute increments, the instructor may drop the student from the class. Students enrolled in a web-based class must log in and post a message on Canvas to be considered in attendance. Students should drop their classes online or with Registrar Services prior to the end of the change of schedule period (the fifth day of the quarter).

LATE REGISTRATION FEE A late registration fee will be assessed for each class added after the change of schedule period. Refer to the appropriate academic calendar for deadlines and the late registration fee schedule.

Late registration fees will be assessed for adding courses after the fifth day of instruction. Students’ tuition and fees will not be removed due to non-attendance. Official withdrawal procedures must be followed. Registering for classes or receiving services for which payment is required will create a CWU account and constitutes a contractual financial obligation according to the rules and regulations of the State of Washington. The student or other CWU account holder agrees to pay for all charges incurred at Central Washington University including but not limited to Tuition and Fees, Housing and Dining Charges, University Store Purchases, Day Care Charges, Financial Aid Over-Awards, and other miscellaneous charges or fines for services received at the Recreation Center, the Medical and Counseling Center, the Library, Parking, special events, or any other CWU service offering.

Charges that are not paid by the due dates may be assessed late fees and a 1% interest charges and all university services may be suspended. Furthermore, the student or account holder agrees to the following:I understand the University or its representative will make reasonable attempts to collect past due charges by letter, phone, email, or any other reasonable method including text messages as required by the State of Washington. I understand I will receive an email notification when my billing statement is available to view online or a monthly statement if I am not an enrolled student. I understand my account information can only be released to me. Statements are located online through MyCWU account. Failure to pay after reasonable attempts have been made may result in the suspension of university services. I understand if I have an unpaid balance to the University and do not make satisfactory payment arrangements, my account may be placed with an external collection agency and will be subject to an additional collection fee as allowed

www.cwu.edu General Regulation and Information Page 15

Central Washington University Registration Handbook

REGISTRATIONOnly currently enrolled matriculating students are allowed to register during the first registration period. Non-matriculating students may register on the first day of classes.

Eligible students are assigned an Enrollment Appointment on MyCWU that specifies their date and time for registration. See instructions for viewing Enrollment Appointments.

Student employees must register during the first registration period to be eligible for summer employment.

Freshman Advising HoldFreshmen, with less than 40 earned credits, will have an advising hold placed on their account prior to registration. Freshmen must contact the Academic Advising Center or their academic advisor prior to registration in order to receive advisement and have the hold removed.

General Education Basic Skills HoldStudents will have a hold placed on their account if they have not completed the basic skills area of the general education requirements by the time they reach 75 credits. Students must see their major advisor or if they are undeclared, an advisor in the Academic Advising Center, to have the hold removed. This hold will be placed every quarter until the basic skills are completed.

75-Credit Advising HoldAll students will have an advising hold placed on their account the quarter after they have earned their 75th credit. To have this hold removed a student must meet with their major advisor or an advisor in the Academic Advising Center.

115-Credit Advising HoldAll students will have an advising hold placed on their account the quarter after they have earned their 115th credit. To have this hold removed a student must meet with their major advisor or an advisor in their intended major.

Major Declaration HoldThis hold is placed on a student who has 100 or more earned credits and is not admitted into a major or pre-major program.

All of these holds, with the exception of the major hold, can be released by any faculty member or professional academic advisor. All freshmen must go to the Academic Advising Center before next-term registration.

WAIT LISTSStudents should be aware that the system will automatically enroll them in a course for which they have wait listed once a seat becomes available and if they are eligible to enroll. Im-portant information regarding wait lists is summarized below.

1. The student gets on the wait list at the time he/she attempts to enroll in a full course section by checking the “OK to Wait List” check box that will be displayed when enrolling in a class. If the WL is full, the “OK to Wait List” check box will not appear as an option. A student can be moved from the WL to enrolled status in one of two ways:

• Obtain signed permission on an add/drop form from the instructor.

• System intervention: An automated nightly process will automatically move students from the WL to enrollment, but only if the student is eligible.

The wait list process will be run once each night. Notification will be sent to the CWU e-mail account each time the process is run for those who are moved to enrolled status. This will be a general notification alerting students to check their online schedule for details.

2. Students will not be automatically enrolled from the WL for the following reasons:

• They have a time conflict.• They are enrolled in another section of the course.• They would exceed their maximum term units.• They do not meet requirements of the course (e.g.,

reserved for majors only).• They have a registration hold.• They are attempting to register for a non-repeatable

class for the third time.• The class is full.

3. Wait lists will be available through the end of the second day of the Change of Schedule Period. This will allow time for notification to be sent to the student prior to the end of the Change of Schedule Period and allow the student enough time to make necessary schedule changes.

4. Students may not wait list for more than 15 credits at a time.

5. Students are told of their WL positions at the time they are placed on a wait list during their enrollment. They can also view their position at any time by reviewing their online schedule.

6. Students can wait list for multiple sections of the same course. However, once the student is enrolled in an available section, he/she is automatically dropped from the WL for the other sections. The only exception to this would be for courses that are repeatable for credit in the same term.

7. If a lecture course has a zero credit lab, students cannot WL the same lecture section or the same lab section more than once. For example, a student could not WL CHEM 111-01 lecture with more than one CHEM 111 lab section.

8. Once a Wait List is started for a class and a seat opens up, a student who is not on the Wait List will not be able to enroll. However, if all students on the Wait List are ineligible for enrollment, then the class status will change to Open and the next eligible student may enroll.

Central Washington University Registration Handbook

Page 16 General Regulation and Information www.cwu.edu

AUDITProvided that space is available and permission is secured from the instructor, students eligible to enroll in a course for credit may enroll as an auditor (except in laboratory courses). Full tuition is assessed for audits and no credit is earned.

When a student class load exceeds nine credits, including the credits of audited courses, regular student fees must be paid. A student enrolled in nine credits or less, including audited courses, pays the credit-hour fees. Instructors may not compel auditors to write papers or take examinations, but may insist upon other course requirements. The instructor may request of the dean that the auditor be officially withdrawn from the course if these requirements are not met.

A student must register for an audited course by the last day of the change of schedule period.

CREDIT/NO CREDITStudents are urged to use the credit/no credit option as a way to explore academic areas of interest. All students, except first-quarter freshmen and students on academic probation, may select one class per quarter under this option. A maximum of 15 credits earned in credit/no credit courses may be allowed toward the 180 required for a bachelor’s degree.

The courses must be selected from free electives. They must not be courses in general education, major or minor concentrations, or the professional education sequence. Students may designate the course as credit/no credit until the end of the change of schedule period. Courses may not be repeated on a credit/no credit option. Courses may be repeated for a grade.

Credits earned under the credit/no credit option are not included in computing grade point averages. The grade recorded on the student’s transcript will be “CR” if the course grade is C- or above; if below C-, the entry will be “NC.”

REPETITION OF COURSESSome courses are approved for repetition with credit awarded each time the course is taken and passed. See course descriptions in the university catalog. Full tuition is assessed for all repeated courses. Other courses may be repeated under the following conditions:

• Students are allowed to take a course a second time. Students attempting to take the same course a third time may do so only with permission of the instructor and the department chair. Unless designated as repeatable, courses may not be taken more than three times without permission of the dean of the college and department chair.

• Credit will be awarded only once, the last time the course is taken.

• When a course is repeated, only the last grade earned

will be used in the computation of the cumulative and major grade point averages. All grades will remain on the student’s official record. Any CWU course repeated at another institution is subject to the following requirements:

1. May be transferred in for CWU credit.2. Its grade will be used in calculating the CWU

and the transfer GPA.

ADDITIONAL ENROLLMENT PROCEDURESArranged Course PermitsAn Arranged Course Permit is used when a student wishes to register for a class that is not offered on the schedule of classes for the term, providing the class is shown in the current catalog. Any class that is currently being offered cannot be registered for as an Arranged Course. Seminar and workshop courses may not be registered for as arranged courses.

Permits are available at Registrar Services, university center offices, and academic department offices. The instructor, department chair, and dean must approve the Arranged Course Permit.

Individual Study CoursesForms are available at academic departmental offices, Registrar Services, and university center offices. Permission must be granted from the instructor, department chair, and dean prior to registration. Complete the form, including the descriptive title and course outline. Once the appropriate signatures have been obtained, submit the individual study permit to a registration office to complete the registration process.

Cooperative EducationCooperative Education Learning Agreement (CLA) forms are available at academic department offices and Career Services (Bouillon 206). Career Services will also mail a copy of the CLA form to the student. It is advisable to allow at least a week in which to obtain required signatures on the bottom of the form. All parts of the form must be completed before registration will be permitted (including approval signatures and complete mailing addresses). Forms must be submitted to Career Services by the last day of the Change of Schedule Period.

Students are responsible for tuition and fees incurred for units for cooperative education.

Central Washington University Registration Handbook

CREDIT BY EXAMINATIONThe university has published a “Course Challenge List” in the general catalog. Regularly enrolled (full fee-paying) students may challenge for credit any course that appears on the current “Course Challenge List.” To challenge a course, the student may be required to take examinations and carry out procedures according to established-by-department practices.

To challenge a course, the student must first obtain a course challenge form from Registrar Services and follow the specified instructions. Course challenge fees are nonrefundable. The course challenge form must be completed and returned to Registrar Services one week prior to the end of the quarter. Results of the course challenge shall be recorded as “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory” on the student’s transcript and will not be used to compute the GPA. The application for course challenge will be denied if the student has previously received credit for the course at this or another institution, if the course was previously failed or withdrawn from, or if the course was previously unsatisfactorily challenged, audited, or registration cancelled for any reason.

PROCEDURE FOR COURSE SUBSTITUTION AND WAIVER OF COURSE REQUIREMENTSTransferAssociate of Science degrees with transfer agreements between the university and Washington community colleges will meet the general education requirements of a bachelor’s degree when students complete additional courses at CWU.

Major or MinorThe student is required to provide Registrar Services with the substitution form to waive the requirement, signed by the appropriate chair and dean. Substitution forms are available at Registrar Services or at university center offices.

Teacher Certification ProgramThe student is required to provide Registrar Services with the substitution form to waive the requirement, signed by the Department of Educational Foundations and Curriculum chair and dean. Substitution forms are available at Registrar Services or at university center offices.

Basic, Breadth, or other Graduation RequirementsThe registrar handles most deviations from the catalog requirements. The general education petition forms are available at Registrar Services or at university center offices.

All substitution forms are available by clicking on the forms link on the left index of Registrar Services home page at www.cwu.edu/registrar/.

GRADESGrades are available on MyCWU three days after the end of the final exam week by navigating to MyCWU > Academic Toolbox > My Enrollment > Term Information Tab.

Students are no longer mailed a hard copy of their grade report unless requested. Students may request to have their grades sent to their home/permanent address by filling out a grade report request form available at Registrar Services, University Center offices, or online by clicking forms at www.cwu.edu/registrar/. Requested reports will be mailed two to three weeks after the end of finals week.

INCOMPLETES – CWU POLICYAn “I” (incomplete) means the student was not able to complete the course by the end of the term, do to a significant life event, but has satisfactorily completed a sufficient portion of it and can be expected to finish without having to re-enroll in it. An “I” is not used in computing grade point average, but may affect student financial aid. The instructor will set a date within one calendar year for the student to complete the coursework. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to complete the coursework. If the work is not completed by the date set by the instructor, the “I” will convert to an “F” or “U.”

Students may not re-register for a course in which they currently have a grade of incomplete.

WITHDRAWINGIndividual Course Withdrawal PolicyStudents may withdraw from an individual class using an uncontested withdrawal form through the end of the Uncontested Withdrawal Period (see calendar). Such withdrawals will be noted on the student’s transcript with “+W.” No refunds will be granted for individual course withdrawals.

Hardship Withdrawal PolicyAfter the Uncontested Withdrawal Period ends, hardship withdrawals will be granted only for reasons of hardship and then only upon written petition to and written approval of the registrar.
