Changes to Registration Processes Claudia Pinter-Lucke AVP for Academic Programs July 29, 2009

Changes are Short-Term Response to cancellation of regular Summer Session reduced FTES target For 2009-2010 Academic Year only If there is interest in making any of the changes permanent, request will be made through normal referral process

Rationales for Changes Many students who planned fall based on taking summer classes must revise their fall schedule Seniors need specific classes to graduate. Giving them priority on the first day of classes has been problematic Most students need 12 units for financial aid, insurance, benefits, etc.

Registration during August Fall Adjustment Period Currently Proposed Four Days No specific registration appointments; all students can register throughout the entire adjustment period Eight Days First day limited to students enrolled in the original summer session; first 12 hrs for post-bacs, seniors, juniors, next 12 hrs for sophomores, freshmen. Next three days - registration appointments according to class standing Last four days (which include a weekend) - available to all students

Registration during Fall Add/Drop Currently Proposed Add/drop begins four working days before the quarter starts and continues through the first five days of instruction.  No specific registration appointments; all students can register throughout the entire adjustment period. Calendar would remain the same. First three days - registration appointments according to class standing Next six days (which include a weekend) - available to all students
