Terminology, Definitions, and Responsibilities
Priority Registration: The first opportunity to schedule classes for the next semester. Usually a one week period during the semester prior to the registration semester during which students are assigned a registration appointment based on the number of hours a student has earned and/or other priority conditions (i.e. disability status, honors program, athletics, veterans, etc.). All students and applicants, except freshmen applicants for the next semester, are expected to register for classes during Priority Registration. Academic advising, when required, is available to all students prior to Priority Registration.
Open Registration: The period following Priority Registration and lasting until the Final Schedule Adjustments Deadline. All eligible students, including those who did not register during Priority Registration, may register anytime 24 hours/day, 7 days/week during this period. Academic Advisors are not always available during this period so students should contact their department to schedule an advising appointment.
Freshman Orientation: Required of all beginning freshmen and transfer freshmen. Orientation is a program that provides an overview of university policies and procedures, academic advising, and course registration.
Fee Payment Deadline: Students who have not paid by the Fee Payment Deadline will not have access to other university services such as textbook rentals, ID services, parking decals, housing, meal plans, etc. Students are responsible for tuition and fees for all courses that remain on their schedule after this deadline. Students who need assistance with dropping their classes or canceling their enrollment by this deadline may email the Office of the Registrar at Registrar@southeastern.edu or call 1-800-222-SELU or 985-549-2066.
Cancellation: Students who have not paid by the Fee Payment Deadline will be cancelled from their classes. Payment must be received and posted to the student’s account. Students whose classes are paid with anticipated aid must drop all their classes before the first day of classes if they do not plan to attend.
Schedule Adjustment: The final opportunity for all students to register for classes, make schedule changes, or cancel enrollment before classes begin. Students should check their schedule for any classes removed due to low enrollment. Students who decide not to attend must drop all their classes. Students will be financially responsible for all classes remaining on their schedule once Schedule Adjustment ends.
First Day of Classes: Once classes begin, schedule changes will be handled as follows:
- Requests for schedule changes must be submitted to the student’s academic dean and must be due to extenuating circumstances.
- Students wishing to withdraw:
- Receive a grade of “W”
- Pay the tuition and fees for the class
- Students wishing to resign:
- Receive a grade of “W” in all classes
- Are refunded 75 to 0 percent of their tuition (based on University refund schedule)
Add/Drop Period: During the add/drop period, a student may make schedule adjustments without receiving a “W” grade for each class dropped. However, a student will not be able to drop all of their classes. To drop their last class, students will need to resign from the university and will receive a “W” grade for the last class.
Final Fee Payment Deadline: Students are responsible for tuition and fees for all courses that remain on their schedule.
