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 currently enrolled students 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 Adjustment Deadline (Add/drop period). All eligible students, including those who did not register during Priority Registration, may register at any time during this period, with access available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Academic Advisors are not always available during this period so students should contact their department to schedule an advising appointment.
New Student Orientation: A program required of all beginning freshmen and transfer freshmen to provide 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 (payment received and posted to the student’s account) by the Fee Payment Deadline will be canceled from their classes.
NOTE: For students who qualify for federal aid: students must drop all their classes before the first day of classes if they do not plan to attend or their federal aid will keep them enrolled and owing a balance.
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.
Add/Drop Period: During the add/drop period, a student may make schedule adjustments without receiving a “W” grade for each class dropped. Students who drop all classes during the add/drop period may do so with a cancellation fee of $250.00. Students wishing to resign after the add/drop deadline should visit the Registrar’s website.
Final Fee Payment Deadline: Students are responsible for tuition and fees for all courses that remain on their schedule.
First Day of Classes: Once classes begin, schedule changes will be handled as follows:
- After the add/drop period, requests for schedule changes must be submitted to the student’s academic dean for approval 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 50% to 0% of their tuition (based on University refund schedule)
Important: Students are financially responsible for classes remaining on their schedule by the final day of the add/drop period.
