Early Enrollment/Registration is the period set aside each semester for continuing students to enroll in classes for the next term.

If you miss Early Enrollment, you can still enroll during the Open Registration period, but many classes will have filled and a fee will be assessed. If you wait until Late Registration begins, additional fees will be assessed.

Early Enrollment/Registration Dates:

• Enrollment for Fall classes starts early April. (Fall 2012 enrollment began April 2, 2012)
• Enrollment for Spring classes starts mid-October. (Spring 2012 enrollment began October 20, 2011)
• Enrollment for Summer classes starts mid-March. (Summer 2012 enrollment began March 21, 2012)

Check the Enrollment Bulletin for Early Enrollment/Registration, Open Registration, and Late Registration dates:

• Enrollment for Fall Semester Classes
• Enrollment for Spring Semester Classes
• Enrollment for Summer Sessions Classes

The date and time at which you can access the online registration system and begin enrolling in classes is referred to as your Enrollment Appointment. You won't be able to enroll in classes before the time set for your enrollment appointment.

To find your Enrollment Appointment, go to the Onestart Student Center, and look in the blue box on the right side of the screen labeled, "Enrollment Dates". Click on "details" to see the time of day you have been assigned to access this system.

You do not have register at this precise time, but you should register as close to this time as possible to ensure the best selection of courses. You may access the system anytime after this date and time.

Your Enrollment / Registration Appointment is set by the Office of the Registrar based on the total number of credits you have completed - click here for more information.

No. Your Enrollment / Registration Appointment is not an appointment with an actual person. You do not need to go to a specific place on campus. This is your appointment time within the online registration system. You just need to be able to access the Onestart Student Center via the internet to register.

If you already know the classes you need to take next semester, then you do not need to schedule a meeting with your PBS Advisor before you register online.

If you do have questions about degree requirements and courses, then we encourage you to explore our Register for Classes page and then make an appointment with an academic advisor.

During the registration period PBS advisors see students by seniority. Keep an eye on your IU email account for a message from the advisors that will state the dates during which they want to see seniors, juniors, sophomores, and first year students during the weeks before/during Early Enrollment.

Appointments during registration fill up quickly - so try to schedule your appointment 7-10 days before the date you want to meet with an advisor!

Advising Begins:

• Advising for Fall classes starts in mid-March. (Fall 2012 advising began March 20, 2012)
• Advising for Spring classes starts mid-October. (Spring 2012 advising began October 13, 2011)
• Advising for Summer classes starts early March. (Summer 2012 advising began March 5, 2012)

Check the Enrollment Bulletin for "Advising Begins" dates:

• Enrollment for Fall Semester Classes
• Enrollment for Spring Semester Classes
• Enrollment for Summer Sessions Classes

We recommend that you carefully review your Academic Advisement Report (AAR) each semester before you register for classes! Your AAR shows the requirements you've already completed for your degree and the requirements you must still complete.

Access your AAR at Onestart > Student Center > My Academics and Grades > Advising - the first box on the left). Click View My Advisement Report.

For step-by-step instructions on how to use your AAR while you register for classes refer to our Register for Classes.

Access Registration Support / Contacts online, by email, by phone, and in person.

Consult the Final Exam Schedule

The waitlist feature in the registration system allows students to place themselves in line to enroll in a closed class (maximum enrollment reached) as seats become available. This tool is designed to give students a chance to get into closed classes.

See Waitlist Information for complete instructions and tips!

Read the Registrar's Drop/Add page to learn about fees and procedures for Drop/Add (through the first week of classes) and Late Drop/Add.

Drop/Add. You can use the continuous Register & Drop/Add feature in the Onestart Student Center from the time you register for classes through the first week of classes.

Late Drop/Add. You'll use eDrop and eAdd to request class drops and adds from the second week of classes through the Automatic Withdrawal (Auto W) deadline.

Instruction sheets for Late Drop/Add: eDrop , eDrop/eAdd Pair , eAdd

Check the Enrollment Bulletin for "Late Drop/Add" and "Automatic Withdrawal" dates:

• Fall Semester Classes
• Spring Semester Classes
• Summer Sessions Classes

Students may withdraw from a class for any reason up until the Automatic W date for that semester/session.

After the Automatic W date has passed, students may petition the Dean for withdrawal for urgent reasons beyond the student's control related to extended illness or equivalent distress. The desire to avoid a low grade is not sufficient reason for the Dean to approve a withdrawal. If students withdraw with the Dean's consent, their grade in the course shall be W if they are passing at the time of withdrawal and F if they are not passing.

See the COAS Withdrawals from Courses Policy.

Check the Enrollment Bulletin for the "Automatic Withdrawal" and "Withdrawal with a grade of W or F" dates:

• Fall Semester Classes
• Spring Semester Classes
• Summer Sessions Classes

Withdrawing from all classes is a very serious step. We encourage you to talk with your Academic Advisor before taking any action.

The policy and procedures for withdrawing from all courses depend on when you withdraw. See Withdrawal from the university (All Courses).

Check the Enrollment Bulletin for the "Refund Deadlines" (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%):

• Fall Semester Classes
• Spring Semester Classes
• Summer Sessions Classes

Students should check their grades frequently throughout the semester in Oncourse! For each class in which you're enrolled, click on the "Gradebook" link to see the scores your instructor has recorded for you for their class.

Instructors must report midterm grades for University Division students by Monday of the sixth week of the regular academic term. When and how to check your midterm grades: Early Evaluation Grades - FAQs.

Use the GPA Calculator.

Read the College of Arts & Sciences Pass/Fail Option Policies & Procedures to see if pass/fail is an option for the class you're thinking about.

If it is an option, then you'll need to contact an advisor in your major department to obtain a form and submit it to the College Recorder's Office before the relevant deadline - which is typically fairly early in the semester.

Check the Enrollment Bulletin for "Pass/Fail Option" deadline:

• Fall Semester Classes
• Spring Semester Classes
• Summer Sessions Classes

Students who receive a grade lower than an A may be eligible, upon retaking the course, to remove the first grade from their grade point average (GPA).

Students wishing to exercise this option must visit their advisor and/or school's records office to complete an Extended-X (EX) petition to remove the effect of the bad grade from the GPA.

Read the College of Arts & Sciences Extended-X Policies and Procedures and the Registrar's Undergraduate Course Retake Policy (Extended-X).

The grade of incomplete is intended for students who are absent during the last portion of the term and are therefore unable to take the final exam or complete a final project for an urgent reason.

Quoting from the College of Arts & Sciences Bulletin 2012-2013:

A grade of I (Incomplete) may be given only when the work of the course is substantially completed and when the student's work is of passing quality. A grade of I may not be given when a student has taken the final exam or completed the final paper or project for the course....

The time allowed for the removal of an I may not exceed one calendar year from the date of its recording, although the dean of the student's college or school may authorize adjustment of this period in exceptional circumstances.

To complete a course in which a student received a grade of I, the student should consult with the instructor. The student should not reenroll in the course.

By assigning an I, an instructor implicitly authorizes and requires the I to be changed to an F at the end of one calendar year if that instructor does not act to remove the I. The registrar will automatically change the I to an F at the end of this time period.

If you are placed on Academic Probation, a letter will be sent to you regarding your academic situation. Continued poor academic performance may result in dismissal from the College.

If you are experiencing academic difficulties, please speak with an academic advisor in your major department right away.

Read the College of Arts & Sciences policy on Academic Probation and Dismissal.
