Register for Spring, Summer, & Fall

During the Early Registration period between April 6 and April 20, LS&A students may register not only for Fall, 1998 classes, but also for Spring/Summer, Spring Half-Term (IIIa), and Summer Half-Term (IIIb) courses. Registration for more than one term can be completed with a single CRISP appointment (a single phone call). You can register anytime after your appointment time. Likewise, you are able to drop/add anytime after your appointment. Detailed instructions for touch-tone CRISP are in the introductory pages of the Time Schedule.

Check on Your Eligibility

CRISP appointments for early registration will be assigned by the Registrar's Office. Students will be scheduled to register in seven priority groups according to the number of credit hours earned towards their program. Credit toward degree (CTP, the middle column on the transcript) and current active elections for Winter Term, 1998, must equal or exceed the credit hours listed by February 28. Incomplete courses for which grades have not been reported and processed by the Registrar's Office by February 28 will not be included as part of the minimum credits required for CRISP appointments.

Only students who are enrolled for Winter Term, 1998, as of January 31 will be assigned a CRISP appointment. Other students can go to the Registrar's Student Services Office in G255 Angell Hall or call 763-5174. Non-degree students and incoming first-year and transfer students are not eligible to register early.

About Your SVF

The Office of the Registrar has e-mailed CRISP Appointment Start Times this month to be used for Early Registration. Each student's e-mail will indicate the activation date and time for each student's Early Registration appointment at CRISP.

Students who have not received an e-mail should go to the the Registrar's Student Services Office in G255 Angell Hall or access CRISP Appointment on Wolverine Access.

Do You Need Advisor Approval?

The only students who need advisor approval of their elections are students registering for their first term in LS&A. All other students are encouraged to discuss their academic plans with an advisor. Continuing students who are planning academic schedules of fewer than 8 credits also must have advisor approval. Students who wish to elect a schedule of more than 18 credits also must have advisor approval and must get their Election Worksheet or Election Change Worksheet (drop/add form) stamped in 1255 Angell Hall (1228 Angell Hall for Honor Students).

Financial Holds

A financial hold is placed on students who have not paid their tuition and housing in full by Tuesday, February 28. Students with a hold credit are not permitted to register. Temporary releases are not granted by the Registrar's Office. Students who pay late must make payments directly to the Cashier's Office (LS&A Building Lobby). Questions concerning tuition and housing charges should be directed to Student Accounts (2226 SAB, 764-7447).

Need An Override?

An electronic override is required for a course/section which is closed and for a course/section listed in the Time Schedule with an entry restriction. An entry restriction is a course enrollment condition other than a specific course prerequisite (common entry restrictions include permission of the instructor, Honors, junior standing, senior standing, Pilot, and CEW). Electronic overrides are available from academic departments and programs, and, in some cases, from course/section instructors. Many instructors and departments are reluctant, however, to give overrides until the first day of classes when they have an accurate idea of the actual enrollment. In some departments, overrides may be issued with an expiration date. If you have questions about departmental waitlist and override procedures, call POINT-10 (764-6810).

Verification of Class Schedules

After registering through CRISP, check your class schedule to ensure that it is accurate and complete. Verify the accuracy of the tuition assessment and be especially careful to check that pass/fail elections are properly recorded. The College holds students responsible for ensuring the accuracy of their class schedule printouts. Tuition is subject to change without notice by the Regents of the University. Fee Assessments are also tentative and may be changed by the Regents.

You can check your schedule three ways: (1) hear it over the phone; (2) have it e-mailed to you; and (3) through Class Schedule on Wolverine Access.

Planning Not to Attend Next Term?

If you wish to disenroll from Spring, Summer, or Fall Term and avoid all charges you must do so before the first day of classes. For Spring and Spring-Summer Term, the date is May 4. The Summer Term deadline is June 28 and the Fall Term deadline is September 7. Students should disenroll through Touch-Tone CRISP.

After the first day of classes, students who wish to disenroll will be responsible for an $80 registration fee ($40 half term) and a $50 disenrollment fee. These assessments will be made regardless of whether or not you attended any class.
