1. Purpose and Scope

These Student Registrar Rules set forth the administrative policies and procedures governing registration, enrollment status, recordkeeping, access to academic records, course changes, fees, holds, withdrawals, transcripts, and related registrarial functions. The Registrar is authorized to interpret and apply these rules and to place administrative holds, deny registration, or withhold academic records in accordance with these provisions.

2. Registration and Enrollment

Registration is complete only when all required documentation is received and any required payment, deposit or approved financial arrangement is in place. The Registrar publishes registration periods and deadlines; students are responsible for enrolling within those periods. The institution reserves the right to cancel registration for nonpayment, incomplete documentation, or failure to meet eligibility requirements.

Priority and eligibility for registration, including waitlist assignment, are determined by program rules and academic standing. A student who registers for courses incorrectly is responsible for correcting enrollment prior to published deadlines.

3. Add/Drop, Withdrawal, and Refunds

Course add/drop and withdrawal deadlines are published each term. Tuition refund eligibility is tied to withdrawal date as determined by the Registrar. After the final withdrawal deadline, students receive grades in accordance with academic policy; refunds are not available except where expressly provided in the published refund schedule.

A student who ceases attendance without following withdrawal procedures remains responsible for all tuition and fees. The Registrar may place a financial or administrative hold for unpaid charges, which may prevent registration, transcript release, or graduation clearance.

4. Academic Records, Transcripts and Retention

The institution maintains an official academic record for each student. The official transcript reflects courses, grades, and degree conferral. Transcripts will not be released if a student has unresolved financial obligations, disciplinary sanctions affecting transcripts, or administrative holds.

The Registrar maintains permanent academic records for degree and grade purposes. Other records, including registration logs, may be retained for a minimum of seven years unless otherwise required by law or policy.

5. Privacy, Access, and Release of Records

Students have the right to inspect and request amendment of their academic records in accordance with institutional privacy policies. Release of records to third parties requires the student's written authorization, except where disclosure is permitted by law. The Registrar will process requests for access and release in a timely manner consistent with privacy obligations.

6. Holds, Blocks, and Administrative Actions

Holds or blocks may be placed on a student record for academic probation, financial indebtedness, failure to provide required documentation, immunization noncompliance, judicial or conduct sanctions, or other administrative reasons. The Registrar will notify students of holds and the actions required to remove them. Removal of a hold may require clearance from the originating office.

7. Grade Changes, Appeals, and Academic Standing

Faculty are responsible for assigning grades. Requests for grade review or change must follow the published academic appeal process and be submitted within the stated time limits. The Registrar will record grade changes only upon receipt of appropriate departmental and administrative approvals.

8. Residency and Enrollment Verification

Determination of residency for tuition purposes and official enrollment verification are administratively determined. Students are responsible for providing accurate documentation; falsification of residency or enrollment information may result in penalties including reversal of enrollment, financial obligations, and disciplinary action.
