 Fall Registration Schedule

Fall Semester 2012: August 27 – December 14

*Web registration can be used starting at 7:00am on the first registration day. Web registration is available 24 hours per day, but it closes on the day before the semester starts.

All currently enrolled students have two ways to register for classes. Registration can be completed from any computer with Internet access on Cougar Connection or a student can register in person at the Registrar’s Office.

Option 1: Web Registration

A student must have a network login (username and password) to use web registration. Please use the following steps:

1. Review the course schedule located on the USF homepage at www.sf.edu in Cougar Connection. Paper copies of the schedule can be found at the Registrar’s Office, Library or academic department offices. The course schedule is subject to change. Changes are updated daily on the web schedule.
2. Select the desired courses and make sure they are a program requirement or elective in your major.
3. Make an appointment with your advisor. If you do not know who your advisor is, contact the Registrar’s Office or your academic department. Your advisor will:
   • Help you determine the courses for which you need to register
   • Complete and sign a paper registration form with you
   • Grant Registration Clearance
4. Find the first day that you can register from the registration schedule. These days and times are also printed below. The number of credit hours earned in previous semesters determines the day you can first register. You can register at 7:00am on that first day and 24 hours a day after that until the first day of the semester. Web registration closes on the day before the semester starts.
5. Follow the steps for web registration that can be found on My Cougar Connection under the Help Files panel on the front page. Printed copies of web registration directions can be found at the Registrar’s Office in the Pope John Paul II Center, room 207.

6. If you want to register on the web but want to walk through it with some assistance, help will be located at the Help Desk in the Pope John Paul II Center during normal business hours. You can register on the web with assistance by contacting the Registrar’s Office in the Pope John Paul II Center, room 207, 1-260-399-8061, boconnor@sf.edu.

Graduate Students who are not enrolled for spring semester 2011 will need to contact Doug Barcalow at 1-260-399-7700 ext 8400 or dbarcalow@sf.edu to activate their student account before registering on the web.

Option 2: Traditional Walk-up Registration

A student must have a completed registration form, signed by their advisor, to register in person.

1. Review the course schedule. Paper copies of the schedule can be found at the Registrar’s Office or Academic Department Offices. The course schedule is subject to change. Changes are updated daily on the web schedule.
2. Select the desired courses and make sure they are a program requirement or elective in your major.
3. Make an appointment with your advisor. If you do not know who your advisor is, contact the Registrar’s Office or your academic department. Your advisor will:
   • Help you determine the courses for which you need to register
   • Fill out and sign a paper registration form with you
   • Grant Registration Clearance
4. Find the first day that you can register. These days and times are also printed above. The number of credit hours earned in previous semesters determines the day you can first register. Thereafter, you can register in person at the Registrar’s Office during normal business hours. Special permission is required to register after the start of the semester.

Payment Procedures

Student Account Registration Agreement

All students who register, by doing so, agree to the following policies:

Course Registration

• Students are responsible for planning an academic program that meets current requirements, including the required sequencing of classes.
• Students are responsible for meeting with their advisor before they register for classes to insure that intended courses meet a program requirement or elective.
• Students are responsible for the actions taken to register for courses, to drop courses, or add courses. This includes actions taken by registering on the web or in person at the Registrar’s Office.

Financial Aid

• Students are responsible for notifying the Office of Financial Aid when the enrollment credit hours do not correspond to the enrollment status indicated on the Financial Aid Award Notification.
• Students dropping or withdrawing from courses should notify the Office of Financial Aid to determine if this action requires an adjustment to the student's financial aid funding.
• Students are responsible to reply to requests for additional information in a timely fashion. An incomplete financial aid file will result in a delay of financial aid funding being processed and applied to the student's business office account.
• Students must have a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file with the Office of Financial Aid to be reviewed for financial aid eligibility. Students who wish to be reviewed for summer aid options must complete a Financial Aid Summer Request form. These forms are available at the Office of Financial Aid.

Billing Statements & Payment Procedures

• Billing statements and payment worksheets will be mailed to the student’s legal/permanent address maintained by the Registrar’s Office.
• Payment of any balance not covered by released financial aid at the start of the academic term is due in the Business Office no later than one week prior to the start of the academic term.
• After this due date, students with a past due balance will be assessed late payment fees.

Unpaid Past Student Account Balances

• Continuing unpaid past due balances are subject to late payment fees and penalty or interest.
• Students are responsible for any and all collection costs and attorney fees associated with the collection of unpaid balances. Student accounts will be assessed a 25% collection fee on the unpaid account balance prior to being turned over to a collection agency.

I understand that it is my responsibility to make sure that I fulfill all requirements in the Financial Aid Office so that aid and loans may be applied to my account at the start of the academic term. I understand and agree to the assessment of late payment fees, penalty or interest, and collection costs for unpaid past due balances. I understand and agree to abide by all the policies stated in this document.

I hereby agree that my Title IV funds (Federal Loans, Pell Grant, FSEOG Grant, Perkins Loan, etc) may be used to pay any charges from the University of Saint Francis.
