Are you a new First Year Student?
New first year students are not able to drop and add classes through the Murphy Online system. In order to make changes to your schedule you must pick up an Undergraduate Change in Registration Drop/Add form either from the Registrar's office (106 Aquinas Hall) or Academic Counseling (119 OEC) or print out the online version. This form must be signed by both the professor of the class you want to add and your faculty advisor and returned to the Registrar's Office. If you want to drop a class you only need your faculty advisor's signature. After the first ten days of class students may withdraw from classes and you will receive a "W" on your transcript.

Add and Drop Dates                                                                                                        The last day to add a class without instructor permission is Tuesday, Sept. 11th.     The last day to drop a class without a notation on your record is Tuesday, Sept. 18th  The last day to drop a class without a grade of F is Wednesday, Nov. 14th

First Day of Class Attendance Policy
Students must attend class on the first day! Professors have the option to drop you from a class if you are not in attendance. DO NOT assume that if you don't attend the class that you will be dropped. The proper procedure is to drop the class online or complete a Change in Registration form. Contact your professor or Academic Counseling if you are unable to attend the first day of class.

Withdrawal
In the case of prolonged illness that requires a student's withdrawal, tuition can be adjusted from the date of withdrawal. The student must provide a substantiating statement from the attending physician. Tuition is not refunded or credited for courses completed. This policy applies to both full-time and part-time registration. See Dr. John Krebsbach in 119 OEC if you need a tuition adjustment for withdrawing.

Progress Toward a Degree
A student that takes a course with the expectation of earning a degree is called a degree-seeking student. Degree-seeking students enrolled in 12 or more credits during a semester are considered full time students.

A degree-seeking student is ranked by credits successfully completed:
Fewer than 28 credits = Freshman
28 to 59 credits = Sophomore
60 to 91 credits = Junior
92 credits or more = Senior

Majors
Students must declare a major once they have completed 48 credits. A major declaration form can be picked up in the Academic Counseling office. This form must be signed by the chair of your major field. Majors consist of 28 to 44 credits. Students must earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 within their major in order to graduate.

Minors
Minors are not required, however if a student elects to earn a minor they need to officially declare that minor (the form can also be obtained in the Academic Counseling office). Minors consist of 16 to 28 credits. Students must earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 within their minor to graduate.
