| Registration
Information
Early
registration is recommended to ensure students are able to get into classes
they need. Students may register online
or in person. You must speak with an Academic Counselor or Faculty Advisor
prior to registration to ensure your courses will fulfill degree requirements.
As of spring 2004, phone registration is no longer available.
You will
need your new UST ID and new PIN to access the new Murphy Online system.
Forget
your PIN?
Email
the IRT help desk (IRTHelp@stthomas.edu)
from your UST email account and they will send your PIN to you.
Adding
and Dropping Classes
During
the first ten days of classes students may add or drop classes without
penalty or record. Once classes begin students should complete a
Change
in Registration form to add classes; this must be signed by the professor
of the class and returned to the Registar's office in 106 Aquinas Hall.
After the first ten days of class students may withdraw from classes and
you will receive a "W" on your transcript. The Registrar's
Office and your Undergraduate Academic Catalog has a list of deadlines
for dropping and withdrawing from classes.
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.
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.
