Beginning August 1 (Fall Semester) or /January
1 (Spring Semester), complete applicable registration tasks (i.e., personal
information) in StudentCentral under My Information/Updates. Check-In and applicable registration tasks
must be completed prior to seeing your advisor, registering for classes or
accepting your preregistered class schedule to complete registration.
Reservation Status
Each student’s admission certificate has one of the
following reservation statuses for assisting students with registration and
Welcome Week activities:
·
New:
Students enrolling for the first time in residence at BJU.
·
Transfer:
Students enrolling for the first time in residence who previously
attended a postsecondary institution full-time during a semester following high
school graduation.
·
Returning: Students previously enrolled
in residence during a semester at BJU.
Registration Modes
There
are three opportunities for students to register and/or make changes to their
class schedule.
·
Preregistration:
Preregistration is primarily for current students continuing their
enrollment in courses the following semester.
New or returning students holding a reservation for a future term may
preregister during the summer/semester break prior to the start of the term
they will be attending. Course
validations during preregistration are based upon current course enrollments at
BJU with the assumption courses will be successfully completed and/or approved
and posted transfer work.
·
Registration:
All students who preregister complete their registration by
completing appropriate registration tasks (i.e., update personal information,
FERPA, declare intent to graduate, etc.) and accepting their class
schedule. Course validations are made
based upon prior term grades and/or summer/transfer work. Students who do not
preregister, enter registration at the start of a term.
·
Drop/Add: The
drop/add period at the start of a term is primarily for those students who are
incorrectly registered because of an error made during registration and for
those students who must change a course or section at the request of the
University. Students who wish to make changes for other reasons will be permitted to
do so as class limits permit. At the end
of the drop/add period, student schedules are set for the term.
Course Delivery
Course delivery is based upon course content, course
demand, and/or program:
·
Campus: Courses scheduled with specific day(s)
and time(s) in a classroom with an instructor.
· Remote:
o
Course internships, independent study, and study
abroad scheduled as TBA (To Be Announced) by the instructor.
o
Courses schedule with specific day(s)
and time(s) via livestream with an instructor.
·
Online: Courses delivered online with
structured deadlines over specified consecutive weeks with an instructor.
Courses are offered online in 7- to 8- week or for an entire term or
summer.
The number of courses a student desires
to take in a term based upon the course delivery options,
determines which StudentCentral Registration interface is used. See Registration
Based Upon Course Delivery below.
