REGISTRATION

Course Selection

Students select courses for the subsequent semester so the respective schools know the demand for each course. The number of sections the following semester is a direct result of student’s course selections during this period.
Course selection is a privilege for all continuing students to make their class needs known. It gives the university vital information to better accommodate its students. Course Selection periods are announced to students each semester.
Course Selection is a two part process. First students have ten days to meet with their advisors, figure out which classes to take, and then deliver the associated forms to Enrollment Services. The week immediately following students must input their courses electronically on their Jenzabar portal. Each student has a designated day during the week depending on how many credits they have earned prior to the current semester.

For the first part, students follow these steps:

(1) Print an Advising Contract and an Advisor Approval Form to Pre-register from their Jenzabar portal
(2) Make an appointment with their advisor
(3) Meet with their advisor to get assistance selecting their courses for the following semester and filling out the form
(4) Select alternate courses also in case first choice courses are cancelled or have time conflicts
(5) Get the signature of their advisor at the bottom of the form
(6) Get second approval signature from the school coordinator (on the same form)
(7) Sign and date the Advising Contract
(8) Bring both forms to the Registrar’s Office for copies of each to be made and then filed
(9) Keep the originals of both documents for their own records

For the second part, students follow these steps:

(1) Log on to their Jenzabar portal on their designated day
(2) Using the “Course Search” icon, look-up each class listed on their Advisor Approval form and click on the box next to the class
(3) The classes are added to their “Pre-registration” schedule, but no sections are specified

Pre-Registration

Students select courses for the subsequent semester to guarantee space in the offered courses. This process occurs about two weeks after Course Selection concludes.

Pre-registration is mandatory for all continuing students. Pre-registration periods are published in the academic catalog and in the academic calendar.

Students pre-register according to the number of credits already earned, semester of entry to AUI, and the current credit load.

To pre-register for courses, students must:

(1) Log onto their Jenzebar portal and add the courses previously selected with their advisor. They can choose the section that suits them based on class day, time, and instructor.

(2) This is done in the same way courses were added during Course Selection (using the “Course Search” icon)

(3) If there are time conflicts or if classes have reached their capacity, students can choose from the alternate classes listed on their advisor approval form

Registration

Registration refers to the process by which students are officially enrolled in courses for a given semester.
Registration and late registration dates are published in the catalog and in the academic calendar. Students may register for classes on the regularly scheduled registration dates through the end of the add/drop period (4th class day in regular semesters and 2nd class day in summer sessions). A MDH 500 fee is charged for late registration even if the student has pre-registered. For the purpose of the fee assessment, late registration is defined as on or after the first day of classes. (Students enrolling late in a course should not expect special make-up assistance from the instructor.) Students may not register for classes after the last day of registration. Note: students must be officially enrolled at AUI in the semester in which they graduate.
Students register according to the time assignment communicated in advance by the Registrar’s Office. Students in good academic standing pick up their schedule, validate the registration using the “Registration Validation” form, and then proceed to the Business Office, insurance process, Housing, and the bookstore.
Students who are on probation, unsatisfactory standing, continuous probation, or returning after being suspended have to clear their status with their school. Once the appeal is accepted, the student revises his/her initial schedule with the advisor and coordinator using the “Registration” form (see attached). The updated schedule is issued to the student who should follow the same registration steps indicated before.
