Non-Traditional Undergraduate and all other Graduate and Doctoral Programs
Registration for the entire program is completed at the beginning of the student's first term at Judson, except for the Doctor of Education in Computer Science, who are registered for one year at a time. Students are registered by the Registrar's Office. Student schedules can be viewed via the MyJudson portal under Student Info. It is the student's responsibility to know what courses he/she is registered for. Once a registration is processed, the courses will immediately appear on the student's schedule, degree audit and academic record. To make official changes to their registration, students should reach out to their Academic Advisor prior to the course start.
Enrollment Coaches and Academic Advisors will assist in planning and advising students on how to finish degree requirements. Students are responsible for understanding and fulfilling graduation requirements. The course schedule, catalog and registration schedules provide the curriculum and course information to assist each student in completing degree requirements.
New Students: After being admitted to the University, it is the responsibility of the student to schedule a meeting with their Academic Advisor to discuss registration. Students starting a program must sign their Registration Form at their advising appointment. The date a completed and signed form is received by the Registrar's Office is the date it is effective.
Continuing Students: Students who have academic or financial holds will not be registered for additional courses. The student is responsible to clear any holds before submitting the Registration Form to their Academic Advisor. If a student does not submit their Registration Form, they will not be registered for courses or receive grades, regardless of whether they have attended and participated in courses. Students who have been pre-registered for their program may be dropped from courses if they become past due in their Student Account. These students may re-register for courses after resolving all holds.
Readmit Students: Students who have withdrawn from the University, or who have not attended for one or more semesters must reapply (see the Admissions pages for more details). Once readmitted, it is the responsibility of the student to schedule an appointment with their Academic Advisor to discuss registration. They will need to submit a new Registration Form approving their courses.
Associate to Bachelor: Declaration and Registration
Students enrolled in Judson’s Associate of Arts (AA) program may not take courses in a Bachelor of Arts (BA) program. Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis for students in the last term of their AA program who have applied and been accepted to one of Judson's BA programs, and who require additional credits to maintain full-time status.
Per the guidance of the Department of Education in the 2021-22 FSA Handbook, p. 1-31 states: "if a student is enrolled in courses that do not count toward their degree, certificate, or other recognized credential, they cannot be used to determine enrollment status unless they are eligible remedial courses” meaning a student in an Associate-seeking curriculum is not eligible to receive financial aid for Bachelor’s level courses as they are independent of one another.
Students who have completed the AA program may declare a major in a Bachelor of Arts programs by completing the Declaration of Major form in MyJudson. Students will then schedule an appointment with an Academic Advisor to discuss registration. After the AA degree has been conferred, the student will be moved to their new program requirements and will be registered for courses. Any questions regarding the AA to BA process should be directed to the Academic Advisor.
Adding and Dropping Courses
A student wishing to add or drop a course must complete an online Add/Drop Form in MyJudson. Students may not be added to a course that has already started. Withdrawals will be processed effective the date the completed form was submitted. Courses dropped prior to the start date will not be assessed a Drop Fee and will be removed from the transcript. Courses dropped after the start date will be assessed a Drop Fee. If the course is dropped prior to the second course meeting, it will remain on the transcript with a grade of W (withdrawal). Courses dropped prior to the fourth meeting will be assigned a grade of WP (withdrawal pass) or WF (withdrawal fail) as determined by the instructor. Any course dropped after the fourth meeting will be assigned a grade of WF. Financial Aid may be refunded to the awarding sources per federal regulations if a course is dropped. The student may have a bill due if the financial aid has already been disbursed.
Students who register for a course, never attend, but fail to officially drop the course will be administratively withdrawn by the Registrar's Office with a grade of Administrative Withdrawal Failure (AWF). This grade is indisputable and will negatively effect the student’s GPA. Students will be responsible for all tuition and fees.
