Registration

Each semester registration procedures are available on the Wildcat Web. The official registration dates are found on the Bethune-Cookman University Academic Calendar. Students are encouraged to pre-register for classes each semester before the Summer and Christmas Breaks. A late fee of $100 is charged for late registration. This charge will be added to the student’s individual account.

Add-Drop Policy

Adding a Class

Students desiring to add a course may do so only during the “Change of Program” period, from the first day of classes until the last day of the add period as published in the official University calendar and/or registration instructions. Approval of the student’s academic advisor is necessary before any course changes can be made. Added courses are not official until the appropriate forms are submitted to the Office of the Registrar.

Dropping a Class

A student desiring to drop a course should initiate drop procedures with the classroom instructor. Approval by the student’s academic advisor is also required. A course may be dropped from the first day of classes to the end of the second week after mid-term exams as defined in the University calendar or in registration procedures. Students MUST carry at least 9 credit hours per semester in the graduate degree programs to be fulltime. Drops are not official until appropriate forms are completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar.

A reduction in course load may jeopardize a student’s eligibility to participate in athletics or to receive scholarships and/or financial aid benefits.
