Reminders from the Registrar’s Office

Welcome back! Spring semester 2019 classes began on January 14, 2019. Please take a look at the following reminders:

Faculty: As you return to classes for the spring 2019 semester, please check your class lists on eServices under class management. Please be aware of the time and where your classes are meeting, as that can change after the semester begins. Students are not allowed to sit in classes they are not registered for.

Students: As you return to classes for the spring 2019 semester, please check your schedule on eServices frequently. It is possible that changes have been made to your classes, so be aware of the time and where your classes are meeting. Changes to the location of your classes can occur after classes have started, so you should continue to check your schedule during the first week of classes. Students are responsible for all deadlines and registration activity and are NOT allowed to sit in classes they are not registered for.

Drop/Add Deadline: The deadline for dropping a course(s) without financial penalty and/or adding a course(s) is January 18, 2019, at 4 p.m. No entry will be made in a student’s record if a course is dropped before this date. 

Class Permissions: After the January 18 deadline, a student can no longer add courses via eServices. A department issued ‘registration permit’ will be required to add any courses and must be processed in the Registrar’s Office. The permit must be signed by the student and the instructor teaching the course. Permits can be found in departments or on the Registrar’s Office website under Forms.

Holds: If issues occur while trying to add or drop a course, it maybe because of a hold or certain restriction on the course. To see a list of common reasons along with the error message and possible solution, go to the following link: Common Registration Problems

Withdrawal Deadline: Students may continue to drop classes after January 18, but will receive a ‘W’ on their academic record and will remain financially responsible for tuition and fees. Withdrawal deadlines vary for half term and full term sessions. For most full-term sessions the deadline is April 23, 2019; however we advise students to check their eServices for specific withdrawal deadlines for each course.

Waitlists: Waitlists for the 2019 spring semester courses will end on January 18. Waitlists are lists of students waiting to get registered for a course that is full. If a student is on a waitlist for a course, they will receive a notification sent to their mnstate.edu email account. The student will have 24 hours after being notified to go to eServices and register for the course. 

If you have questions, please visit the Registrar’s Office Webpage or contact the Registrar’s Office at 218.477.2565. 

Have a great start to the semester!
