Spring 2024 Start of Semester Reminders
Happy New Year! As the spring semester begins today, Jan. 8, please take a look at the following reminders:
Faculty: As you return to classes for the spring 2024, please check your class lists on eServices. 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.
Drop/Add Deadline: The deadline for dropping a course(s) without financial penalty and/or adding a course(s) is January 12, 2024, 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 12 deadline, a student can no longer add courses via eServices. To add a course, please do the following:
-
A student who wants to register for a course after the semester’s free add/drop period (first five days of the semester) will need to contact the instructor via email. The email needs to include the student’s name, student id, semester, course subject and number, course id, and # of credits (if variable credit course).
If the instructor grants the approval, they will reply to the student’s email and copy in the Registrar’s Office (registrar@mnstate.edu).
The Registrar’s Office will process the registration and email both the student and instructor to confirm.
Holds: If students have an issue 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 12, 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 15, 2024; however we advise students to check their eServices for specific withdrawal deadlines for each course.
Waitlists: Waitlists for the 2024 spring semester courses will end on January 12. 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 registrar@mnstate.edu.
Have a great start to the semester!
