Fall semester reminders
Greetings! Welcome back to the 2019-2020 academic year. Fall semester 2019 classes began on Monday, August 26, 2019. Please take a look at the following reminders:
Faculty: As you return to classes for the fall 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.
Drop/Add Deadline: The deadline for dropping a course(s) without financial penalty and/or adding a course(s) is August 30, 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 August 30 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 August 30, 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 November 25, 2019; however, we advise students to check their eServices for specific withdrawal deadlines for each course.
Waitlists: Waitlists for the 2019 fall semester courses will end on August 30. 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!
