REGISTRATION AND WAITLIST PROCEDURES REGISTRATION

WAITLIST REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Every student is required to register when entering the university and thereafter as announced by the registrar. Undergraduate Advising Office academic advisors and upper level major academic advisors offer preregistration advising.

A student unable to register for a course because no seats are available, may be able to request “waitlist” registration.

Departments may elect to offer waitlist registration. Each department establishes its own rules about waitlist registration. Before requesting waitlist registration meet with an academic advisor about course scheduling options.

A preregistration period is held for currently enrolled students to register for the next semester during the fall and spring semesters, in November and April, respectively. The Office of the Registrar, registrar.tamu.edu/, assigns individual registration times. Students can use the Howdy  My Profile icon (approximately mid- to late March and mid- to late October) to view their assigned registration times.

For questions about the assigned registration times contact Registration: 979.845.1003 or registration@tamu.edu.

Registration Holds. Students can use the Howdy  My Profile icon to check for registration, transcript, or graduation holds. Departments have the ability to place holds on students’ records to prevent registering for classes. The type of hold placed on a student’s record determines if a student will be able to register for classes.

2021 – 2022 Student Handbook

ACADEMIC RULES AND DEFINITIONS Each student has the responsibility to be fully acquainted with and to comply with the Texas A&M Student Rules, student-rules.tamu.edu/. More specific rules, information and procedures may be found in various publications. In the following section Mays Business School highlights for you several important academic rules and definitions.

1. ADDING/DROPPING COURSE DEADLINES. Add: 5th class day of a fall or spring semester; 4th class day of a summer term.

Drop: 5th class day of a fall or spring semester; 4th class day of a summer term.

4. WITHDRAWAL. An official withdrawal from the university will result when a student drops all inprogress courses in a particular term. Meet with an academic advisor about this option and required procedures.

For specific semester or term dates refer to the Academic Calendar, registrar.tamu.edu/.

The deadline to withdraw in a fall or spring semester is the 60th class day; in a summer term it is the 15th class day; in a 10-week summer semester it is the 35th class day.

The grading status may be changed via online registration, through the deadline to add/drop classes. Refer to the Adding/Dropping Course deadlines.

3. Q-DROP. The symbol Q is given to indicate a course dropped without academic penalty. Per University Student Rules, student-rules.tamu.edu/, 1.18, undergraduate students are normally permitted four Q-drops during their undergraduate studies at Texas A&M, regardless of transfer status. State law prohibits students from having more than six dropped courses from all state institutions attended during their undergraduate career.

The Q-drop deadline in a fall or spring semester is the 60th class day; in a summer term it is the 15th class day; in a 10-week summer semester it is the 35th class day. Courses taught on a shortened format or between regularly scheduled terms have proportional deadlines, determined by the registrar’s office.

Fulfill my commitments in the job offer I have accepted, and not consider other offers of employment.
