Review the Internet and email policies. Set up your Vandal accounts. Check VandalMail daily for emails from instructors, EO staff or other U-Idaho offices. Select a course, noting the course registration number (CRN). Contact academic departments for academic advising, course prerequisites and instructor permissions before registering.
Pay your course fees by the first day of the semester to avoid late fees.
Registration and Fees Register Early!
More information on the following payment options can be found on the EO website. Payment options include:
University of Idaho courses have enrollment minimums, and registering early can help ensure that scheduled courses will not be cancelled. This is critical for graduate level courses that are scheduled for production during the current semester. It is also important to register early because some courses have enrollment caps, which may be reached soon after registration opens. Refer to the EO Calendar on the inside front cover to determine when registration opens.
• Visa, MasterCard or Discover credit or debit card, • check or money order (payable to “University of Idaho Bursar”) sent to Engineering Outreach, • tuition voucher from U.S. military or corporations, • electronic bank transfer (e-check) via VandalWeb, or • payment plan at: www.uidaho.edu/controller/studentaccounts/ paymentplans.
How to Register EO students register using VandalWeb; refer to the VandalWeb Registration Instructions on the EO website. Also refer to the example on page 10 that discusses registering with CRNs (Course Registration Numbers).
Refunds Registering for a course creates a financial obligation to the University of Idaho. If there is any doubt about a course meeting your needs, please contact the instructor with questions prior to registering. Students are responsible for dropping courses prior to the first day of the semester to avoid being billed and graded. To receive a 100 percent refund, the course(s) must be dropped within the first 10 days; there are no refunds after the 10th day. See the EO Calendar on the inside front cover for the refund deadline. Contact EO at eoreg@uidaho.edu for assistance with dropping courses and refunds.
Students are advised to resolve prerequisite and permission requirements prior to attempting to register on VandalWeb. If the course description lists a prerequisite or permission requirement, students must contact the instructor or department to discuss their academic background, and to request removal of the hold. If students receive a hold while registering, they are required to take action in order to successfully register.
Textbooks
EO will send an email to the student’s VandalMail account confirming that the student’s registration information was received.
Textbooks and software are not included in the course materials supplied by EO, and the cost is not included with registration fees. Required textbooks are listed on the VandalStore’s website at www.vandalstore.com and may be ordered online by selecting Vandal Books; the EO section is typically section 10.

appointment with their proctors to take the exam; refer to the course syllabus or course website for more information about exam deadlines. For security, proctors will verify students’ picture IDs before releasing exams.
Students are responsible for finding a qualified person to administer the exam process in compliance with Engineering Outreach policies. Students submit their proctor information to EO each semester by using the Proctor Information Form on the EO website; and proctors must be certified before exams will be released. Proctor selection is subject to approval, and is monitored throughout the semester. Proctors must be impartial and cannot be students’ personal friends, family members, work subordinates or U-Idaho students. It is the student’s responsibility to pay for proctoring services if there is a charge.
Proctors are required to return completed exams by email or fax to EO immediately after completion. EO notifies students by email when exams are received from their proctors, and when graded exams are posted in the EO Portal. EO sends all email communication to the student’s VandalMail account. Proctors must store all exams in a secure file until the student receives a final grade for the course, then the exams are to be destroyed.
Examples of acceptable proctors are: • • • •

Course Completion Semester Deadline
Incompletes
The EO course completion deadline for fall 2013 is December 20, 2013, at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Final exams for live courses will become available in the EO Portal for proctors to access beginning December 9 through December 20; all exams for pre-encoded courses will be available to proctors at the beginning of the semester. It is critical that the student coordinates closely with the proctor to ensure the final exam reaches EO by the deadline.
A grade of “Incomplete” can only be assigned if a student has done passing work, but extenuating circumstances make it impossible to complete the course on time. Both the student and course instructor must agree on the extended deadline. Prior to requesting a grade of Incomplete, refer to the most current University of Idaho General Catalog, at www.uidaho.edu/registrar/classes/catalogs, and select General Requirements and Academic Procedures > Section F – Grades of Incomplete for detailed information.
Final Course Grades and Transcripts
Students who receive a grade of Incomplete must visit the EO Portal by December 27, 2013, to download any sessions necessary to complete the course; and ask their proctors to download any exams not taken by December 27.
Students may log in to VandalWeb to view final course grades and unofficial transcripts. Official transcripts may be ordered from the Registrar’s Office; visit www.uidaho.edu/registrar/transcripts for more information.
