Registration and Fees Register Early!
More information on the following payment options can be found on the EO website:
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 of this catalog 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 corporation • Electronic bank transfer (e-check) via VandalWeb • 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 13 of this catalog, which 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 Fall 2014 EO Calendar on the inside front cover of this catalog 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 the academic department to discuss their academic backgrounds and to request removal of holds. If students receive holds while registering, they are required to take action in order to successfully register.
Textbooks
EO will send an email to each 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.
Fees Students registering for EO courses pay a per-credit fee, and out-ofstate residents pay the same fees as residents. Fees include registration and online course access but do not include textbooks or software.
Financial Aid
Payment in full is expected at the time of registration and must be received by the first day of class to avoid late fees. If payment is not received by this time, the charges will remain outstanding on the student’s account, and late fees will accrue. EO will not release access to online sessions until payment has been received in full. Students are not automatically dropped due to non-payment and must drop the course to avoid late fees. This can be done either on VandalWeb or by contacting EO; see the EO Calendar on the inside front cover for deadlines.
Graduate and undergraduate students taking courses delivered by EO may be eligible for financial aid if they are enrolled at least half-time; nondegree students are not eligible. Visit Student Financial Aid Services at www.uidaho.edu/financialaid for more information.

Exam Process Selecting an Exam Proctor
Students submit their proctor information to EO each semester by using the EO Proctor form on the EO website. 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 must be certified before exams will be released. Proctor selection is subject to approval and is monitored throughout the semester.
Students are responsible for finding a qualified person to administer the exam process in compliance with Engineering Outreach policies. Qualified proctors must be able to read and comprehend English. Options for qualified proctors: • Faculty or staff at local educational institutions • Work supervisors, training coordinators or human resources personnel
Visit the EO website for more information about the exam process, including contact information for the university centers that provide proctoring services in Coeur d’Alene, Boise and Idaho Falls.
• U.S. military education officers • Public librarians
Exam Process At the start of the semester, the approved proctor receives access to the EO Portal from EO to download and print the PDF exam files. EO notifies both the student and the proctor by email when exams are made available to proctors. Students are responsible for scheduling appointments with their proctors to take exams; refer to the course syllabus or course website for more information about exam deadlines. Proctors will verify students’ picture IDs before releasing exams. Proctors are required to return completed exams by email or fax to EO within 24 hours of 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.

Course Completion Semester Deadline
Incompletes
The EO course completion deadline for fall 2014 is Dec. 19, 2014, at 3 p.m. pacific time. Final exams for live courses will become available in the EO Portal for proctors to access during finals week on campus; 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. The course instructor will assign 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, select “General Requirements and Academic Procedures,” then select “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 Jan. 2, 2015, to download any sessions necessary to complete the course. EO will notify proctors regarding the exam process for students who have a grade of incomplete.
Students may log in to VandalWeb to view final course grades and unofficial transcripts. Official transcripts may be ordered from the Office of the Registrar; visit www.uidaho.edu/registrar/transcripts for more information.
