University Registrar's Office

Adding Closed or Restricted Courses To add any class without a waiting list that is closed or restricted, you must obtain special permission from the department or instructor.  The process that allows the instructor to override his or her own courses is online through UNCGenie.  Once the professor has given the online override, you may register on the Web. Instructions for the online override process are here.

Withdrawal from All Courses Students who must withdraw from the University may do so by withdrawing from all courses via the Web through UNCGenie. Students who withdraw from all courses are considered to be withdrawn from the University and must seek reactivation or readmission through Undergraduate Admissions or The Graduate School to return to school in subsequent terms. See the Military Call-Up Policy that governs withdrawal of students called to active duty.

Further Inter-Institutional registration information is available in the Undergraduate Catalog. Inter-Institutional Registration University Registrar’s Office 180 Mossman, 1202 Spring Garden Street Greensboro NC 27412 336-334-5646 Registration for Courses at: Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and UNCG. The Inter-Institutional program is designed to expand the course options available to Degree-Seeking students who are currently enrolled in one of the six colleges and universities in the surrounding area. Its primary purpose is to assist a student in registering for a course(s) elsewhere that is unavailable in a given semester on the student’s home campus.

UNCG students who wish to enroll in courses at one or more of the Inter-Institutional schools may obtain the necessary forms from the University Registrar’s Office or The Graduate School Office. See form for instructions.

Course Schedule information for most of the participating schools is available online.

The dropping of a course should be initiated on the host campus. Regulations of the host campus relative to withdrawal and grades apply. Students must also notify the registrar on their home campus of any courses dropped.

Students from other Inter-Institutional schools who wish to take courses at UNCG will present the approved forms at their home institution, afterwhich, the home institution will submit to UNCG for processing during the period designated on the Registration Calendar. Instructions for completing registration will be available at that time. Inter-Institutional students wishing to enroll in courses in the Bryan School of Business and Economics must meet the entrance requirements required of UNCG students. Transcripts from the home institution will be required by the Bryan School before enrollment will be approved. Inter-Institutional Approval Form

Online Courses

Student Types

• Greensboro Main Campus Student – Students who are not in an online degree seeking program (examples: physically located on campus, visions, visiting students, consortium, auditors).
• Online Degree Seeking Student – Students accepted into an approved online degree seeking program (see http://online.uncg.edu for additional information). Students in an online degree seeking program are not eligible to attend courses offered on campus (coded as “Greensboro Main” under Campus in the Class Schedule). The exception process, and associated form, can be found at https://reg.uncg.edu/forms/online-student-registration-exception/.

Online Courses

Greensboro main campus students and online degree seeking students are eligible to register for online courses (coded as “Online” under Campus in the Class Schedule). These courses are well-suited for independent learners that want more flexibility in their schedule. Course sections are delivered in a fully online setting via the following formats:

Synchronous: course includes a specific meeting pattern with “live” interaction

Asynchronous: course does not include a meeting pattern or “live” interaction

Proctoring/Fees

Some online courses require that exams be proctored via UNC Online or using the option of coming to the UNCG campus to take the exam on a specific date and time. Instructors determine which proctoring options will be acceptable for their respective classes. Information regarding available dates for each proctored exam will be provided by the instructor to students by the first day of class each semester via the course syllabus and Canvas.

Fees: There may be additional fees associated with online courses for verification of student identity for proctored examinations.

Online degree seeking students may incur additional fees based on the online delivery mode (see http://online.uncg.edu for additional information).

American Sign Language 

All students who have had prior experience with American Sign Language in high school or elsewhere, or who are deaf or hard of hearing and consider themselves native signers, or who are transfer students, must have taken the placement exam to enroll in SES 102 American Sign Language II through SES 306 American Sign Language VI. Students may make an appointment to take the placement exam by calling the Professions in Deafness Program 336/256-1217. The test takes approximately one hour to an hour and a half and is a written and performance exam. A study guide and additional information is provided on the Professions in Deafness Program Web site, www.uncg.edu/ses/ses_deaf.

Foreign Language

French, German, Latin, Russian, or Spanish students with one or more years of high school French, German, Latin, Russian, or Spanish who wish to continue the study of that same language at UNCG must take the Language Placement Test before registering for these courses. Placement tests are offered only for these languages; students should consult departments about placement in other languages. Incoming transfer students returning to the study of French, German, Russian, or Spanish begun in high school but not previously pursued at the college level, must also take the test. Transfer students with college-level foreign languages credit are encouraged to take the placement exam to determine their best starting point.Language Placement Test scores are valid for one year after the test is taken. The test can be taken only once yearly. Once a student has begun the lower-level sequence (101–204/241), he or she cannot retake the placement exam in order to place out of any of the remaining courses in the sequence.If students have high school foreign language deficiency of one unit, they must take the Language Placement Test if they wish to continue their high school language. If they plan to begin a new foreign language or if they have a deficiency of two units, they do not take the placement test; they enroll in first semester courses. These scores are binding unless placement change is initiated by the instructor. Foreign Language Placement Tests will be held as follows:

French, German, Russian, and Spanish
Contact the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, 334-5655, 2321 Moore Humanities and Research Administration Building between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. (test taken on computer; scores are available immediately and are valid for one year)
Latin
Contact the Classical Studies Department, 334-5703 1103 Moore Humanities and Research Administration Building between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. http:classics.uncg.edu/for-students/latin-placement-test

Placement Tests are also given at SOAR.

Mathematics Placement Test

There is no prerequisite for MAT 112, 115, and 150; hence, no student is required to take the mathematics placement test. Science or Business majors with very strong backgrounds in precalculus or calculus should consult (at least two months prior to the beginning of a semester via matplace@uncg.edu) with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in order to discuss the possibility of taking the Mathematics Placement Test. Placement Test Scores Scores will be available from the respective departments within 24 hours after the tests are taken. Students should pick up their scores before meeting with their advisors.

A prerequisite is a course that must be completed before another course may be taken. Prerequisites are indicated in the online catalog after the course title, indicating the courses that must be met before that course may be taken. Students may not enroll in a course without having completed the proper prerequisites unless the prerequisites have been waived by the department in which the course is offered. Real-time, automated prerequisite checking is active for all courses. Students who attempt to register for a course section for which they do not have the prerequisite will receive this error message: PREQ/TEST SCORE ERROR. This means they do not have the prerequisite. Instructors may override a prerequisite requirement for individual students by using the Registration Override function available to them on UNCGenie. This override, once entered by the instructor, allows the student to register him/herself through UNCGenie. Here’s a link to the video tutorial and quick reference guides.

The United States Air Force and Army Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) programs are available to UNCG students through the Greater Greensboro Consortium on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University. As a member of the Consortium, UNCG offers students these opportunities for leadership training and a commission in the Army or Air Force through cross-registration at N.C. A&T State University.

(See https://reg.uncg.edu/wp-content/uploads/Register.pdf for step-by-step instructions to register for a waitlisted course.)

• • Waitlisting is available on a course-by-course basis at the preference of the instructor. Not every course will have a waitlist.

• • If activated by the instructor, waitlisting will be available during Drop/Add for continuing students (Registration by Appointment for new students) and closes after the registration period for that course.

• • Once a waitlisted course reaches the maximum enrollment and the waitlist feature is engaged, it will no longer appear in the “Detailed Class Schedule” search available on UNCGenie. The course will appear using only the simple “Class Schedule” search in UNCGenie (This screen is identified by having only three search fields: Term, Subject, and Course Category.).

• • The number of spots available on the waitlist for each course is limited. If all of the spots are full, the system will return a message that the request failed. Continue to monitor the course for possible openings.

• • Waitlist notifications are sent to the e-mail address that the student has as identified as “preferred” in UNCGenie. Students should verify that the “preferred” e-mail in the “Personal Information” section of UNCGenie is set to the iSpartan address.

• • If a seat becomes available in a course with a waitlist, the first person on the waitlist will receive an e-mail notification and will be granted a 24-hour window to add the course. Only the first person on the waitlist will be notified and no one else will be able to add that course during the 24-hour window.

• • If the student does not add the course within the 24-hour window following notification, the student will be dropped from the waitlist and the opportunity to add the course will be extended to the next person on the waitlist.

• • If the student misses the window to add the course, the student is no longer on the waitlist for the course. The student must submit a new request to be added to the waitlist and will lose all previous ranking on the waitlist. Students should check e-mail on a regular basis when waitlisted for a course.

• • Signing up for a course waitlist does not affect the number of hours registered. Adding the course after notification does.

• • If the waitlisted course has a corequisite, the corequisite course must be added simultaneously with the waitlisted course.
