Cancellation of a student’s registration occurs under the following circumstances:

Failure to Pay Tuition and Fees by Stated Deadlines

Payment of bills for the Fall and Spring Semesters must be made in the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office, 151 Mossman Building, by the deadline dates set by the University Registrar and published in the semester Schedule of Courses booklets. The deadline dates are also set forth in the instructions mailed to students with their bills. Payments not received by these dates will result in the cancellation of registration. It is the student’s responsibility to verify that Financial Aid awards are in order or to make other payment arrangements with the Cashiers and Students Accounts Office.

Students should contact the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office (336/334-5831) with any questions about tuition and fees or the payment process. Also see Late Registration Fee.

Failure to Provide Immunization Records

Students who have been admitted to UNCG are required by North Carolina State law to submit an immunization form with appropriate verification of immunizations. This form is supplied by the admitting office and must be satisfactorily completed and returned to Gove Student Health Center.

Failure to comply with this requirement within thirty calendar days from the first day of registration will result in the student’s being administratively withdrawn from the University.

Once dropped from the University, the student must re-apply for admission should he or she wish to return the following semester or any time thereafter.

This requirement applies to all students, regardless of whether they are part-time or full-time. Students subjected to an administrative withdrawal for failure to comply with medical clearance requirements are entitled to a refund, subject to the guidelines of the university’s Refund Policy.

Course Withdrawal/Add Dates

The course registration process occurs online through UNCGenie. See registration instructions for course withdrawal/add step-by-step assistance.Continuing students must obtain the advising code from the assigned academic advisor/unit.  This advising code is used for making any registration adjustments throughout the semester in UNCGenie.

March 28, 2016–August 26, 2016:  Schedule Adjustment

The schedule adjustment period allows undergraduate students to modify their schedules without having any modifications documented on their academic records or counting toward the course withdrawal limits outlined in the UNCG Course Withdrawal Policy.  Please note some courses periodically follow an abbreviated schedule adjustment period.  See the Parts of Term calendar for all schedule adjustment dates.

August 27, 2016-October 14, 2016:   Withdrawals without Incurring a WF Grade

Undergraduate students who have not exceeded the course withdrawal limits outlined in the UNCG Course Withdrawal Policy may withdraw from a fifteen-week course or courses after the schedule adjustment period but prior to the last day to withdraw without incurring a WF grade. These withdrawn courses will be recorded with a W or WX grade. All WX grades count toward the 16 semester-hour limit and are subject to tuition surcharge calculations, financial aid, and academic standing rules.  For the shorter parts of term, please be sure to follow the Parts of Term calendar for withdrawal dates and deadlines.

Beginning October 15, 2016:   Withdrawals with Academic Penalty

Course withdrawals for fifteen-week courses that occur after the last day to withdraw without incurring a WF grade are calculated as an F (failing) grade.  For the shorter parts of term, please be sure to follow the Parts of Term calendar for withdrawal dates and deadlines.

Course Withdrawal Limits

Beginning Fall 2014, undergraduate students are limited to withdrawing from a maximum of 16 semester hours during their undergraduate career.

Courses that count toward the 16-hour limit receive a WX grade. All WX grades are subject to tuition surcharge calculations, financial aid, and academic standing rules.

Courses that exceed the 16-hour maximum earn a WF, regardless of when the student withdraws from the course.

The following hours do not count in the 16 hour limit:

• Withdrawal hours accrued prior to Fall 2014
• Withdrawals during the schedule adjustment period (March 28-August 26, 2016)
• Total withdrawal from all courses prior to the last day to withdraw without academic penalty (October 14, 2016)
• Course withdrawals approved through the Course Withdrawal Request process in the Students First Office

Be sure to update your e-mail addresses using UNCGenie’s E-mail Address Change feature. Billing notifications are sent to students’ Preferred addresses. If no address is selected as Preferred, the UNCG e-mail address is used.

Payments may be made by cash, check, credit card, or University-approved financial aid. Checks must include the student’s ID number and should be made payable to: The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. WebCheck payments may still be made online without charge. Payments made by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express can only be made online with a 2.75% convenience fee charge. The convenience fee minimum is $3.00.

Late Registration Fees

Early Registration—$30.00

Continuing students eligible to register during early registration for the following semester who choose not to do so, or who fail to confirm their registration, are charged a late fee of $30.00.

Late Registration—$45.00

Students who register after registration has closed, whether for the first time with written permission or after being reinstated, or reregistered, after a cancellation.

Waiver of the late fee will be considered only when it can be demonstrably shown that the university, through one of its offices or officials, was directly responsible for the failure of the student to complete registration. Late Fee Waiver Forms may be obtained from the University Registrar’s Office, Mossman Building.

Distance Learning/Off-Campus Fees

Tuition and fee rates per credit hour for distance learning/off-campus courses—those in UNCGenie with a campus code
of D—are assessed at distance learning rates.

See http://csh.uncg.edu/ for rate information. Technology and administrative computing fees per credit hour as well as a registration fee are also charged.

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 SpanishStudents 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://www.uncg.edu/cla/latin_test.html

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. See http://www.uncg.edu/mat/undergraduate/mathplacetest.html.

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 bulletins after the course title and credit by Pr. followed by the requirements 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 head of the department in which the course is offered.

Real-time, automated prerequisite checking is active for courses numbered 599 and lower.

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 (it does not indicate any sort of problem with tests or test scores).

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.

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 http://www.uncg.edu/reg/Reg/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 Apointment for new students) and closes on the Friday before the first day of classes for the term.

• 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 avialable 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.
