Registration Policies and Regulations

Enrollment and Registration for Classes

Students must be officially registered for all classes in accordance with the regulations, procedures, and dates in the quarterly undergraduate听Deadlines & Registration听booklet.听Registration is subject to full payment of tuition, room and board charges, and other fees associated with enrollment. The University reserves the right to deny registration to any student for reasonable cause. A student鈥檚 eligibility to register for classes is subject to the clearance of any holds on the student鈥檚 record for academic, financial, student conduct, or other reasons. Students register for classes via Workday听during the time assigned by the Office of the Registrar. Students who do not complete registration during the initial registration period may do so during the published late registration period for the term. Initial registration for a term or class additions are not accepted after the last day of the late registration period.

During the first week of each fall, winter, and spring term, students may add and swap听classes in accordance with the procedures established by the Office of the Registrar. During the first, second, third, and fourth weeks of the term, a student may drop a class without receiving a mark of 鈥淲鈥� for the class on their academic record. From the fifth week to the end of the seventh week of the term, a student may drop a class and receive a mark of 鈥淲鈥� for the class on their academic record. Students may not drop classes after the last day of the seventh week of the term. Students who do not complete a course and do not drop the class in accordance with the required procedures will receive an appropriate grade in the class.

Students who have not earned 44 units, including transfer and test credit, may be subject to administrative withdrawal from upper-division courses. This restriction does not apply to upper-division courses for which a student has demonstrated sufficient proficiency.

Students may not sit in a class without formally enrolling in the class. Sitting in a class or obtaining an instructor鈥檚 signature on an add form does not constitute enrollment.

Students who are enrolled in but do not attend the first day of a class are subject to administrative cancellation of their enrollment in that class in order to make space available to other students. A student who must miss the first day of a class and wishes to remain in the course should contact the instructor in advance. Students who miss the first day of a class however, should听not assume that they have been dropped from the course. Students are responsible for checking the status of their enrollment in all courses prior to the end of the late registration period.

Unit Overload

Students may enroll for no more than 19 units unless they are in the University Honors Program or School of Engineering, their cumulative grade听point average at Santa Clara is at least 3.3, or they have upper-division status and obtain approval from the Drahmann Center. One 2-unit course or two 1-unit courses are not counted as overload units. Students who meet the criteria above will not be permitted to register for more than 25 units without approval of the Dean of Academic Support Services. Students may register for courses that result in overload units only during the Open Enrollment 听period. See the website of the Office of the Registrar for registration schedules.

Auditing Courses

Students admitted to degree status at Santa Clara may audit one course in addition to their regular course load in a term. A maximum of three courses may be audited during a student鈥檚 academic career. Permission to audit a course will be given only at the end of the Open Enrollment period and only if space is available in the class. No credit is assigned for an audited course, but the successful completion of an audit will be indicated on a student鈥檚 transcript by the notation 鈥淎UD.鈥�

Administrative Cancellation of Course Enrollment

Students who enroll in a course for which they are not eligible are subject to administrative cancellation of their enrollment in that course. Prior to the end of the late registration period, an instructor may notify the University Registrar to drop first-year students who registered in upper-division courses, to drop students who have not satisfied the prerequisites for the course, or to drop students lacking the instructor permission required for certain courses.

Leave of Absence

A Leave of Absence (LOA) through Workday occurs when a student requests to take time away from 黑料网 (黑料网) in a current or future quarter with the intention of returning within two quarters of the leave. Instructions to initiate the leave can be found here. The form will ask the student which term they expect to return from the leave. If the leave is approved, then the student鈥檚 record will be updated indicating the leave. The student鈥檚 record will remain active and the student will continue to receive 黑料网 notifications and correspondence, and will receive a registration appointment for the term they plan to return.

An approved Leave of Absence requested by the 鈥淒rop without W鈥� deadline (the end of the 4th week of classes) for the current term will result in no courses appearing for that term. If it is requested between the 5th and 7th week for the current term, and is approved, W鈥檚 will be posted for each course on the student鈥檚 record. The Drahmann Advising and Learning Resource Center will review any leave that is requested after the 7th week of the term (the class withdrawal deadline).

University Withdrawal

A University Withdrawal involves a student requesting a full withdrawal and termination from 黑料网, with the intent to not return. Students requesting a university withdrawal need to meet with a Drahmann Advising and Learning Resources Center advisor prior to the withdrawal being processed. A withdrawal request requires an exit interview with a Drahmann Center advisor. If it is learned that the student has unofficially withdrawn from the university, Drahmann Advising will reach out to the student. If there is no response, the student will be officially withdrawn administratively.

Students who wish to withdraw from the University for the current quarter must do so by the last day of classes. The request will be reviewed by a Drahmann advisor and decided following a meeting with the student.

If the formal requirements for withdrawal are met, the student's registration will be canceled without further academic penalty. Students who leave the University during a term without withdrawing in accordance with the required procedures will receive an appropriate grade in all courses in which they were registered and are not eligible for a refund of tuition or other fees.

Students who withdraw from the University are responsible for any outstanding financial obligations with the University. Students who used deferred payment plans or student loans during their attendance at the University must clear their financial obligations with the Financial Aid Office and the Bursar's Office. Students who have unpaid bills or other unsettled financial obligations with the University will not be eligible for re-enrollment until they have cleared all such obligations.
