Registration Appointment Hours

Earned Hours (EHRS) are the number of credits used to determine your registration appointment day and time. Use this chart to determine your Registration Appointment time based upon your earned hours. Banner Self-Service through 49er Express has a "Check Registration Status" link under the heading "Registration" in Student Services.

Summer and Fall 2013 -- Registration Appointment Table

Open Registration begins on March 29 at 9:00 AM (No Appointment Time Needed)

Academic Advising

All degree-seeking students are encouraged to consult with an academic advisor in the selection of courses.

Students in certain degree programs may be required to consult with an advisor before they will be allowed to register. This status can be found under Registration Status in Self-Service.

• Students who have declared a degree program should consult with an advisor in the department responsible for that program.
• Undeclared undergraduate students should seek academic advising from the University Advising Center located at Colvard 2200, (704-687-7717).

Students should arrange to see an advisor well before the time they will register. Academic departments ensure that advising services are available by appointment, but cannot be expected to provide advising on an instantaneous, "walk-in" basis. Students are encouraged to make an advising appointment online through Niner Advisor. For more information contact Academic Advising.

Student Responsibilities

Students are responsible for the management of their course registrations.

Through the registration process, students accept academic and financial responsibility for the classes in which they enroll. Students' responsibilities include:

• Following policies and procedures as outlined in the UNC Charlotte Undergraduate or Graduate Catalog and other documents relevant to their individual situation.
• Selecting classes appropriate for their academic goals, preparation, drop and add transactions and verifying that these have been correctly recorded.
• Payment of tuition and fees.

Registration Holds

Students may be blocked from registration by holds that may be placed for various reasons - including:

• College or departmental advising requirements
• Invalid admissions status
• Outstanding financial obligations
• Non returned equipment or library materials
• Suspension and disciplinary
• Non-compliance with NC Immunization Law
• Missing College Transcripts

UNC Charlotte makes every effort to notify students of the presence of holds. Any holds that a student currently has may be viewed under Registration Status on 49er Express.

Terminating Course Enrollment

Students are academically and financially responsible for the classes in which they enroll. They are released from this obligation only by the formal termination of their enrollment as described below.

Students who drop all classes for which they are enrolled prior to the first day of classes are credited with a 100% refund of tuition and there will be no record of the semester on the student's permanent record.

Graduate Level Students

Policy on Continuous Registration

Students in graduate degree programs are required to maintain continuous registration (fall and spring semesters) for thesis, dissertation, project, or directed study until all work is completed. Students are not required to enroll in any summer term unless they are completing degree requirements in that term. The continuous registration requirement begins with the semester in which the student first registers for his/her thesis, dissertation, project, or directed study.

For non-GASP students that have completed their coursework but are still using University resources, the expectation is that they register for the number of credit hours that reflects their use of University resources (generally 3 or more graduate credit hours).

For doctoral students supported on GASP, a requirement is that they register for 9 or more graduate level credit hours (fall and spring semesters) until they defend their dissertation.

Students who must remain continuously enrolled but are not using University resources should apply for a leave of absence. Students choosing this option must file a "Special Request". See the Graduate School's Special Request Form for a leave of absence, stating they will not use University resources during the leave period. If the leave of absence extends beyond one calendar year, the student’s matriculation is closed and the student must re-apply for active status in the graduate program.

International students on F-1 visa/status must remain continuously enrolled until the thesis, dissertation, project or directed study is completed. Those international students who wish to apply for a leave of absence are advised to consult with the International Student/Scholar Office prior to filing the Special Request for leave of absence.

Note: Students must be enrolled during the term (semester or summer) in which they graduate from the University.

Only students that have defended their project, thesis, or dissertation, and are not using University resources – but need to be registered in order to graduate – can register for GRAD 7999 (certificate and master’s students only) or GRAD 9999 (doctoral students only).

New Student Eligibility

Continuing students may conduct registration transactions during scheduled registration hours at any point after their eligibility begins on March 25, 2013.

• New Degree Graduates and PhD students register with continuing graduates beginning on March 25, 2013.
• New Freshmen and Transfers students for Fall register through the SOAR program.
• Registration for Visiting and Non-Degree undergraduate students opens March 29, 2013 at 9:00 AM.

Closed Sections

Each course/section has a specified enrollment limit. When enrollment in a course section reaches the limit, it is considered "closed" and no further enrollments will be processed. Students wishing to enroll in a specific course/section which has closed may contact the academic department sponsoring the course to request that the department enter an electronic permit in a closed or restricted section. The student must then complete the enrollment process by using the Web System and enrolling in the class.
