SP07 Registration Information

Questions regarding any of the following information, except as otherwise noted, should be directed to the Office of Records and Registration - 970-491-4860 or RecordsOffice@colostate.edu, located in the Administration Annex. Office hours are Monday through Wednesday, Friday 7:45a until 4:45p; Thursday 9:00a until 4:45p (7:30a - 4:30p during summer session).

Registration Procedures
By the act of registration (i.e., requests for and assignment to one or more classes), you are financially liable to the University for assessed tuition, fees and charges. Unless you officially withdraw from the University (see WITHDRAWAL) during the authorized withdrawal periods, you are obligated to pay the full amount of the assessment and are subject to grades regardless of whether you attend class.

The University will mail a billing statement to a designated billing address or current address if no billing address is on file. If full payment of University charges is not made when due, you are subject to a late payment charge. Direct billing questions to Student Financial Services in the Administration Annex, (970) 491-6321.

Registration, including schedule changes (adds and drops), is accomplished on-line by selecting the Registration link in RAMweb. In order to fully benefit from the system, it is essential that you follow the required procedures and conform to the established deadlines. Preparation prior to registration minimizes mistakes and time on the system, thereby reducing the demand during peak registration periods.

After completion of the registration process, double check your class schedule on RAMweb to be sure that you are registered for the appropriate courses.

CANCELING YOUR REGISTRATION
You may cancel your registration at any time through January 15, 2007 the day before classes begin, by using the registration system to drop all courses for which you are registered. All tuition, fees and charges for Spring Semester 2007 will be canceled. All financial aid awarded prior to the beginning of classes will be canceled if you fail to enroll. You are the only one, through the use of your eID to access the system, who can cause this cancellation. On, or after, January 16, see SCHEDULE CHANGES.

PREPARATION FOR REGISTRATION
Contact your adviser for assistance in selecting your courses. If you do not know who your adviser is, contact the department of your major for assistance. Students with the following majors should contact the Center for Advising and Student Achievement: University Open Option, Open Option Seeking Art, Open Option Seeking Engineering, Open Option Seeking Physics, Open Option Seeking Business, Open Option Seeking Technical Journalism, Applied Human Sciences Open Option, and GUEST. College Open Option students should contact their college dean’s office. Familiarize yourself with the format for the listing of courses.

SMART
During your department advising session you will be issued a Schedule Manager for Advising and Registration by Technology (SMART) form. This document will include personal information about you, such as class (for the next term), college, major, second major, minor, address, etc. The accuracy of this information must be checked by you and, if necessary, corrected in the Office of Records and Registration. The SMART also contains information about your registration for the spring semester. This will include your advising code if applicable, the beginning time for your access to the registration system, HOLDS on your registration, registration and schedule change deadlines, etc. Get your SMART FORM before you attempt to register.

eID
Your eidentity (eID) is to be used for the duration of your enrollment at Colorado State. Your eID (eName and ePassword) is required for access to the registration/grades system and RAMweb. It provides security to your registration record, so do not share it with others. If you believe it has been compromised, you may change your ePassword at www.colostate.edu and click on Students/RAMweb. Then click on Login Help/Forgotten ePassword and follow the directions.

ADVISING CODE
Some students are required to seek advising before they register. An advising code must be entered at their first use of the registration system each term. This code changes each term and is available on their SMART form or from their adviser/department. This code is in addition to the eID (eName and ePassword) required for registration.

HOLDS
Academic and administrative offices can place HOLDS on your registration which prevent registering or changing your registration schedule. HOLDS are placed for a variety of reasons (academic, financial, etc.). Failure to meet a payment deadline will result in a financial HOLD, which will prevent adds for a registered student. Each HOLD and the office involved (including office locations) are listed by the registration system. These may differ from those listed on the SMART since HOLDS are continually updated. You must clear each HOLD with the office involved. Clear your HOLDS before you attempt to register.

If a HOLD is placed on your registration after you have registered, your registration will not be automatically canceled. However, you will not have registration access to adjust your schedule or to register for subsequent terms until the HOLDS are cleared. HOLDS do not extend other deadlines. HOLDS must be cleared prior to deadlines or adds will not be authorized. HOLDS do not prevent dropping or withdrawing from a class.

REGISTRATION PRIORITY
Registration priority is determined by class level with professional (DVM) and graduates beginning October 23, 2006 followed by seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen in that order. Within each class, students with the greatest number of cumulative credits passed will have the highest priority. Your cumulative credits include any for which you are currently enrolled with the assumption that you will pass them. Obviously, a greater selection of courses will be available if you register early: FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Get SMART or log into RAMweb so you can see when your access begins. The class priority schedule ends approximately November 19, 2006. Newly admitted students may begin registration on November 20, 2006.

REGISTRATION SYSTEM OPERATING HOURS
The registration system will operate during the following periods:

All of these times are subject to change due to demands on the system or equipment availability. Access time is limited.

If you lack this necessary information while you are registering, you can exit the system and re-enter when you are ready.

Some departments place class restrictions, major restrictions or prerequisites on courses or sections of courses. These restrictions are listed with each course. Some restrictions may be temporary until students of designated class or major have had an opportunity to register for the course or section involved. Exceptions to these restrictions may be made only by the academic department offering the course.

When you are denied enrollment in a course, the reason is given. Reasons could include: class is filled, ineligible because of class or major restriction, time conflict with another course, lacking prerequisites, etc. You may be eligible for another section of the same course, and you can request a list of open sections.

You may also re-enter the system to add another course, drop a course for which you registered earlier, or change credits in a variable credit course for which you are registered. You are urged to do this prior to mid-January when use of the registration system increases as the first day of class approaches.

After completion of the registration process, double check your class schedule on RAMweb to be sure that you are registered for the appropriate courses.

LATE REGISTRATION (Add First Class)
A late registration charge of $50 is assessed for adding the first course on or after the first day of classes or for late adds after the registration period.

PAYMENT OF STUDENT ACCOUNTS
Any student who completes registration agrees to pay the University as follows:

* 2/3 if not assessed on first statement
** All due if not assessed on the first two statements

University charges are due by the date specified on your bill. Due dates are the 10th of each month unless the 10th falls on a weekend or holiday. Mailed payments must reach the University Cashier's Office, 8015 Campus Delivery, by 4:00pm on the due date. Payments by check are processed when received - postmarks do not apply and future dates are not honored. Online payments through the Web Cashier or CASHNet SmartPay must be made by 2:00pm on the due date for the payment to be considered timely. Penalties for late payment include holds on University services and a 1.5% late payment charge of the past due balance. Penalties are initiated for the purpose of encouraging prompt payment.

Student Account Notes
Failure to pay amounts due may result in referral of outstanding balances to a collection agency. These agencies may take legal action to collect pay due balances. Further, the University reserves the right to impose a penalty fee and financial hold for returned checks.

"Billing Information" under the RAMweb tab at www.rampoint.colostate.edu provides more information on billing statement information, accepted payment methods, credit balance refunds, and education tax credit information. Student Account Billing Statements are mailed to your billing address. If a billing address has not yet been created, statements will be mailed to your current mailing address on file with the University. To update your billing or mailing address, log on to www.rampoint.colostate.edu, click on the RAMweb tab and select "Address View/Update".

Please direct questions about your student account to Student Financial Services, http://sfs.colostate.edu, Colorado State University, 1063 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1063, stop in at 103 Administration Annex, or call (970) 491-6321.

SCHEDULE CHANGES
Schedule changes are made on the registration system during authorized periods (see Important Dates).

Courses can be added, sections changed within a course, and credits changed in a variable credit course based on the add periods listed below.

Academic departments may drop students from classes who fail to attend either of the first two class meetings or the first meeting of a class which meets once a week. You are responsible to see that the course is dropped or you will be subject to grades, tuition, and fees for the course.

SHORT-TERM COURSES (less than 16 weeks):
> These courses have the in-session weeks printed under the section.
> Courses taught in less than 16 weeks have proportionately shorter add/drop periods. See below for schedule periods.

COURSE WITHDRAWAL
The course withdrawal period begins after the schedule change period and closes on the appropriate week depending on the length of the course. A "W" (withdrawal) will be recorded on the academic record.

(1) Tuition and fee adjustments processed through schedule change period.
(2) Day of Term refers to weekdays of the term during which the course is offered regardless of whether the course meets every day of the term.

REPEAT/DELETE
It is the student’s responsibility to request the repeat/delete option before the course withdrawal period ends.

FEE ADJUSTMENTS FOR SCHEDULE CHANGES
An adjustment of tuition and fees is allowed during the schedule change period, January 16 - January 31. After this deadline, there is no adjustment in tuition and fees should you drop a course. Courses taught in less than sixteen weeks have proportionately shorter add/drop periods.

STUDENT OPTION PASS/FAIL AND AUDIT GRADING
Selection of pass/fail grading for a student option pass/fail graded course, or selection of audit grading, cannot be accomplished on-line. Register for the course first, complete the Student Option Pass/Fail and Audit Grading Form, obtain the approval signatures, and submit it to the Office of Records and Registration no later than January 31.

The following regulations apply to pass/fail student option courses for the undergraduate student:
> First semester freshmen are not eligible for this option.
> First semester transfer students are not eligible for this option.
> Students with less than a 2.0 cumulative grade point average are not eligible for this option.
> Students may use this option for only one course per semester.
> This option should not be used in a course to fulfill a general or specific requirement within a student's major.
> The above regulations do not apply to EX 100A-P, EX 101B-J, EX 102A-G, EX 106, AND EXCC 123.

CREDIT OVERLOADS
Registration for a credit overload cannot be accomplished on-line. Maximum credit loads are as follows:

Complete the Credit Overload Authority Form and submit to the Office of Records and Registration no later than January 31.

COURSE OVERRIDES
A registration override may be obtained from the instructor of the course or his/her designee in the department. An override may be obtained at any time after registration has begun. It is not necessary for the student to wait for the first day of class. The option to override students into a course is totally at the instructor's discretion. Additionally, some departments may have policies which the instructor must follow. Overrides give a student permission to register for a course regardless of the course restrictions.

WITHDRAWAL FROM UNIVERSITY
University withdrawal (to drop all courses and leave the University) is different from dropping one or more courses. If the first day of the semester has not yet begun, students may cancel their course schedule through RAMweb without any assessment of tuition or fees. Once classes have started January 16, 2007), students who are planning to drop all courses and leave the University for any reason during the term must contact the Center for Advising and Student Achievement (CASA), http://www.casa.colostate.edu/, 202 Aylesworth NE, 970-491-7095 prior to their departure to complete the withdrawal process. Unless this procedure is followed, students will receive failing grades in all courses. If students do not attend and do not cancel their courses before the semester begins, they are financially responsible for 25% of assessed tuition and fees.

Adjustments of Tuition and Fees Will Be Made According to the Following Schedule (1):

GRADES
Colorado State University does not mail printed grade reports to students. You may access RAMweb to obtain this information. Grades are usually available by the fourth working day after finals week.

ADDRESS CHANGES
It is important to maintain a current mailing address with the University. Registration information, bills, and other important information are sent to this address (an optional billing address is available to send bills to another address). To change your mailing address, access RAMweb. The University also requires that each enrolled student provide an email address. Students may use either the email service of their choice or the free email service the University provides through Holly/Lamar/Simla and some colleges. If you have any questions, please contact the Records and Registration Office in Room 100, Administration Annex or call (970) 491-4860.

STUDENTS’ EDUCATIONAL RECORDS
Students have certain rights concerning their “education records” under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, as amended, 20 U.S. 1232g et.seq. (FERPA).

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE (PRIVATE) INFORMATION
Personally identifiable or private information includes age, date, and place of birth. It also includes grades, personal ID number, Social Security Number, class schedule, residency, and class rank. None of these items may be released without the student's permission.

DIRECTORY (PUBLIC) INFORMATION
Current address and phone, major, class level, dates of attendance, anticipated graduation date and expected award, degrees awarded, and honors awarded are all considered directory (public) information. This information may be released on request unless the student has signed a FERPA Release Form restricting all or some of it.

A student is required to sign this form to withhold public information. It is available at the Records Office, Room 100, Administration Annex. If a student later wants this information released when requested, he/she will need to go to the Records Office, Room 100, Administration Annex, to sign a release.

EVENING EXAMS
Some courses have evening exams. Evening exams must be scheduled on Tuesday or Thursday between 5:00pm and 8:00pm or on Saturday between 8:00am and noon. In most instances, these exams are not held in the same room as your class. Check with your instructor for the room assignment.

ALL-UNIVERSITY COMPOSITION AND MATHEMATICS REQUIREMENTS
All undergraduate students pursuing degrees at Colorado State must complete the all-University composition (three credits) and mathematics (three credits) requirements within the first 60 semester credits passed, including any transferred to the University. Students (except first semester transfer and returning students) who have earned 60 or more Colorado State and transfer semester credits and who have not met this requirement must enroll in a course that will fulfill this requirement in order to have a hold lifted from his/her registration. If a student drops or withdraws from the course or does not earn a passing grade, the grade of record will become an "F". This grade of "F" will be included in the calculation of both the semester GPA and the cumulative GPA as a consequence for not completing the 60 credit completion requirement as defined by this policy. A transfer or returning student will be allowed the initial term of enrollment before this restriction is imposed.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION
Enrolled students may elect to establish credit by examination for many of the courses offered by Colorado State. The Credit by Examination Program provides the student who received college-level preparation outside the university setting an opportunity to acquire college credit for this work. Qualified students are encouraged to take advantage of this program by contacting the University Testing Service, C81 Clark Building, (970) 491-6498.

PHOTO ID CARDS
Students can obtain University ID/RAM card between 7:45 a.m. and 4:45 p.m., Monday through Friday at the University ID/Vending Office in the Lory Student Center, next to Sweet Sinsations.

GUIDE (Gateway to University and Individual Degree Evaluation)
GUIDE is the University's undergraduate automated degree audit/advising support system. It compares a student's completed coursework with AUCC requirements, in order to show the student's status toward completion. Many of the University's major, concentration, minor and interdisciplinary program requirements are tracked in GUIDE as well.

UNIVERSITY INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES PROGRAM
An interdisciplinary studies program is a series of courses focused upon a particular problem or area of concern providing a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Although completion of courses in an interdisciplinary studies program does not lead to a degree, credit earned in these courses can be used in meeting the requirements for a degree. An interdisciplinary studies program includes a core of required courses, with some selectivity, and also a wide choice from supporting courses. Interdisciplinary studies are designated in the catalog to assist you in identifying logically related course work in a broad subject-matter area.

Completion of requirements for an interdisciplinary studies program is noted on your academic record (transcript) but not on the diploma. The minimum number of credits in an undergraduate interdisciplinary studies program is 20. No minimum number of credits is specified at the graduate level.

Programs include: Asian Studies; Biomedical Engineering (undergraduate and graduate); Biotechnology; Community Youth Development (graduate); Conservation Biology; Diversity in Law; Environmental Affairs; Ethnic Studies; Exercise Science and Nutrition (graduate); Food Science/Safety (undergraduate and graduate); Geospatial Science (graduate); Gerontology (undergraduate and graduate); Information Science and Technology; Integrated Resource Management; International Development (undergraduate and graduate); Latin American and Caribbean Studies; Mathematics (graduate); Molecular Biology; Molecular, Cellular, and Integrative Neurosciences (graduate); Political Economy (graduate); Religious Studies; Russian, Eastern, and Central European Studies; Water Resources; Women's Studies (undergraduate and graduate); Youth Program Management and Evaluation (graduate).

COURSE PREREQUISITES
Permission of the instructor for a student to attend a class is implied when the student has met specified prerequisites. All prerequisites may be considered to have been met if a student presents evidence of credit earned in equivalent course or if knowledge equivalent to the prerequisites indicated is demonstrated.

Academic prerequisites notwithstanding, a department may limit the enrollment in a class; classes may be limited to a specified number of students, to students of particular majors, or to students of particular class levels. If the word "ENFORCED" is listed after the prerequisite(s), it indicates registration in this course will be denied if prerequisites have not been met.

CREDITS
Selection of credits during registration is not required unless the course is offered for variable credit.

SECTION
Sections in a multi-section course may be offered in different weeks within the semester. Care in selection of sections is important to prevent time conflicts of courses for the student.

SECTION ID NUMBER
This is a unique number assigned every term to each section of every course. This number is the section identifier in the registration system. Hidden ID numbers (@Dept) indicate sections which have special requirements. Students must contact departments offering these sections for this number.

COURSE FEES
Certain courses carry a special fee that is assessed at the time a student registers for courses. Since the costs are determined annually, course fees may vary from the stated charge in this section. Consult the class schedule for a given term for the latest course fee charges.

All special course fees will be assessed and collected through standard student accounts receivable procedures. No fees should be paid directly to academic departments or individuals.
