Glossary of Academic Terms Course Load: All students are considered as full-time and will be charged as such unless they have the Registrar's approval for part-time status. At the close of the Registration/Schedule Change period — Tuesday, September 2 for Fall Semester 2008 and Tuesday, January 20 for Spring Semester 2009 — the Registrar's Office processes registrations and schedule changes. At the conclusion of this process, students registered for more than 18 credits will be billed an overload charge of $925.00 for each credit over 18. Music lessons, for which an additional fee of $380.00 is billed, are not considered a part of credits over 18. A student must be enrolled for a minimum of 12 credits during a semester to be considered full time. Students are informed of full-time status as a part of the Enrollment Confirmation process. Enrollment Confirmation: To confirm their enrollment and presence at Earlham, students 'check in' on the day preceding the first day of class of each semester. At tables in the Landrum Bolling Center's Richmond Room, the Registrar's Office distributes registration information and confirms each students'; enrollment for the semester. Before students are permitted to confirm enrollment, accounts must be cleared by the published deadline or appropriate arrangements need to be made with Earlham's Accounting Office. Both the Accounting and Financial Aid offices are located in Carpenter Hall. Students are required to confirm their enrollment within 48 hours of the close of Enrollment Confirmation Day. Students risk being automatically dropped from all registered classes and place their financial aid in jeopardy if they do not comply. The Registrar's Office cannot verify the enrollment of any student who has not confirmed his/her enrollment. Enrollment Confirmation dates are: Fall, Tuesday, August 26, 2008 and Spring, Tuesday, January 13, 2009. Students will be asked to show their student I.D. at Enrollment Confirmation in compliance with the FERPA Act. Full-Time Status: A student must be enrolled for a minimum of 12 credits during a semester to be considered full time. There can be no exceptions to this policy. Registration: The process of officially signing up for a semester's coursework. During each semester a pre-registration period is defined. During this time, students work with their academic advisers and the Registrar's Office to plan their schedules for the upcoming semester. WebDB: WebDB is Earlham's own vehicle that allows anyone with access to the Web to view the Earlham course schedule and course descriptions online. Earlham students and their advisers also use WebDB to view student and faculty class schedules, registration lists for courses and student transcripts. A registration tool is also available to Earlham students via WebDB. These last features are accessible only with a valid Earlham password. WebDB offers many features not noted here and students, faculty and administrative offices use it routinely. |
