It will re-open for all students to adjust their schedules on Tuesday 7 August. WebAdvisor will remain open for course adds and drops until the start of the Fall 2018 semester, after which time students will need to use Add Cards to add courses. Student may continue to add (via card) and drop (via WebAdvisor) courses until the add/drop deadline, Monday 10 September. Please contact the Office of the Registrar with question, 814-332-2357 or registrar@allegheny.edu.

New:

A new course, Physics 121, Foundations of Astronomy, has added to the Fall 2018 schedule. Taught by Professor Lombardi, this course will be offered MWF 9:00-9:50 am.

This course is described as “A study of the Earth and heavenly bodies, their observed characteristics and motions, and the theories that account for them. The course is designed to give students an understanding of the tools and fundamental physical concepts of astronomy. Topics covered include celestial timekeeping, gravity, orbits, light, the birth and evolution of stars, black holes and other compact objects, dark matter, dark energy, and the big bang theory. Use is made of the Wible Planetarium and the Newton Observatory telescopes. Students must participate in an evening observing session at some point during the semester. Corequisite: MATH*157, MATH*159, or equivalent (placement into MATH 160 is sufficient). NOTE: Students may receive credit for only one course from among PHYS*020, PHYS*121, and PHYS*129. Distribution Requirements; QR, SP.”

For students who matriculated in Spring 2016 or before and who are subject to the Divisional Distribution requirements, this course does NOT fulfill the Natural Science lab requirement.

Effective May 8, transcript requests cannot be processed until spring semester grades are posted. This applies to ALL requests — from current students, pending graduates, and alumni.

If you have a deadline date before or near May 8, 2018, we recommend that you request your transcript(s) prior to May 8; otherwise it will be held until May 15, 2018. Students wishing to have spring semester grades should indicate “Hold for Current Semester Grades” when ordering. If you do not, you may need to order a second transcript. We anticipate that these transcripts will be processed and forwarded on May 15.

Seniors graduating in May 2018 should select “Hold for Current Semester Grades & Degree Posted” to make sure their degree is listed on the transcript. If you do not, you may need to order a second transcript. We anticipate that these transcripts will be processed and forwarded on May 15.

Students who are facing academic suspension or dismissal will have their transcripts held until after the process concludes, on or around May 24.

Students who are not graduating seniors may continue to order transcripts as usual, but should be aware that delivery will be delayed during this period. Please plan ahead!!

Questions or concerns? Please contact the Office of the Registrar at 814-332-2357 or registrar@allegheny.edu.

Pre-registration for Fall 2018 continues!!

• courses that are full
• courses that have restrictions you do not meet (e.g., FR/SO only)
• courses that require the instructor’s signature (in “Search for Sections” in WebAdvisor, these courses are designated “Yes” in the “Sign Req” column).

Please note that an Add card does not override a general registration hold (e.g., no advisor approval or a financial hold).

After May 1, students may continue to add unrestricted courses that have open seats online, and also drop any course online. WebAdvisor will remain open for these course adjustments until June 29.

Students may register for up to 18 credits at this time. Continuing students wishing to register for 19 or more credits may do so after First-Year Course Registration ends in early August. At that point students may register for up to 20 credits with no special permission. Once the Fall semester starts in August, students may register for up to 21 credits with the permission of their advisor, and 22 credits and above with the permission of their advisor and the registrar. Overload forms will be available at the beginning of the Fall 2018 semester in August. Credit/No Credit cards will be available at the same time.

Please contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@allegheny.edu if you encounter any problems registering for Fall classes.

You can go to the Course Information page to get specific information about Fall 2018 courses.

Make sure to consult with your academic advisor(s) before your scheduled registration time to receive permission to register – you will not be permitted to register for any classes without your advisor’s approval (double majors: both advisors must approve you to register).

If you have previously been informed that you must declare a major and minor this semester, you must also have submitted your declaration form to be able to register.

Advising updates for students interested in the sequencing of courses for Biochemistry, Chemistry, or Mathematics.

The specific sequencing of courses is very important in many departments, especially those in the STEM fields. Please see here for some specific advising updates pertaining to Fall 2018.

‘X’ Deadline: The last day to opt for a student-initiated withdrawal from a course (“X“) is Monday 26 March.

Forms for withdrawals are available in the Registrar’s Office and require the signatures of the instructor and your academic advisor. The completed forms must be turned in to the Registrar’s Office by 5 p.m. on Monday 26 March. Please keep in mind that only one student-initiated withdrawal per student is permitted per semester. If you wish to take a leave of absence from the College (i.e., to withdraw from all classes this semester), please contact the Dean of Students Office.

If taking a student-initiated withdrawal will leave you with fewer than 12 credits for the semester, you are strongly encouraged to consult with Financial Aid and Financial Services before you submit the card.
