Registrar

Students are permitted to take classes that have limited overlaps in time with the permission of faculty and if they complete the form below. They will not be able to enroll in courses with time conflicts via WebAdvisor.

Course Conflict Form

We need information on a student’s overlapping enrollment so that we can ensure all parties are fully informed and so that we have a record of the overlap for the purposes of satisfying requests from financial aid auditors and accreditation agencies.

Students needing to verify their Fall 2019 enrollment for insurance or other purposes should ​go through the National Student Clearinghouse (https://enrollmentverify.org/), which processes enrollment verification requests for Allegheny College. ​We will provide information regarding Fall enrollment to the National Student Clearinghouse on September 16. If you need an enrollment verification prior to that date, please contact us directly at registrar@allegheny.edu.

Pre-registration for Fall 2019 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 April 30, 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 28.

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 2019 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.

Effective May 7, 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, 2019, we recommend that you request your transcript(s) prior to May 8; otherwise it will be held until May 15, 2019. 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 2019 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 23.

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!!
