First-Year Registration

On Tuesday, November 23 at 4:00 p.m., Self-Service will close for registration (however, you will still be able to view your courses, transcripts, etc.).

On Monday, November 29, Self-Service will reopen for first-year students ONLY (registration class “FR”). FR students will be able to register during the week of November 29 according to the posted Registration Schedule. Other students, including Fall 2021 matriculants registering as sophomores, must wait until after the first-year students register to make any other changes to their schedules.

Please contact the Registrar’s Office (registrar@allegheny.edu, 814-332-2357) if you have questions about first-year registration for Spring.

All-College Change Period (Add/Drop)

On Monday, December 6, Self-Service will be temporarily closed while we make final adjustments to the Spring schedule. You will still be able to log on to see your schedule.

Self-Service will re-open on Tuesday, December 7.

Students may register for up to 20 credits at that time. Starting in January, students will be able to register for an “overload” (21 credits or more). The semester overload form will be available at the beginning of the Spring 2022 semester in January.

If you are unable to register and you know that your advisor has approved you, you may have some sort of billing hold. You can review your balance through the TMS Student Account Center link on your WebAdvisor or by calling Financial Services at 332-2360.

You can continue to add unrestricted courses that have open seats online, and you can also drop any course online.

Please contact the Registrar’s Office (registrar@allegheny.edu, 814-332-2357) if you have questions about registering for Spring.

Overloads for Spring 2022

Due to the unique circumstances of Spring 2022, there will be TWO overload processes.

1. Students who wish to take more than four credits in Module 1 will be able to apply for an overload in that Module beginning on Monday, December 6. Attempting to take eight credits during Spring 2022 Module 1 means committing to a very high workload. It means six hours of class time per day, five days a week, plus time for homework and assignments. That would mean you are committing to a roughly 90 hour academic work week for Module 1. Therefore, Module 1 overload requests will be held to a high standard and not routinely granted.
2. Students who wish to take more than twenty credits for Spring 2022 as a whole will be able to apply for an overload beginning on Monday, January 17. If a Module 1 course is what will put a student over 20 credits they should use the Module 1 overload form as above, but if approved, the course will not be added until January 17. 

Please contact the Registrar’s Office (registrar@allegheny.edu, 814-332-2357) if you have questions about overloads for Spring.

Module B “X” Deadline: The last day for a student-initiated withdrawal from a Module B course (“X”) is Friday, November 12, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. EST. 

If you wish to take an “X” in a Module B course, please email registrar@allegheny.edu to request a link to the form. The completed form must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. EST on Friday, November 12, 2021. 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 form.

Graduates of January and May 2022: Check the tentative graduation list.

The Registrar’s Office will electronically post the tentative January and May graduation lists from Tuesday November 2 through Monday December 6. This list contains all students likely to be able to graduate by the conclusion of the Spring semester. All seniors are responsible for making sure their names are on the tentative list. Please click here to confirm that your name is listed. You will need to be logged in to your Allegheny College email account to view this document, which is visible only to students eligible to graduate and those who may be eligible based on completed credits. If you expect to graduate and cannot access this list, please email registrar@allegheny.edu.

Please be aware that if your privacy category is set to “Release No Information” or “Release No Directory Information,” we are not able to post your name in public. Please email registrar@allegheny.edu to discuss what that means for Commencement. 

Please contact the Registrar’s Office (registrar@allegheny.edu, 814-332-2357) if you have questions about any of these items.

‘X’ Deadline: The last day to opt for a student-initiated withdrawal from a 14-week course (“X“) is Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
