Registration for Fall 2020 Module B Courses

By October 6th 2020

Registration for Fall 2020 Module B (seven-week) courses is now open via Self-Service. If you do not need to add a Module B course, then you can ignore this message.  You will need advisor approval and you may need to re-confirm your personal information (this needs to happen roughly once per semester). Before the first day of Module B courses, Thursday 15 October, you will be able to register for eligible classes on Self-Service as you have done before. If the course needs a faculty signature, you should reach out directly to the instructor. Starting Thursday 15 October and going to the add/drop deadline for Module B, Thursday 29 October, all course adds will need faculty authorization. Again, please reach out directly to the instructor to get their “add authorization.”

Fall Registration Update (mid September 2020)

By September 10th 2020

Add/Drop/CR-NC Deadline is Monday 14 September at 4:00 pm

Monday, September 14 at 4:00 p.m. is the deadline to add a class, drop a class, or declare a course Credit/No Credit for the Fall semester. All adds and drops must be completed on Self-Service by this time. All course conflict forms must be completed by that time. All CR/NC requests must be completed by that time.

Seniors: Check your Senior Project Registration!!

Please see here for directions on how to register for a “double” senior project. If a student is writing a combined comp, they need to make sure their registration is for “DOUBL HIST/MATH 600″ or “DOUBL CMPSC/COMM 610,” as the case may be. If a student is writing two separate comps, this does not apply; they will need to register as per the rules of their two majors.

If you are facing a situation where your major departments have different registration requirements for senior projects, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR ADVISORS BEFORE YOU REGISTER!! So, for example, one program requires a two semester comp and the other doesn’t; or one program requires a 2 credit 600 and the other a 4 credit 600. If you are uncertain, you can find that information in the Academic Bulletin for the year you first came to Allegheny.

Transcript Freeze — May 8 through May 18

By April 29th 2020

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, 2020, we recommend that you request your transcript(s) prior to May 8; otherwise it will be held until May 18, 2020. 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 18.

Seniors graduating in May 2020 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 18.

Students who are facing academic suspension or dismissal will have their transcripts held until after the process concludes, on or around May 26.

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.
