Attendance at any Institute class is not permitted unless the person is registered for the class.
All students must meet with their academic advisor prior to registering and have the academic advisor sign the registration form. It is the responsibility of each new student admitted to make an appointment with the assigned academic advisor to plan a program prior to registering.
New and returning students should meet with the academic advisor before registering each semester and have the academic advisor sign their registration form. For planning purposes, Fall semester registration for returning students takes place in April of the preceding academic year and Spring semester registration for returning students takes place in November of each year. Any student registering for courses other than as described above are subject to a Late Registration Fee.
Students taking a course-for-credit must register no later than the last day of the published Add/Drop Period each semester. Students whose accounts are not current will not be permitted to register for classes.
Independent Study involves required courses that are taken on an individual basis. It is only allowed rarely, under extraordinary circumstances that prevent a student from enrolling in a course at the regularly scheduled time. To register for Independent Study, a student must first consult with their academic advisor for their approval and guidance in completing the necessary forms.
