3.3 HOW AND WHEN TO REGISTER

3.3.1 REGISTRATION AVAILABILITY

Registration in faculty and college offices and the Registrar's Office is conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless otherwise posted.

Online (self-service) registration begins at 9:00 a.m. each day and is closed only for regular system updates and maintenance.

Students are not permitted to be registered in any classes in advance of their time-ticket.

Fax and email requests for registration are also accepted by most faculties and colleges, as are telephone requests. Fax and email requests must include the student identification number and full details of all courses that are being requested. Mailed and faxed requests must be signed. Registration operators will request identifying information from students who register or change their registration by telephone.

Students are responsible for the correctness of their registration and must review their academic record on UR Self-Service for any registration activity made on their behalf (see §5.1).

3.3.2 DATES OF REGISTRATION

Registration begins on; March 8, 2011 for 2011 Spring/Summer and 2011 Fall and on November 1, 2011 for 2012 Winter.

Once registration has opened, it remains open until the deadline to add or change courses, which falls at the end of the first five days of classes in most Fall and Winter courses. For more detail, see §1.2.

Students registering for audit do so on the last business day before the start of classes.

3.3.3 REGISTRATION TIME-TICKET

Students register according to a priority system in which those who have earned the most credit hours register first. Transfer credit hours (which must already be granted by the Faculty and entered in the system) and credit hours in progress are included in the counts, which are not rounded.

Registration time-tickets are visible to students online in UR Self-Service ( www.uregina.ca/compserv/postcard/) approximately one month prior to the start of registration. Information on time-ticket assignment will be posted as soon as it is available.

Students are not permitted to register or be registered by their Faculty or College before their assigned time-ticket.

3.3.4 MAKING CHANGES TO REGISTRATION

Registration changes are made in the same way as the initial registration. Students are encouraged to make changes to their registration online up to the deadline for withdrawing from a course without a failing grade.

The University does not accept or recognize changes to registration made by telephone. If online changes are not possible for students, students may make changes to their registration in their Faculty or College office, or they may mail, fax or email registration requests (students should check with their Faculty or College office for which methods they will accept). Please note that mailed, faxed or emailed requests must clearly indicate the student’s full name, student identification number, major, and which courses are to be added or dropped. Mailed or faxed requests must be signed. Students must confirm their changes by viewing their courses on UR Self-Service

For changes made online, the effective date and time is when UR Self-Service processes the changes. When a request is received by mail, fax or email, the effective date is the date of receipt in the faculty or college office, and not the date on the letter or form or the date of the postmark or the date the email was sent.

No courses may be added after the deadline to add or change courses or sections (see §1.2) without the written permission of the instructor of the course and the Dean or designate of the student's faculty. Such permission is not automatic and will be given only in exceptional circumstances. If approved, the registration will be processed by the faculty or college office.

After the start of the term (semester), students who are dropping courses may receive a grade of W (withdrawal) or NP (failure), and may receive no refund or only a partial refund of tuition and fees, depending on the date of the drop. See §1.2 for the schedule of automatic fee refunds and assignment of grades in the majority of this year's courses, and §4.13 for an explanation of additional adjustments that may be applied for.

Students may drop class(es) online up to the deadline for withdrawing from a course without a failing grade. Changes after the deadline, must be made in their Faculty or College office, or students may mail, fax or email registration requests (students should check with their Faculty or College office for which methods they will accept). Please note that mailed, faxed or emailed requests must clearly indicate the student’s full name, student identification number, major, and which courses are to be added or dropped. Mailed or faxed requests must be signed.
