Degree Seeking and Certificate Students
Students can register in person by completing the
Registration form for Degree-Seeking and Certificate Students and returning the completed form to the Office of the Registrar (440 Armour) during the registration period. Distance students can fax the form to the Office of the Registrar provided that the student's and advisor's signatures are on the form. A Student Data Sheet (SDS) will be e-mailed to you. This is a confirmation of registration as well as the first bill.
Students-at-Large
Students not admitted to a degree granting or certificate program at Rush may take courses under certain conditions. Please use the appropriate Student-at-Large Registration form (Nursing or Health Sciences/Graduate College) available on-line or through the Office of the Registrar and follow the instructions on the form.
1. All students must obtain their advisor's signature. Registration for more than 16 credits for graduate nursing and Ph.D. students or 17 credits for all other students requires written permission from the program director.
2. If a course requires the instructor's written approval (IWA on the schedule) the signature must be on the registration form.
3. Undergraduates who register for graduate level courses numbered 500-599 must obtain the course director's signature. Matriculated graduate students have priority in these courses.
4. All graduate nursing students registering for NUR 503, NUR 541, NUR 591 and NUR 600 must complete a Health & Safety form and attach it to their registration form.
Class spaces are limited in some courses. The following policy governs priorities in registration:
1. Continuing full-time and part-time students admitted to degree and certificate programs that register during the specified registration periods on a first-come/first-served basis.
2. New full-time and part-time students admitted to degree or certificate programs that register during the specified registration periods on a first-come/first-served basis. Admission must be effective for the quarter in which the student registers.
3. Late registration and changes of registration on a first-come/first served basis.
4. Students-at-large may turn in their registration forms at the beginning of registration until the first day of classes. They will be registered on a first-come/first-served basis no later than the last business day before classes begin.
5. Any special arrangements with off-campus institutions govern registration priorities. In the event a student is unable to register for a course required to graduate on schedule, the student may petition the dean to increase the class size to accommodate that student's registration.
Any course may require the use of a personal computer. Almost all courses offered by nursing faculty will have a computer component (WebCT) and possible access through the Internet. Many courses offered by other departments may also have this requirement. Students without access to an off campus computer may use a computer in the McCormick Educational Technology Center (METC), 919 Armour. Access to the METC is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by swiping the Rush student ID.
1. Pass/No Pass Option
(Week One Only) The Timetable indicates all courses that may be taken pass/no pass. To take a course pass/no pass, simply indicate P-N in the P-N column on the registration form. Note: all programs have required courses that must be taken for letter grade. All students should check with their program before registering for a course for a pass/no pass grade.
A student may take a course pass/no pass after having initially registered by completing the pass/no pass form available in the Office of the Registrar. Note the form requires the signature of the instructor and advisor. The same form may be used to revert to the letter grade option.
2. Independent Study
To register for an independent study, complete the back of the registration form and the Independent Study form. The registration form must be returned to the Office of the Registrar during the registration period. It identifies the title of the independent study, the preceptor's name and the number of credits for the study. The second form is the independent study contract. It lists the objectives of the study, a plan to meet the objectives, etc. It should be completed and approved by the preceptor, department chairperson and the program director no later than the first class day of that quarter.
1. Timetable
Timetable changes including updates to meeting times, instructors, classrooms, and added/closed/canceled courses will be posted on the bulletin board on the 9th floor of Armour Academic Center. A copy of the changes will also be located in the Office of the Registrar, on the bulletin board outside 440 Armour, and in the Timetable.
2. Withdrawal From School
Students withdrawing from the university (dropping all classes) or going on an approved leave of absence are required to complete a "Withdrawal/Leave of Absence Petition-Clearance" form available on-line (Nursing or Health Sciences/Graduate College/Medical College) or from the Office of the Registrar.
3. Adding/Dropping Courses
Changes in registration must be made with the Add/Drop form. The effective date of the Add/Drop is the date the form is received by the Office of the Registrar. A course dropped during the first week of the quarter will not appear on the student's transcript. After that point, one of the following policies apply:
Course Dropped in Weeks 2 - 5: Grade of W Course
Dropped in Weeks 6-end: Grade of WP, WF, WN
The last day to add a course for the Spring 2008 quarter is April 7, 2008.
Most programs require continuous enrollment until graduation. Students
who fail to register for one quarter will be administratively withdrawn
by the Office of the Registrar. Contact the Office of the Registrar prior
to any interruption of course studies.
Courses less than 10 weeks
may not follow the posted refund/drop schedules. Check with the Office of the Registrar for specific drop/refund information.
