Registration of Courses
- Meet with your advisor several weeks in advance of registration to determine the best list of courses to take. If you are a freshman, see the TAPS advisor, Mr. Reginald Joseph, also in FAH 120. All other undergraduate students should meet with Dr. Hayden. Graduate students should meet with their advisor, as posted on Dr. Williams' Graduate Advising webpage: http://dwilliams.arts.usf.edu/advising.html.
- Complete this form and return it to the advisor for processing: Music Registration Form. Please place it on his office door or send it to him as an email attachment. You will be registered for the courses unless you specify that you only want departmental permission (a permit) to register for the course(s).
- A Directed Study requires completion by the instructor of this form: Directed Study Contract. Be sure to send this electronic form to your instructor for completion and signature.
- Check your Oasis account and be sure to settle all issues to avoid cancellation of courses. If you have any holds, go to those offices to have them removed. Neither you or the advisor can register you for courses if there are any holds on your account.
- Register for at least one course (any course) before the first week of classes to avoid a LATE REGISTRATION FEE of $100. You can always drop and add courses during the first week of classes without any financial penalties.
- Remember to comply with your student status requirements for financial aid or insurance. Full-time status is 12 credit hours for undergraduates and 9 credit hours for graduate students, but some financial aid packages require more. If you are not sure how many hours you need to have, check with the Financial Aid Office.
Late Registration*
Undergraduate Students
Once the first week of classes is over, the registration books are closed and sealed. The only way you can add a course is through an ARC (Academic Regulations Committee) Petition, available and processed through the Advising Office in FAH 120. If you are adding a course, be sure to attach an Instructor's Late Add form to the petition. Return all completed forms to Mrs. Carol Kerrigan, Coordinator of Student Services and Advising.
If you need to exchange a course for another course of equal credit, complete the ARC Petition with both Instructor Late Drop and Instructor Late Add forms attached.
If a course was registered as the result of misadvice on the part of the advisor or an instructor, you should complete an ARC form with an Instructor Late Drop form confirming that the registration was an administrative error. Specify on the ARC form under "Other" that you wish for the course to be DELETED from your transcript. Once the course is removed from you registration, you will no longer be fee-liable for it, and you can process a Fee Refund form in the Registrar's Office.
Graduate Students
Graduate students must use either a Graduate School Petition for late registration or a Delete Course Form, both of which are available on the Graduate School website: http://www.grad.usf.edu/newsite/forms/grad_forms.asp Once the form is completed, it should be submitted to Dr. David Williams in FAH 136 for processing.
