MAC and MATS Course Registration Policy

Registration

Registration for online courses occurs during a week-long period before the term begins. Learn how to register by following the instructions in this Register for Courses article. Course registration is finalized on the last day of that week, and you will be invoiced for tuition shortly after registering for your intended course(s).

Add/Drop Period

During each term, you will have the opportunity to register for your courses during a week long open registration time period. During that week, you can add and drop courses as you prefer. Once closed, you will not have the ability to make changes to your enrollment. 

Tuition Payment

Tuition must be paid in full by the end of the registration period. If you have not paid your tuition or made an approved payment arrangement by the first day of the term, a financial lock will be placed on your account, and you may be removed from your registered course(s).

Credit Hour Assignment

Online courses are 10 weeks in duration and include an exam period. The amount of total required hours of student work per credit for online courses is equivalent to residential courses.

Matriculation

Matriculation into a program occurs on the first day of classes of your initial term. Matriculation connects you to an academic year and a particular set of degree requirements. If a new student drops all registered courses before the Add/Drop period deadline of the initial term, that student will be considered as not yet matriculated. Students can defer once for up to one year after the original intended matriculation date. 

Auditing

Online courses are not available for audit. Online students are unable to audit residential courses without paying the appropriate auditing fee. 

Independent Study

Independent Study courses are not offered to students in online programs or to Visiting Students.
