Continuing and re-entry students may register in advance for the next session’s classes during the weeks designated by the university. Registration information and the schedule of classes are available in late March for the summer sessions and fall semester and in late October for the winter semester.
Registration information for continuing students is sent to their NMU e-mail address. Re-entry students should contact the College of Graduate Studies at 906-227-2300 for information. Students who pre-register for classes and decide not to return to NMU are expected to call the Student Service Center at 906-227-1221 to cancel their registration.
Changing Class Schedule (Add/Drop)
During the first week of classes in the fall and winter semesters, students may add full-semester classes through the fourth day, provided seats are still available. Full-semester classes may be dropped through 5 p.m. of the ninth calendar day of the semester; no grade will be recorded on a student’s transcript for courses dropped during this period. The add/drop period varies for classes meeting less than the full semester and during the summer session, depending on the length of the course. See “Tuition and Fees” section of this bulletin for refund information for fall and winter semesters. Refer to the summer schedule for specific add/drop information.
Dropping a Class After the Add/Drop Period
Students dropping a full-semester class after the official add/drop period through the 15th week (i.e., the Friday before the start of the examination period) in the fall and winter semesters will be issued a “W” grade. Dates for withdrawing from a course not meeting for a full semester or for summer session courses will be prorated. These dates are published by the Registrar’s Office at the beginning of each registration period. With documentation of the extenuating circumstances preventing a student from meeting the withdrawal deadline, exceptions to this policy may be made with the written approval of the Dean of Students Office. See Tuition and Fees section of this bulletin for refund information.
Withdrawal for Non-Attendance
At the discretion of individual departments and/or instructors, students who have not attended through the first four days of the semester (or its equivalent) of a class and who have failed to contact the instructor may be dropped from the class roster. Since this is an optional action on the part of departments, students who wish to drop a class should do so themselves.
Complete Withdrawal from the University
Students who decide to leave the university without finishing the semester for which they are currently enrolled must complete a Notice of Withdrawal form at the Dean of Students Office. Following the proper withdrawal procedures ensures (1) that the maximum allowable proportion of fees due the student will be refunded, (2) that the appropriate grades will be recorded on the student’s transcript, and (3) that the individual’s records will be properly maintained in the event of future enrollment at NMU or transfer to another university or college.
Students who withdraw from the university after 5 p.m. of the 10th week of classes will not receive “W” grades. They will receive the grades they earn.
