•  Registration and course selection is your personal responsibility. Students will receive credit only for those courses in which they are properly registered. Likewise, students must pay for every course for which they register unless they have officially cancelled or dropped the course.
  
• Students are responsible for the applicable information contained in the official campus catalogs.
  
• Students who do not comply with the payment deadline will have their registration cancelled assuming the student does not plan to attend. This may open full classes for students who are planning to attend.
  
• New students (freshmen and transfers) are required to make a $100 down payment before registering.

Undergraduate Students must see their advisor during the advisement period prior to registering. The advisor must release the Advisor Hold before a student can register either on the web or in person. Students cannot register before their registration appointment time, but after that they can register for classes on-line through their E-Hive account or may register in person at the Registrar's office in Old Main Room 139 from 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. each day.    

Graduate Students can register from the first day of early registration through the first day of class and may also register in person at the Registrar's office in Old Main room 139 between 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. each day. Graduate students may also mail their registration to the Graduate Studies Office, McCaskill 102, P.O. Box 2000, Superior, WI 54880-4500. See the Academic Calendar for advisement dates. 

For information on registering through the E-Hive, including step-by-step instructions visit theE-Hive help pages.

You must satisfy any holds (service Indicators) for things such as academic fees, loans owed, fines, parking tickets, etc. before you will be permitted to register. Hold are displayed in your E-Hive account

If you choose to register in person -   you will need to fill out a "Course Request Form

" and bring it to Old Main room 139 for your enitial registration and you will need to complete "Drop/Add Form" available in Main 139 for any changes to your schedule after that. It is best to manage your registration through your E-Hive account

Maximum Credit Load - You will not be able to register for more credits than allowed in the credit load schedule found in the class schedule (see "Academic Policies"). Overloads authorized by your advisor or by petition must be processed in person at the Registrar's office.

Officially Registered - You are a registered student if you have one or more courses at the close of the registration period. As a registered student, you are responsible for payment of all fees and for grades in these courses, unless you officially drop them or withdraw from the University by the appropriate deadlines.

Course Prerequisites - Check the prerequisites of courses to see if you meet the requirements. If you register for a course and do not have the required prerequisites, the instructor may require you to drop the course.

Course Restrictions - Some courses have restrictions which limit registration to students meeting certain criteria. You will need written approvals (for in-person registration) or Permission Number (registering through the E-Hive) if your registration is not accepted for theses courses.

Time Conflicts - If you attempt to register for overlapping courses, you will receive a message about the time conflict. If you are permitted to register for the course with the conflict, you must register through the Registrar's Office.

This depends on when you make this decision not to attend...  

Before the First Day of classes: 

Online: Log into your E-Hive Account and drop all of the classes you have registered for or... In Person - Complete an official "Registration Cancellation" card available in the Registrar's Office, Main 139 and the staff will drop the classes for you 

After classes begin but prior to the official drop date:

It is the responsibility of the student to drop the course they are not going to attend. There is no longer an Administrative Drop Policy in effect. If students do not attend a course and they do not drop the course, they will receive a grade of "XF" which then reverts to an "F" grade.

Students withdrawing from courses after classes begin must complete an "Official Withdrawal Card" which may be obtained in the Registrar's Office. Beginning the third week of classes, if a withdrawal card is turned in to the Registrar's Office before the last day to drop classes as defined in the Academic Calendar, a grade of "W"  will be recorded on the student's record. After the second week of classes, there is no access to self-serve transactions on E-Hive. During the first two weeks of classes, dropping all courses on E-Hive self serve is prohibited by the PeopleSoft program. Students may not withdraw from the semester after final examinations have started.

IMPORTANT! Withdrawal from the University is not official until the completed withdrawal card is on file in the Registrar's Office.

There is no longer an Administrative Drop Policy in effect.  The responsibility lies with 
the student to drop all courses before the first day of classes for all terms. If classes are not dropped before the fist day of classes, the student is required to fill out a Withdraw Form. Please reference the policy.

A drop is the process used when you want to "quit" one or more of your courses but still remain a student. A withdrawal is done when you want to drop all of your courses for the term. You are then no longer considered an enrolled student. Either of these actions have implications for financial aid, health insurance, etc. Please refer to the policy.

Grades (unofficial transcripts) are available through your E-Hive.

Your study schedule is available on your E-Hive Student Center.

Resident credit is earned in courses taught by UW-Superior instructors.  They may be on-campus or on-line courses.  Additionally, some student programs will be counted in resident credits.  These include the study abroad program in Scotland, cross-registration with UMD and CSS and the student exchange program.

Grading deadlines are approximately one week after the end of final examinations. Your grades will start appearing on your E-Hive about 3 working days after the last exam.

You have to give the Registrar's Office permission to release your transcripts. There is a Transcript Request form online or in the Registrar's Office (Old Main 139) that you can fill out. There is an attached fee for this service. The cost for 2008-09 is $8.00 or $12.00 if you want our office to process it immediately.

Probation is basically a warning to you that unless you attain a minimum of a 2.00 GPA in the next term you will be dismissed.  This is even true if your overall GPA is over a 2.00.  The policy gives most students two terms to be dismissed.  So if you have one bad term, a warning is given--probation.   When you are dismissed you cannot enroll in classes with the exception of summer session.

You cannot enroll in classes unless you have been reinstated. There are essentially two ways to be reinstated. 

1. You can attend Summer College and attempt to raise your grade point average so it lifts you off of dismissal.
2. You can petition the Reinstatement Committee for readmission. If there are circumstances that prevented you from maintaining satisfactory progress, your petition may be approved. A caution here: if you are reinstated, you are reinstated on probation and will have to achieve a minimum of a 2.00 GPA or you will be dismissed again. It is important for you to analyze whether or not you are ready to come back to school. We certainly do not want to set you up for another failure by reinstating you if you are not ready.

Under policy, you can elect to take up to 15 credits pass-fail. There are courses that are only pass-fail and courses that you cannot take pass-fail. If the course you are choosing is available for pass-fail, you need to get the Pass-fail Agreement form available on-line or from the Registrar's Office and complete it.

You can petition the Committee to substitute the course that you took for the requirement at UW-S. You need the support of your advisor and the department chair from the discipline of the petitioned course. If approved, your SAM audit will be manipulated to accept the course to fulfill the requirement.

Yes, you can through our sequential credit policy. Some disciplines build sequentially on the necessary knowledge base. In these disciplines, if you take a higher level course successfully, you may gain the credit for the lower courses. This is not an automatic process. You need to contact the chair of the department. Some of the disciplines where this is possible are Spanish, German, mathematics, and physics.

You need to very carefully go over your degree progress report with your advisor to discuss any outstanding requirements. Then, you need to turn in a signed Degree Progress Report to the Registrar's Office. Watch the Academic Calendar for the application deadline for your graduation term. The application is available on your E-Hive site or in the Registrar's Office. The fee is $50. You will need to buy your cap and gown at the bookstore if you are planning on attending the ceremony. (Honor cords are given to candidates graduating with honors at a special ceremony previous to commencement.)

• Log into your E-Hive account. The main Academics page will appear.
• On the Academics page will be the link for "my academics"-- click on this link.
• Another page will appear. On this page will be the "Change Graduation term" field.
• Find you graduation term code by clicking into the spyglass--update and save.

It takes from 4 to 6 weeks for the Registrar's Office to clear the graduates of any particular term. If there is an issue, you will be notified. More often, it is simply because it takes time to post all of the degrees.

Your honors grade point average is determined by including both resident credit work and transfer credit.  The policy was changed a number of years ago so that all students are treated in a fair manner.  We now include all of your undergraduate coursework rather than just the coursework at UW-Superior.

Your records are protected under FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). You have access and you have the right to restrict what is called "directory information." (If you wish to restrict your information, it must file the form to do so by September 15 or your name, address, phone and e-mail will be published in the campus directory.) You can restrict your directory information after that but it will be too late for the yearly printing of the directory.

The people who can access your records are those individuals who, by virtue of their position, have a "need to know." Your advisor has a need to know and so, he/she has access to your information, for example.

You need to contact the Advisement Office in Main 134.

Yes, you can order a replacement diploma by filing out the form. The fee is $25 and it takes about 6 weeks.

Reciprocity is only for those students from Minnesota. Basically, if you have reciprocity you pay approximately the same tuition as attending a Minnesota public university.

Residency for educational purposes is more than just where you are currently living. You have to show that you intend to be a bonafide resident of the State of Wisconsin and that you are not here just to go to school. Contact the Registrar if you feel that you should be considered a resident.

You can update your address through your E-Hive.

Congratulations! Name change requests have to be accompanied by some form of documentation--marriage license, driver's license, etc. The form is available in the Registrar's Office oronline.
