So You Failed
To Register

Whnt should a student do to
get bis grade recorded if he has
failed to register for the course ?
Registrar C. L. Constance ex
plained that, first of all, Univer
sity rules allow the first two
weeks of each term to officially
add or change courses. Merely at
tending class does not constitute
registration; the registrar's rec
ords are the official ones.
If a student discovers after the
first two weeks that he has not
registered for a course (usually
because he has failed to complete
the changing process when add
ing!, he may petition the Aca
demic Requirements Committee
to have it added. The committee
Is composed of faculty members
appointed by the University pres
ident and approved by the Advis
ory Council.
The committee’s decision is
based on an evaluation of facts
from the student, his advisor,
and tire instructor. They partic
ularly want to know why the
student did not register in the
specified time.
Jf the student has been misad
vised by someone on the staff,
the committee Is much more
likely to approve registration
than if it is through the student's
own negligence. However, they
are always looking for evidence
of good faith.
"The committee has to strike
a balance between strict compli
ance with the rules and the be
lief that the record** should show
the exact facts of the courses at
tended and grades earned," Con
stance stated.
The feeling is If a student is
in a course and has done the
work, he should receive credit.
However, the student has an ob
ligation to register correctly.
•'Hiere's one faculty point of
view that a student's registra
tion is a contract with the Uni
versity.’’ Constance explained,
"and of course no contract can
cover something that is not writ
ten in it. Under this view, no
changes would be permitted.”
Although the committee does
not usually take such a severe
stand, they do deny a consider
able pioportion of the requests
because the only explanation is
carelessness. Not more than 50
petitions are filed a year.
When the registrar's office re
ceives a grade but discovers that
the student has not registered
for the course, the student is
called and requested to petition
the committee.
Strict rules must be enforced
to prevent students from attend
ing classes and then registering
for only the ones in which they
earned good grades.
