Examples of such documentation are a marriage certificate, birth certificate, or court order for legal name change. Any change of address should be reported immediately to the Registrar's Office. In addition to the regular registration period, WNMU offers continuing students an opportunity to advance register at an earlier date to allow time for effective use of academic advising services and to permit access to classes which fill up early in the regular registration period. Advance registration for the fall semester typically begins in late March, and for the spring semester in late October. All undergraduate students are required to declare a major no later than the semester in which they complete 48 credit hours.
Continued enrollment is contingent upon the declaration of a major.
Students who wish to declare a major in a program that has a formal admission process such as Nursing, Occupational Therapy Assistant, Education or Social Work must be admitted to the program before declaring it as a major. Permits to schedule classes may be obtained in the Academic Support Center for these students. Any student registering for seven hours or more during the fall or spring semester or four or more hours during a summer session must have their advisor sign their permit to schedule classes before registering at the Registrar's Office. Although a student may register during the first two weeks of classes, the student is advised that classes may be closed and a full schedule may be difficult to obtain. A student is expected to make up work in the missed classes.
