A student seeking a degree or credit certificate from California University is considered a matriculated student and must meet the graduation or completion requirements for his or her declared major or program. An individual who enrolls for classes but is not seeking a degree or credit certificate from California University is considered a non-degree student. A non-degree student wishing to matriculate into a degree or credit certificate program must satisfy admission requirements for that program. Registration Procedures Registration for an upcoming semester may be completed during the registration periods identified in the Schedule of Classes published each semester. This publication contains specific information and instructions regarding these registration periods.
Registration includes academic advising, scheduling courses, and payment of tuition and fees.
Prior to scheduling classes, each student should meet with his or her academic advisor to discuss his or her progress and develop a schedule for the upcoming semester. Entering a student s schedule into the university s registration system creates a financial obligation by the student to the university, and students who do not make payment arrangements by the announced due date will have their semester schedules canceled. During the Fall and Spring semesters, full-time students may register for 18 credits without special permission. Students wishing to register for 19 or more credits must obtain written permission from their advisor and the Dean of their college. Only in exceptional circumstances will a student be allowed to register for more than 21 credits.
