Information regarding course offerings and registration is mailed to all students prior to the registration period. Incoming Freshmen Information on new student orientation is mailed to incoming freshmen by the Office of Academic Support and Information Services. Orientation provides for academic advisement and course registration as well as an introduction to campus life. Nondegree Students New and returning nondegree students may register during the late registration period. Those interested in taking undergraduate courses are advised to contact the Office of Academic Support and Information Services.
Some departments conduct an early registration for their courses.
This procedure is usually restricted to department majors and allows students to enroll before the registration period. Students should check with the departments in which they wish to take courses. Any adjustment in a student's schedule may be made through the automated telephone registration system. Courses may be added at any time during the first two weeks of classes and may be dropped without a grading penalty up to mid-semester. Inter-Institutional Agreements Providence College Students registered at Rhode Island College may take courses at Providence College, if the courses are not offered at Rhode Island College.
