Although faculty provide coursework, the Office of the Registrar maintains information about it and records registration activity. The course inventory describes coursework offered. Descriptions are developed by the academic units. The Schedule of Classes provides specific section information about faculty assignment, meeting times and places, credit potential, prerequisite coursework, seat availability, enrollment restrictions, etc. In order to attend class and receive credit and an evaluation of accomplishment for coursework students must register for specific sections of courses.
Students register in sections for specific credit amounts.
The registration activity will also assess student fees and check eligibility for financial aid. The Office of the Registrar maintains information about this activity. There are a variety of reasons, from many departments, for which a student may be prevented from registering for coursework. The Office of the Registrar maintains such checklist information. In addition to current semester enrollment information, the Office of the Registrar maintains a history of student accomplishments normally associated with a transcript report.
