Registration:
UNC registration can be handled by Web registration. Students receive a registration notice by mail from the Registrar’s Office which provides dates and instructions on when and how to register. All graduate students are strongly urged to register during the early registration period set by the University. Each student taking an exam or holding a University fellowship of any sort, teaching fellowship, or research assistantship, must be fully registered in order to hold that award. Unless the award requires presence at another campus or at a research center, this registration must be as a student "in residence."
Full-time registration can be achieved in one of the following ways: 1) Registering for 9 or more hours. 2) Registering for 3 hours of ENGL 392, 393 or 394 with or without credit hours for other courses. 3) When teaching, registering for 6 credit hours of course work and completing a Waiver of Hours Form. The Graduate School requires that a student register for at least 3 hours in the Fall and Spring semesters.
Students who are receiving tuition remission/in-state tuition awards are responsible for dropping any unwanted classes by the last day to drop a course for financial credit. Remember: Students who drop after this date are responsible for paying for the dropped class(es).
Occasionally students do not register for classes during a given semester. Any time students do not register, they must apply for readmission.
Auditing of courses is permitted but discouraged. A student who wishes to audit a course should do so only with the professor's consent. Seminars may not be audited.
