Registration

Advance registration periods for continuing graduate and undergraduate students are posted on the Registrar’s Web page at www.marymount.edu/registrar. Each undergraduate student is required to register at the time and in the manner designated by the registrar after developing a schedule with the academic advisor. The student is expected to seek the academic guidance of a faculty advisor and dean of the School in which the major is offered. No credit will be granted for any course, including independent study, unless registration is completed within the prescribed time at the start of a semester. Responsibility rests with the student to register for the necessary courses in the proper sequence to meet the requirements of the chosen curriculum.

All prescribed charges for the previous semester must be paid before registration may begin. All charges for the ensuing semester must be paid or provided for before registration is complete. No student whose account is in arrears will be permitted to register until all obligations are met. This includes submission of medical records and payment of parking fees.

Late Registration

After the Late Registration class add/withdrawal period has ended, students may register for courses only with written permission of the instructor and the program chair or School dean.

Adding or Withdrawing from Courses

Students can add or withdraw from courses online or in person up to the last day specified in the Academic Calendar. Students who stop attending courses without officially withdrawing from the course or separating from the University will receive an F. Any tuition refund will be calculated from the withdrawal/separation date recorded by the Registrar’s Office. For information on procedures for separating from the University.

Continuous Registration

Candidates for a degree must maintain continuous registration until all degree requirements are satisfied. By failing to register for one semester or more (not including summer semester), a student breaks registration and must reapply. Continuous registration may be maintained for a maximum of two consecutive semesters, not including the summer semester.

A nondegree student who breaks registration for one semester or more must reapply for admission to the University.

Any student wishing to maintain continuous registration in absentia will be charged a fee of $30 per semester payable at regularly scheduled registration dates. Continuous registration requires the student’s signature and may be provided via the U.S. mail or by fax.

All undergraduate and graduate degree-seeking students in good academic standing are eligible to enroll in courses offered through the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area. Nondegree students are not eligible.
