University Rules

1. Registration procedures.

   Matriculated students shall apply and be formally admitted to a college prior to registration. Non-matriculated students may apply and be admitted at the time of registration. A student's registration shall be completed when the application for admission has been approved, registration forms have been completed properly and returned to the registrar's office, and student fees have been paid. Instructions concerning registration for each quarter shall be published as far in advance as is practical. Students shall be encouraged to complete their registration at the earliest opportunity.
   
   

2. Enrollment.

   A student shall be enrolled when the student's registration has been completed and the financial obligations set forth in these rules have been satisfied. Students who are enrolled shall be eligible to use university academic and recreational facilities and resources including, but not limited to, university libraries, computer laboratories, recreational facilities and student services. Students shall be subject to the rules and regulations for use of equipment, facilities, and services. Students who are enrolled shall be eligible for independent study assignments, student teaching assignments, clinical internships, practicum appointments, etc., beginning no earlier than thirty days prior to the first day of classes.
   
   

3. Delinquent obligations.

   Students shall be responsible for discharging all their university financial obligations, such as payment of deferred fees, housing fees, tuition, laboratory fees, matriculation fees or delinquent obligations. Students who are delinquent in paying charges accrued in a previous quarter may be denied the right to register in classes for future courses and to receive transcripts, grades, or diplomas until such fees are paid in full.
