Registration and Advising Information
For information on specific registration dates, please refer to the
Academic Calendar.
New and Returning Students
You are a returning student if you were enrolled at Wor-Wic before, but not in the spring of 2012. Before
registering for classes, you must contact the admissions office to request that your records be re-activated,
and updated if necessary. You must also provide official copies of transcripts for transfer evaluation if you
attended another college or university in the interim.
You are a new student if you were never enrolled in a credit class at Wor-Wic before. Before
registering for classes, you must complete an Admission Application form,
take any necessary diagnostic assessments and provide official copies of transcripts for transfer
evaluation. If you are a new transfer student attending Wor-Wic, you must meet with the associate
registrar or your assigned faculty advisor to register for classes.
Students who are attending college for the first time are required to participate
in a mandatory Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) session to register for
classes. You can register for a SOAR session online. An advisor will be
assigned to you that you can meet with during the academic semester or session. The advisor’s
office hours and phone number will be sent to you. You are strongly encouraged to contact
your assigned advisor and establish an ongoing advisement relationship.
Academic Advisement
For information on advisors by department, please refer to the
Credit Class Schedule Directory. All students are assigned an academic advisor to help them
work out a program of study that best meets their needs. Individual assistance is available to all students
in the planning of their class schedules to ensure that the courses they select match their career goals.
All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor to develop an academic plan. Advisors
also meet with their advisees periodically to ensure continued student progress. It is the student's
responsibility to know and follow the requirements for his or her program of study.
Online Credit Registration
Registration is available online through the student
portal. Students are encouraged to meet with their advisor prior to online registration
to discuss their educational and career plan. There are, however, restrictions of who can and can not
register online.

Dropping and Adding Courses
A student who wants to drop or add a course after he or she registers must drop
or add the course online. If the student is not eligible for online registration,
he or she must meet with an advisor. Drop and add dates for full semester/ session
classes that begin and end according to the regular
Academic Calendar are listed in the
class schedule publication for each semester. Drop and add dates for classes that
begin and end at other times are provided to students through the registrar's office.
Courses that are dropped are not recorded on a student’s transcript.
Dropping a course does not necessarily eliminate the student’s financial obligations
to the college. Depending on the date the course is dropped, the student could be
eligible for a refund. Students who are receiving financial aid should be aware
that dropping a course could affect the amount of their award.
Withdrawal
After the drop period ends, a student can withdraw from a course online. If the
student is not eligible for online registration, he or she must meet with an advisor.
Withdrawal dates for full semester/session classes that begin and end according
to the regular
Academic Calendar are listed in the
class schedule publication for each semester. Withdrawal dates for classes that
begin and end at other times are provided to students through the registrar's office. A
“W” is recorded on the transcript of a student who has officially withdrawn from
a course.
Withdrawing from a course does not eliminate the student’s financial obligations to the college. Students
who are receiving financial aid should be aware that withdrawing from a course could affect the amount
of their award and jeopardize their eligibility for financial aid in the future.
