REGISTERING FOR COURSES AT SOUTHWEST – REGISTRATION PERIODS

Southwest Tennessee Community College has three registration periods:

Early Registration – During this period students have first choice of class sections offered. Usually students are able to enroll in the more popular courses that usually close early, enroll in courses at times compatible with their work schedules or enroll in classes back-to-back to have more time available for other activities. The most important thing to remember about early registration is that the fees must be paid by the published deadline date, or the registration will be deleted and the student must register again. The class schedule may change when the student re-registers because some classes may already have the maximum number of students allowable.

Regular Registration – This period occurs after early registration and before classes begin. Fees during regular registration are due at the time the student enrolls in courses. Students who have not paid fees by the end of regular registration may be purged from their classes and they may re-register for classes during the late registration period. Students who register during this period sometimes find it difficult to enroll in classes at times most convenient because they are already filled with students who register early.

Late Registration – This period occurs just prior to and during the first days of classes. A limited number of courses is available for scheduling. Students are responsible for making up any class work missed due to registering and starting attendance in class late. In addition to the College’s normal fees and tuition, a student who registers late must pay a late fee of $10. All fees are due at the time of registration. Students must check the College’s Academic Calendar for registration dates. If extenuating circumstances warrant the registration of a student after the last day of the late registration period, approval of the Dean of Student Services and Enrollment Management is required.
