Classes
Is it really important for me to meet with my advisor(s)?
Yes! Advisors play a pivotal role in your academic career. Advisors can give experienced advice about choosing courses and a major, provide information about other educational opportunities (such as foreign study, mission trips and internships), and point students in the right direction for a variety of student services.
I need a copy of my degree sheet.
Please email the Registrar’s Office and indicate your name and major.
How do I drop a class after the drop/add date?
You need to visit the Registrar’s Office to complete a form. Additional information will be given once the form is filled out.
What do the W, WP and WF listed on the schedule change form mean?
W = Withdrew; this does not affect your GPA.

Drop/add is a time frame extending from the first day of classes to the second week of classes. During this time, you can add or drop classes without incurring any financial penalties or affecting your GPA.

Credits with a “C” or better will be considered. The criteria for transferring credits depend on the major you have selected and the institution from which you are transferring credits.
