Registration

Degree Seeking Registrants – Semester and Summer session registration dates and times are made available on the Registrar’s webpage and the main page of WebAdvisor. Continuing students register online via WebAdvisor after having met with their advisors. Students registering for the first time at Holy Family and newly readmitted students register in-person at the Registrar’s Office during published office hours during the registration period designated for their status. Academic and Faculty Advisors assist students in course planning and selection, however, all students are responsible for observing the necessary prerequisites and corequisites as well as selecting courses necessary to fulfill concentration requirements in their proper sequence. Ordinarily, degree completion will be affected when/if students fail to enroll in regularly scheduled required courses in their degree programs. Information concerning registration can found on the Registrar’s webpage and the main page of WebAdvisor, both accessible from the University’s homepage, www.holyfamily.edu.

Non-Degree Seeking Registrants – Students visiting from another college or university or anyone taking a course for personal enrichment may go directly to the Registrar’s Office for relevant instructions regarding enrollment and registration.

Course Load – The normal course load for full-time students is from 15 to 18 semester hours, varying with the student’s particular curriculum and scholarship record. Approval to carry hours in excess of this load will be granted by the appropriate Dean only to those students whose scholastic record gives evidence of their ability to do superior work. The minimum academic load for full-time students is 12 semester hours. The current tuition per credit will be charged for credits exceeding 18 in number.

In Summer sessions, the maximum credit load for undergraduates is 6 credits per session. Approval to carry hours in excess of this load will be granted by the appropriate Dean only to those students whose scholastic record gives evidence of their ability to do superior work.

Auditing Courses – The Registrar authorizes all formal auditing of courses. The privilege of auditing classes is extended to students who may wish to benefit from certain courses without assuming responsibility for preparing assignments and completing examinations. The student is, however, expected to meet all other course requirements. Authorization to change from credit to audit or audit to credit status must be made within the first two weeks of the Fall or Spring semesters, or within the first week of a Summer Session. During Fall and Spring semesters, if the total number of credit hours per semester does not exceed 18, full-time students are entitled to audit courses without extra tuition. One-half of the regular credit fee is charged for part-time students who audit classes and for full-time students whose semester credit load exceeds 18 credits. Auditors are responsible to pay all fees normally associated with a given course.

Cross Registration Agreements for SEPCHE Institutions – Full-time undergraduate, matriculated students paying full-time tuition at any SEPCHE member institution may enroll for up to two undergraduate courses a year at any other SEPCHE member institution provided they have fulfilled any prerequisites stated, that there is space available in the course, and that the course or its equivalent is not given at the home institution in the same semester. Students must have completed at least one year as a full-time student at their home campus before taking courses through cross registration. Students may cross-register at the Registrar’s Office of their home institution.The following policies apply in those cases in which cross registration is completed.

  • Grades received in courses taken through the SEPCHE cross registration are calculated in the home campus grade point average
  • Credits earned count toward graduation requirements at the home institution
  • Substitution of courses taken through cross registration for required courses in the major (or minor) requires special approval by the major (or minor) division or department. A student may not complete all coursework for a major at a host institution unless there is a special agreement between two or more institutions
  • The Registrar of each institution will keep a record of the number of students cross-registered each semester and the number of units or credits taken each semester and will report those numbers to the SEPCHE office by November 1 and April 1 each year
  • No tuition or fees will be charged by host institutions, except for special or extra fees that are part of courses taken, such as lab fees. The student is responsible for these fees and the home institution will take responsibility for their collection
  • The cross registration program functions only during Fall and Spring semesters
  • Cross registration is not available for accelerated or weekend courses, independent study, tutorials, internships, practicum field experience, student teaching experiences, private music lessons, or graduate students
  • Authorization to drop or add a course adheres to the deadlines of the host institution. Students may enroll after deadlines without penalty at their home or other SEPCHE institutions if a course they are enrolled in is canceled
  • Students are responsible for transportation to and from the host campus and for adjusting to differences in academic schedules and calendars to obtain campus identification and parking permits. There will be no additional parking charge for SEPCHE students parking on the host campus.
