Registrar

The Office of the Registrar is here to assist you with everything you need to register for classes or make adjustments to your schedule, get a copy of your transcripts, and prepare to graduate.

Registration typically occurs 2 months prior to the start of the semester.  During this time, students my drop and add classes as necessary. It is also during this time when additional course sections can be added or cancelled, depending on student demand. Adding yourself to a course waitlist will help us to determine the need for additional course sections. 

Open registration closes at 11:59pm on the Thursday before the start of the semester. Once registration closes, you can no longer add classes. Any requests to drop a class once the semester has begun, must be made in writing directly to the Registrar. Telling your instructor or advisor that you wish to drop the class, does not constitute withdrawing from the class. Tuition refunds will be assessed according to the Tuition Refund Policy below.

Drop/Add Form

Student financial aid budgets are determined based on the number of credits a student is registered for: 

Full-time status = 9 credits or more per semester 

Three-quarter time status = 7 – 8 credits per semester 

Half-time status = 3 – 6 credits per semester 

Less than half-time status = 1 – 2 credits per semester 

A student who drops below half-time status is no longer eligible for Title IV student financial aid.  Pending disbursements will be cancelled and the Clearinghouse will be notified that the student is no longer enrolled at least half-time. If you have an enrollment status change and are on financial aid, please notify the Director of Financial Aid of the change. 

A student may request a Leave of Absence, (LOA) due to illness or other extenuating circumstances, by submitting the Request for Leave of Absence form to their Program Chair.  Students may take a LOA not to exceed 12 months, or smaller incremental leaves not to exceed 12 months-time in total. For the complete policy, see the catalog.  

Students seeking to change degree programs must complete the Change of Program form, (see link below). After the appropriate signatures have been obtained, please return the form to the Registrar’s Office. 

For information regarding Re-Admission, please go to the catalog for the complete policy and procedures. 

Transcripts are processed by the Registrar’s Office. All transcript requests must be made by completing the Transcript Request form (see form below under Attachments). Please complete one form per request. The cost is $10 per transcript.  Please allow 7-14 business days for processing. We are unable to send transcripts electronically. Adler does not have the required secure means to send your transcript electronically. Laws prohibit us from sending your transcript to you, or other entity via email. If you have any questions, please contact the Registrar’s Office. 

After open registration closes, all requests to drop a course must be made in writing to the Registrar.
