What Is Continuing Student (Priority) Registration? Continuing student registration is the period in which all currently enrolled students should register. This registration period is intended to give preference to all continuing students by matriculation and class level, ensuring that they are able to schedule classes before new students. This date-regulated process ensures fairness to all students and provides them with the best access to our computerized registration system. Register at your earliest opportunity to get the best selection of classes and the most convenient class schedule. See the Spring 2010 Academic Calendar and Registration Dates for your start dates and other important information. Please note that the first hour of the initial days of eligibility is extremely busy. If the system is busy, please be patient and try again later. What Must I Do To Register? • Consult the advising section of this site for specific school and college advising information. • If you are an undergraduate student, you should obtain your Degree Audit Report (DARS) from TUportal to assist you with your remaining course selections and determine the number of semester hours you have completed. • Carefully read the OWLnet information . What Is OWLnet? OWLnet is a web-based, real-time system that allows access to your academic and financial records. You log in using your AccessNet ID and password. OWLnet is available through the TUPortal seven days a week —from Sunday at 1:00 PM to Saturday at 10:00 PM, except 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM Monday through Saturday. What Will OWLnet Allow Me To Do?
Must I Register Through OWLnet? Registration through OWLnet IS MANDATORY provided you remain academically eligible. Your AccessNet ID and password will provide access to this registration system. Is Everyone Eligible To Register Through OWLnet? You become eligible to register and revise your schedule through OWLnet once you complete your first semester with a GPA of 2.0 or better. You remain eligible to register online provided your cumulative AND last semester’s (fall or spring) grade point averages are at least 2.00. Notes: 1. Some colleges allow undergraduate students who are attending their first Temple semester to pre-register online after they have been advised. Consult your academic advising office to see if this option applies to you. 2. Non-matriculated undergraduate students are not permitted to register via OWLnet. These students must contact an academic advisor in the Office of Continuing Education (CE) to process their registration. For more information, please visit the CE web site or call 215.204.2500 or contact your campus advising office. Must I See An Advisor If I Register On OWLnet? Although an advisor’s signature is not required if you register or add/drop online, you are encouraged to meet with your advisor prior to registering or at any time that you have questions. If you are a first semester freshman, you must see an advisor to ensure that an approval indicator is placed on your record. You are responsible for following your school/college guidelines and for meeting course prerequisites.
What Must I Do If I Am Not Eligible To Register Through OWLnet? You must make an appointment with your advisor, obtain a signed Registration/Schedule Revision Form and take it to your campus registration office according to the Registration Schedule for Continuing Students. Registration at campus registration locations is also regulated by matriculation and class level, so plan on registering on your start date for the best selection of courses. Are There Any Courses That Are Not Available Through OWLnet?
How Do I Know My Degree Requirements? Undergraduate students and their advisors use the Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) to plan and track a student’s academic career at Temple. DARS works in unison with the Integrated Student Information System (ISIS) to show how a student’s course work to date, including transferred courses, will fulfill the academic requirements necessary to complete their degree in the major field of study. A “What-if” DARS allows students to see how their completed course work would apply and what requirements would still need to be fulfilled, if they change their selection of major(s). Students can access their DARS document through the TUportal at. Students can learn more about the functionality, changes and updates to the DARS at the DARS web site at. Is There A Penalty For Late Registration? If you are a continuing matriculated student (graduate or undergraduate enrolled in the Fall 2009 semester), your registration for spring semester 2010 must be processed by December 21, 2009 to avoid a late registration fee. Although you may continue to register after this date, you will be charged a $50.00 Late Registration fee beginning December 22, 2009. The $50.00 late registration fee is assessed to all students who delay their registration until the first day of the semester. When Can I Revise My Schedule (Add/Drop)? You may revise your schedule online, if you are eligible, any time after you have registered. There is no charge to drop or add until the beginning of the second week of a fall or spring semester or the third day of a summer session. You will then be assessed $12 each day that you drop and/or add a section. If I Drop a Class, Will It Be Deleted From My Roster? Dropping classes by the end of the second week of the term will result in the removal of the class from your roster. After that date you may withdraw from a class but it will remain on your roster and appear on your transcript. You are also responsible for full payment of tuition and fees for withdrawals processed after the second week of classes, except as outlined in the University’s Tuition and Fees Refund Policy (see Tuition Refund Form located in the forms section of the Senior Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies web site. If A Course Is Cancelled, Do I Have To Drop It From My Roster? A course will be automatically deleted from your roster when the department officially cancels it. A computer generated notice will serve as official verification of the section cancellation. If you want to drop the course prior to formal cancellation by the department, you may do so. What Is Confirmation? Confirmation is the process of officially enrolling in classes reserved through registration. You are enrolled in a term after you either pay the balance or the minimum amount due by the due date on the initial bill or respond affirmatively to a zero ($0.00) balance due on the bill as explained below. Your class registration may be cancelled if your payment or response is not received by the due date. Note: If you are unable to attend your registered classes, you must drop them no later than the end of the second week of the spring, fall, or summer terms to have the associated tuition and fees deleted from your record. You may drop your classes through OWLnet or your advisor, even if you have holds. If you remain registered beyond these periods, you will be confirmed administratively and are responsible for paying the charges in full. See the Spring 2010 Academic Calendar and Registration Dates for specific semester deadline dates. How Do I Confirm My Registration If The Payment Due Is $0.00? EVEN IF THE MINIMUM PAYMENT DUE ON YOUR STATEMENT IS ZERO, you must do one of the following to confirm your classes: 1. Go online to the TUPortal, click on the OWLnet link and click on the Confirmation Button in the Financial Services option. 2. If you are a financial aid recipient, you may phone Student Financial Services at 215.204.2244 for their assistance with confirmation. Note: Financial aid that appears on your bill is not automatically applied as a credit until you confirm your reserved classes. Only after your classes are confirmed will your aid be applied as a credit toward your balance owed. If you have applied for financial aid that does not appear on your bill, you must contact the Department of Student Financial Services to avoid having your classes cancelled. If I Do Not Attend Classes, Will My Money Be Refunded? Once your classes are confirmed, you become liable for full payment of all charges assumed at registration. Simply failing to attend a class does not change the payment due or entitle you to a refund. To cancel the financial liability for a registration, you must drop the course(s) on OWLnet, at your campus registration office, or with your academic advisor no later than the last day to drop of the drop/add period. If you withdraw from a class after this date, the course will remain on your record as a withdrawal and you will be responsible for full payment of all tuition and fees.
