Registration
Prior to the regularly scheduled registration period each student will be notified of their scheduled registration date and time. Policies and procedures are available on the Registrar’s webpage at www.sacredheart.edu/officesservices/registrar/. All full-time students are required to meet with their academic advisors prior to registration to discuss academic progress and registration options. All registration blocks must be cleared by the appropriate department before a student will be allowed to register.
New students interested in full-time study must apply to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions for matriculation prior to registration. For an appointment, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
New part-time students should contact the Undergraduate Part-Time Admissions Office prior to registration for academic advising.
Full-time students are allowed to take two online courses during the fall and spring semesters. First-time, full-time freshman may take only one online course in their second semester. The online course restriction does not apply to winter and summer sessions. The online course limit may be appealed to the dean of the student’s college.
Winter Intensive and Summer Registration at Sacred University
Students are limited to one course during the Winter Session. Permission to take an additional course may be requested by receiving a recommendation from their advisor and sending the recommendation to the Associate Registrar for a final decision.
Students may take only one course during the May intensive session and two courses during each of the summer sessions (summer session 1 and summer session 2) at Sacred Heart University.
See “Enrolling in Courses at other Institutions” for policy information.
Web Advisor
Web Advisor is a secure site with access for current students and faculty. Through Web Advisor students can search for open classes and register online, add/drop courses, view their schedules with up-to-date room and instructor information, or check restrictions on their registration. Students may also view their profile information and send corrections to the Registrar’s office. Students can view their grades and monitor their progress toward their degree goals.
Online Registration Using Web Advisor
Students are expected to register for classes through Web Advisor, provided the student does not have holds on their registration (balance due, Health Services immunization requirements, parking tickets, advisor permission, etc.). This ensures that all students comply with SHU policies prior to registration by meeting with their academic advisors and administrative departments to address any outstanding issues.
Students will be assigned time periods to register online for the fall and spring semesters including accelerated terms within those semesters. Messages will display on the screens whenever a student attempts to register for a class for which he or she is not qualified.
Registration Conditions
The University reserves the right to make changes at any time in admission requirements, fees, charges, tuition, regulations, and academic programs, if deemed necessary, prior to the start of any class.
The University also reserves the right to divide, cancel, or reschedule classes or reassign instructors if enrollment or other factors require. If course cancellations occur, students will be notified by the academic departments through SHU email in order to adjust their schedules.
