Complete Cancellation

Students who wish to cancel their registration for a given term must secure written permission from their school dean. The last day for complete cancellation for any student is the same as the last day of the schedule change period for that student. Please consult the Registrar's Calendars for the appropriate date. Students receiving dean's permission for a complete cancellation of registration will receive a full tuition refund minus the required deposit. No record of attendance will be made on the student's transcript for the given term.

Complete Withdrawal

Students who wish to withdraw from school for a given term must secure written permission from their school dean. Students withdrawing from school will receive the appropriate mark of withdrawal (W, WF, or WU) as determined by the school dean's office. Each school has different dates for determining the appropriate mark for withdrawal, so please consult your dean's office for any deadlines.

Prior to withdrawal, students should contact the Office of Financial Aid and the Student Financial Services Office regarding the impact of withdrawing upon their aid and charges. Unofficial withdrawal results in 100% forfeiture of tuition. If a student officially withdraws, the student may be eligible for a tuition adjustment and possible refund of payments depending upon the date of withdrawal. Refunds are only processed for complete withdrawal. Financial aid awards that pay part or all of the student charges are prorated accordingly. Refunds for Federal (Title IV) aid recipients will be prorated in accordance with Federal regulations.

Partial Withdrawal

Students who wish to withdraw from one or more, but not all, courses for which they are enrolled must secure written permission from their school dean. Students withdrawing from one or more courses will receive the appropriate mark of withdrawal (W, WF, or WU) as determined by the school dean's office. Each school has different dates for determining the appropriate mark of withdrawal, so please consult your dean's office for any deadlines. During fall and spring semesters, students receiving dean's permission for a partial withdrawal will receive no tuition refund. During the summer semester only, students receiving dean's permission for a partial withdrawal will receive a partial tuition refund.

Note: If you leave the University for any reason, you are advised to contact the Student Financial Services Office and the Office of Financial Aid to ensure that all financial matters are handled properly. No refunds will be issued until all semester charges are paid in full.

Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE)

ARCHE Cross Registration is a program developed and sponsored by the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education. Under certain conditions the program allows students to take courses at a member institution that are not offered at the home institution. Students must be full-time and in good standing. Courses are taken on a space available basis. All tuition and fees are paid through the home institution. The student is registered at the host institution as a "special" student only. Cross Registration does not constitute regular admission and the student has access only to those facilities needed to successfully complete the course(s).

Emory University students who wish to enroll for courses at an ARCHE member institution must complete a Cross Registration application form and receive approval from their school dean and the University Registrar.

Students from other ARCHE member institutions who wish to enroll at Emory University must contact their home institution ARCHE cross registration coordinator.

Academic Advising

Prior to pre-registration, consult with your academic advisor. Use this time to discuss problems and concerns about your requirements, career goals, and other academic issues. This is not merely a time for you to select courses, but a time for serious consideration of your academic plans. If you do not have an assigned advisor, you can go to 300 White Hall and arrange to see an academic counselor.

Summer School

There is no pre-registration for Summer School.

Students pre-register for fall and spring semesters by entering bid requests online using OPUS. The OPUS pathway to enter bids is Academics > Enrollment > Emory College Bidding.   Bidding requests may be made online during a specified period of time for each class (Senior, Junior, Sophomore, Freshman). Students may use the system and make adjustments before their bids are processed. Students who fail to bid by the deadline for their class may enter bids during the bidding request period for the next class.

At the close of a given bidding request period, all the available information is processed. Once a student's bids have been run and a schedule recorded in the system, the bidding request screen will no longer be accessible. Students in this pre-registration bidding period are then scheduled for courses.

Schedule changes can be made only during the add/drop/swap period. The opening date for the schedule change period for each term is available on the Registrar's Important Dates.   Schedule changes will be made via OPUS. Students who fail to make bidding requests on or before the final day for the Emory College bidding period can register for classes during the add/drop/swap period. The OPUS pathway to make enrollment changes during the schedule change period is Academics > Enrollment > Enrollment and Add/Drop/Swap .

During bidding, a "permission required course" cannot be processed without a valid permission number.

A student's course schedule will be available on OPUS upon completion of the scheduling period for his/her class. The OPUS pathway to view a schedule is Academics > Enrollment > View My Class Schedule .
