Registration
First‐time full‐time freshmen and part-time students are registered by the Academic Success and Advising Center. Transfer students are registered by the Office of Transfer Admissions.
Priority registration is held for continuing students during the semester in which they are presently enrolled. Students are able to register online. All students, prior to their registration, are strongly advised to consult with their academic advisor concerning potential course selection. Student veterans on record with the Office of Veteran Services at Centenary University, who are enrolled in a traditional degree program (not accelerated) may register for classes on the first day of priority registration for each Fall and Spring semester of any academic year.
Returning students who did not register prior to the start of an academic semester may register during the Drop/Add period in the Registrar’s Office with their advisor’s approval during the dates set forth in the Academic Calendar. Returning students while able to register for courses on their own are strongly encouraged to meet with their academic advisors prior to registration.
Undergraduate students who wish to register for an online course offered at the School of Professional Studies are required to obtain permission from their academic advisor and the School of Professional Studies and complete a Hackettstown Campus SPS Registration Form. They must follow the policies and procedures outlined by the School of Professional Studies.
New and Returning SPS students are planned for their required classes based on an audit of transfer credit (if applicable) upon admittance to each program. SPS students should register for their courses at least 30 days prior to the start of the course. Registering for courses is required for students to be added to the course roster and to gain access to course information via the Learning Management System.
The goal of Centenary University is to have all of its students demonstrate progress toward their chosen degree. It is strongly recommended that full‐time degree seeking students earn a minimum of 30 credits in an academic year. The University may advise a student to attend summer sessions at either Centenary or another accredited institution (with permission) in order to maintain appropriate progress toward their projected date of graduation.
