Registration Times:
Traditional students (Day Session) are assigned a specific time period in which to register on the dates listed (dates and times located on BlueNet). Registration is conducted through the BlueNet. Independent studies, internships, courses needing instructor permission or overloads must be processed through the Registration and Records Office. Students not able to make the assigned registration period may register during any period thereafter. Students are strictly prohibited from registering before their assigned periods. Students may not miss class due to registration. BACK TO TOP

Academic Advising:
Traditional (Day Session) students must make appointments with their faculty advisor prior to registration to plan a schedule. The assigned registration period is not an advising appointment. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule courses with the appropriate grading options which fulfill College requirements, to select alternate courses which are appropriate if original choices close, and to meet course prerequisites as specified in the College catalog. Students should come to their advising session prepared with this information to insure the most efficient use of time with an advisor.

Clearance of Financial Obligations:
Students are required to discharge all prior financial obligations (tuition and fee payment) with the Elmhurst College Office of Student Accounts before being allowed to register. Students are advised to confirm with the Office of Student Accounts that all financial obligations have been met prior to registration.

Registration for Closed Courses:
Students may attempt to obtain special permission to register for a course that is full by first contacting the instructor or the departmental chair of the course. In order to register for a closed course, students must present an approved Permission to Enter a Closed Course form in person to the Office of Registration and Records. The form must be signed by the course instructor. (In some cases, the signature of the Department Chairperson is necessary.) Course availability is listed in BlueNet under "search for classes."

BACK TO TOP

Independent Study:
Students wishing to register for an independent study class are required to complete an Independent Study form which must be signed by the instructor and in some cases signed by the Department Chairperson and then brought to the Office of Registration and Records. Forms are available from advisors or in the Office of Registration and Records.

BACK TO TOP

Internships, Field Work, Cooperative Education:
Internships require consent from an instructor and/or department chair to register. Refer to the catalog or consult with your advisor for further information. Consent forms are available from the Office of Registration and Records and located at our web page Registration and Records and must be signed by the appropriate faculty and must accompany registration.

Confirmation of Registration:
Students can check their schedule on line.

Dropping a Class:
Students who do not plan to attend classes for which they have registered must drop those classes online by the last day of the first week of class. Starting the second week of the term, a student must file an official ADD/DROP form with the Office of Registration and Records. Students who do not properly withdraw from a class should expect an "F" grade for that class. Refunds and withdrawal authorization are based on the date on which the completed Add/Drop form is received by the Office of Registration and Records.

Cooperative Education (CO-OP):
If you plan to enter the world of full-time work following your graduation from Elmhurst College, consider enrollment in cooperative education. You will gain valuable skills and work experience, which are highly valued by potential employers. Co-op is a work based learning program, which requires at least two paid work experiences during your academic career. You will earn credit for each of the work experiences. The Co-op program provides you with the opportunity to work simultaneously with classroom study (parallel track) or the option to alternate between work and classroom learning (alternate track). Additional information is available from the Office of Career Education in North Hall.

Child Care:

Experienced professionals care for your children in a safe, comfortable, and caring environment while you attend class or take care of business. For more information, please call (630) 617-3222.
