Prior to the registration period for the fall and spring semesters and summer sessions, students should refer to their degree audits which are available through InfoBear at infobear.bridgew.edu/ahomepg.htm to ensure compliance with the graduate degree requirements. Graduate students are not required to have registration forms signed by their advisers; however, graduate students should consult their advisers on a regular basis regarding their course schedules. Degree-seeking graduate students who register on-line will be billed for their tuition and fees by the Office of Student Accounts. These bills are emailed to graduate students.

Graduate course work is offered on either a full- or part-time basis. Students should realize that it is not always possible to set an absolute deadline for completing a graduate program due to such factors as the university’s need to reserve the right to cancel any course for which there is insufficient enrollment and the need of the departments to offer courses on a rotating basis. The university and academic departments, however, make every effort to schedule courses in a timely manner.

Students who have applied and been denied admission to a degree program will not be allowed to register for graduate courses. Students will have a registration hold placed on their account by the College of Graduate Studies. Students must submit an appeal letter or email to the dean of the College of Graduate Studies prior to registering.
