Registration and Transcript Information

Auditing Courses

Having met prerequisites and, with approval from the academic advisor, a student may register to audit a course without receiving grades or credits. Audited courses must be indicated with an “AUD” in the credit-hour column on the registration form. Tuition for a course audited is the same as for a course taken for credit. While attendance at all class sessions is expected, completion of assignments, including examinations and term papers, is not required.

Changing course registration from credit status to audit status is permitted only during the Drop/Add period. Changing course registration from audit status to credit status is not permitted. The University reserves the right to cancel an audit registration if class size exceeds space available.

Cancellation Of Courses

The University reserves the right to cancel a course in the academic schedule because of insufficient enrollment or for any other valid reason. Notification of a cancelled course will be sent to students at their University email address.

Closed Classes

Closed classes are managed through the individual college registration offices.

Credit Hours

Immaculata University uses a semester-credit system when assigning credit to all courses. The credit hour policy is outlined in the IU Policy Manual, Volume V (Section 5.3.1).

Family Educational Rights And Privacy Act (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 grants students the right to review their educational records. Students wishing access to their records should make the request in writing to the Registrar. Federal law permits the release of academic records to the parents of students with the submission of evidence that the parents have declared the student as a dependent on their most recent Federal Income Tax form.

Prerequisite Overrides

In rare circumstances, the chair of the department/division in which a course resides may approve a student to enter a course without having satisfied the pre-requisite requirements. An approved override form must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office.
