Students entering Relay in their first term of enrollment or through reenrollment are registered for courses by the Registrar’s Office on their behalf. In each subsequent term, students who are not on a financial registration hold are responsible for registering for courses in partnership with their Manager of Student Success using My Relay Portal during the registration window. The Registrar’s Office might register students for specific courses such as specific state-required Clinical Experience courses; in these cases, students receive notification via email that a course has been added. Students needing to make changes to their courses after the registration window closes for the term will need to consult with their Manager of Student Success. 

 

Students are not permitted to register for classes that have schedule conflicts with each other in the same term and should work with their Manager of Student Success to set up their schedule in a way that will allow them to attend all required classes for all courses. Students are not permitted to register for more than one Clinical Practice course (i.e., course with “CLIN” prefix) in any one term.

 

At times, Relay may need to close or change course sections due to enrollment numbers. In these cases, students will be notified of schedule changes.

 

If students do not intend to be enrolled for an upcoming term, the Registrar’s Office must receive a Withdrawal Form, a Leave of Absence Application, or an Inactive Term Enrollment Request Form from students before the end of their current term of enrollment (see Terms for these dates) and no later than the census date of the upcoming term. The forms and application are both accessible in the Support Center. Students who do not submit a Withdrawal Form, a Leave of Absence Application, or an Inactive Enrollment Request Form no later than the census date of the upcoming term could be administratively withdrawn from Relay. For more information, please see the process for withdrawing from Relay or taking a leave of absence. Please also see the process for administrative withdrawals. 

 

Relay invoices tuition and fees automatically as students register for courses. Changes to registered courses made on or after the start of the term will be reflected on a student’s bill within one (1) business day, at most. Students can see their term’s registered course schedule on their My Relay Portal; bills are available on Nelnet. 

 

Students are responsible for dropping a course or withdrawing from a program prior to the dates on Relay’s refund calendar to receive a full refund of tuition and fees paid for a course within a term; see Table 9 immediately below. Students that do not drop a scheduled course by the census date listed in the refund calendar will be responsible for the course tuition and fees. Students who are considered a “no show” and are administratively withdrawn from Relay will have all course registrations removed from their Relay profile for that term and tuition updated accordingly. 

 

The procedure to register for courses can be found below:

Registration Windows

The registration windows can be found in Table 10 immediately below. These dates apply to all enrolled students seeking course registration for a term, including students returning from a leave of absence, withdrawal, administrative withdrawal, program dismissal, or an inactive term.

 

Students who cannot be registered by the registration window closing each term due to student holds will be registered once holds are resolved. If holds are not resolved, and students are not registered by the start of the upcoming term, students will be administratively withdrawn effective at the end of their current term. Please see Student Holds for additional details.
