Registration and Enrollment
A student must be officially admitted as either degree or non-degree seeking, and registered prior to attending any class session of any course. Courses and schedules of classes are announced well in advance of the beginning of each term. Dates and hours when students may register and instructions for registering are available online at www.hood.edu/gradregister. Students are encouraged to register online using Self-Service after their initial term of enrollment. Note: Students in the doctoral program in organizational leadership are registered every term by the registrar's office.
Students are responsible for seeing that they have met all appropriate prerequisites before registering for courses. Failure to meet course prerequisites places the student at risk and will not be considered as cause for a refund of tuition. Students who have not met prerequisites will require written approval by the instructor. Non-degree seeking students may be required to seek permission from the appropriate instructor or program director in order to enroll. Because some courses may be closed due to heavy student enrollment, students are encouraged to register early. Students nearing the completion of their programs should register as early as possible to avoid facing closed classes. The regular registration period continues through the drop/add period of the semester as defined on the Academic Calendar.
