Wait List Procedures, CR/NCr and Audit and Overload Information

Wait Lists
Wait Lists are maintained in the Registrar’s Office.  This cannot be done online.  If you wish to be placed on the wait list for a fall term course please fill out the appropriate form at the Registrar’s Office. 

CR/NCr (pass/fail)
To elect this grading option you must come into the Registrar’s Office and complete the proper form to declare one course CR/NCr prior to the end of the first week of classes.

• First year students may not take any course CR/NCr.
• Major, minor and general education courses CANNOT be taken Cr/NCr.
• May Term classes CANNOT be taken CR/NCr.
• Limited to one course per term and six courses total.
  In general, when in doubt about a course, the better strategy is to elect the Cr/NCr option initially because one has only the first week of classes to make that declaration. On the other hand, one has until the drop date to DELETE that designation and take the course for a grade.

Audits
To elect to take a course as an audit one must have the instructor’s permission and complete the declaration form in the Registrar’s Office prior to the start of the term.

Overloads
If you intend to register for more than 4 course units you are incurring an overload. An approved Overload Request form must be on file in the Registrar's Office before you may enroll in the overload class. (PE activity courses are not counted for this purpose.)

Normally, students with majors in the College of Liberal Arts or the Schools of Nursing, Art, or Theater Arts may enroll in two lab courses which grant 1.25 course units without incurring an overload. (Maximum load is thus 4 courses totaling 4.5 course units.)

BA students who elect Music as a major or minor may take a maximum of 4.5 course units without incurring an overload.

Students enrolled in the School of Music are permitted 5 course units before incurring an overload in the Fall or Spring Term.
