with both of your advisors prior to
finalizing your spring 2015 schedule.

To override into a course that is closed
to registration, you will need to get the
signatures from the faculty member
of the class you wish to gain access
to and the Dean/Chair of the department of the course. You must bring
the form to the School office for a
School stamp. School offices have the
ability to put an expiration date on the
Override Form. You then must bring
the form to the Registrar’s Office.
If you do not submit it to the Registrar’s Office by the expiration date,
the form will not be honored. The
Registrar’s Office will check to make
sure they have all the information they
1
need and then will process the change.
You need to make sure you have room
in your schedule for the change and
that you do not exceed 16 credits,
if you were not intending on taking
more.
Prerequisite Permit Form (green)
You will need to get the signatures
from the faculty member of the class
you wish to waive the prerequisite
for and the Dean/Chair of the department of the course. You must bring
the form to the School office for a
School stamp. School offices have the
ability to put an expiration date on the
Prerequisite Permit Form. You then
must bring the form to the Registrar’s
Office.
If you do not submit it to the Registrar’s Office by the expiration date,
the form will not be honored. The
Registrar’s Office will check to make
sure they have all the information they
need and then will grant the waiver.
You will be asked to immediately
use a nearby computer to register for
the course, once the Registrar’s staff
has cleared the permission for you. It
remains your responsibility to register
for the class.
Full-Time Tuition
Full-time tuition pays for 12-16
credits. If you are planning on taking
five 3-credit courses, you may want to
consider adding an additional onecredit course. You can find one-credit
courses under Career Development,
Music, and Physical Education. Please
make sure to check the online catalog
for descriptions and prerequisites.
Class meeting times and withdrawal
deadlines may vary for those 1-credit
courses.

will tell you what the requirements are

Error Message Note
Read Your DegreeWorks Audit!
When registering, if you get the
message “Mutual Exclusion,” this
means that you have already taken
this course, which may have been
renumbered since your participation.
Honors Program Spring Courses
The Honors Program has their Spring
2015 courses viewable on their
webpage. Please follow this link for
more information http://www.marist.
edu/academics/honors/courses.html
Look Up Classes
Please note that the section number
of the classes that you are registering
for signify where the class will be
held. Undergraduate day courses in
Poughkeepsie are section numbers
111-149, and undergraduate evening
courses held in Poughkeepsie are 200230. Other section numbers are held
on other campuses, and only students
enrolled in those programs can take
those courses.
Please be cautious if the course days
and times are TBA as that signifies
that it’s an online course (section
numbers 720 and 740). Online courses
should only be taken when you are
academically ready to do so. The 740
series of online classes are reserved
for adult students only.
Did you know you can find out if
a course has any prerequisites by
clicking on the course title (blue) once
The academic degree audit, called
DegreeWorks, is a wonderful planning
tool to keep you on track for graduation. Please make sure that the courses
you are registered for are courses that
you need to complete for graduation.
If you are in a class that is an elective,
you should make sure that you still
need elective credits to graduate. Make
sure you are not repeating courses you
already took at another institution or
from AP or college credits from high
school. Ultimately, you are responsible for knowing and meeting your
program requirements. If something
does not look right on the audit, email
DegreeWorks@Marist.edu.
Withdrawing From Classes
November 3rd by 5:00 p.m. is the last
day to withdraw from a class (in the
15 week format) with a grade of “W.”
After November 3rd, if you wish to
withdraw from a class, the grade will
be “WF” which will calculate as an
“F.” Classes meeting different formats
have their own withdraw dates; please
check with the Registrar’s Office for
these dates. To withdraw from a class,
download the form from the Current
Students page on the Marist website
under Academics > Registrar section
and get your advisor’s signature. Be
sure to check if withdrawing will
affect your Federal and/or New York
State financial aid!
