Registration for Spring 2012

Class Search
This provides a real-time listing of courses with the # of available seats and closed class info. For this reason, it is the very best class search method. However, please note that your session is limited to a 5-minute session with this guest log-in.

Printable Class Schedule (click)
Revisions are continually being made to course offerings. (Revisions include course additions/deletions, changes in locations, time of class, and instructor.) This printable class schedule will not provide the # of available seats in each class or if a class is closed. For that information, current students will need to log into Portico/WebAdvisor and use “Search for Sections” under Student Academic Planning.

  • CONFIRMING ENROLLMENT
    • There are lots of interpretations and misinformation regarding “confirming enrollment”. Please read the following carefully.
    • Every student must “confirm enrollment.”
    • This lets us know that you are actually enrolled for the current term. (A few students intend to come and intend to use their financial aid @ Lee, but end up not coming. We cannot assume that you are here and apply government funds to your account without knowing for sure that you are enrolled. )
    • Even if you have enough financial aid (loans, scholarships, etc) to cover your down payment, and even if your parents made a payment for you at Student Financial Services, every student must “confirm enrollment”.
    • You may confirm online or in person.
      • To confirm online, login to Portico, click on the “Student” tab, then select “Enrollment Confirmation” from the drop-down menu. Select the semester you wish to confirm, and submit.
        • If you confirm online, make sure you get the confirmation page, “Congratulations! Your registration is CONFIRMED.” Print & save as your receipt of payment. If you do NOT get this confirmation, try again. (Also print a class schedule as proof of the classes you have chosen.)
        • For step-by-step instructions, please click here.
        • If you get the confirmation page, you may skip the registration line and just show up for classes on the first day of class.
      • To confirm in person, you must sign the registration papers/”pink sheets” with Student Financial Services staff.
    • “Making a payment” (either online using WebAdvisor or your parents leaving their credit card # with Student Financial Services staff) is NOT confirming enrollment. Making a down payment or applying your approved financial aid is part of the “confirm enrollment” process, but you still must either click on “confirm enrollment” or sign the registration papers to complete the process.
    • Confirming enrollment will prevent your schedule from being purged. If purged, you will have to get the special “purged” registration form from the Records Office and go through the registration process again.
    • Advance Class Selection (ACS) is merely choosing your courses/selecting a schedule; it is not registering or confirming. ACS occurs in Oct/Nov, March/Apr, Lee Day, and Summer, but this is merely the first step of registration.
    • If you need to change your schedule after confirming, you must process this change with a Change of Schedule form to document your permission for your schedule to be changed. This can be picked up from the Records Office, Admin Bldg, Rm 124.
    • Merely not attending a class does NOT withdraw you from the class. If you fail to withdraw from a class and it remains on your schedule until final exams, your instructor will assign a grade of “F” for non-participation/non-completion of the class since you would still be registered for the class.
    • If you need to change your meal plan, you must process this change by filling out a form in the Residential Life Office, PCSU, 3rd floor. (Last day to change a meal plan is the last day to register, or Sept 6, 2011.)
    • Study Abroad students on a Lee-sponsored trip or at a CCCU institution must also confirm their enrollment.
  • PURGE OF CLASSES
    • If you have not “confirmed enrollment” (either online or in person) by Sunday, Jan 15 your classes will be purged early Monday morning.
    • Please be aware of the following reminders re: Purging of Schedules:
      • Please refer to the notes above if you have questions about how to confirm/if you have confirmed.
      • Some students who chose courses during ACS change their plans and do not return to Lee. Purging is necessary to make these classes available for current students.
      • After a schedule is purged, if the student intends to complete registration and get credit/grades for courses, the student must begin the registration process at the Records Office. There is a set procedure and required approvals for registration at this point.

  • FREQUENTLY ASKED REGISTRATION QUESTIONS
    • When is the last day I can register?
      • ANSWER: Tuesday, Jan 24, 2012 is the final day of registration. This allows 12 days of registration in which a student may move in and out of classes in order to correct their schedule. During these 12 days, dropped classes do not show up on your transcript.
    • What happens on Wednesday, Jan 25, 2012, if I decide to quit a class?
      • ANSWER: If you decide to “drop” a class on Wed, Jan 25, it is actually a “withdrawal”. On this date, a grade of “W” is assigned to your transcript to show that you ended your participation in the class.
    • What do you mean by “confirm enrollment”?
      • ANSWER: Confirming your enrollment communicates to us that you are a real, enrolled student for the current term. There are 2 ways you can “confirm”:
      • (1) If you have a computer login/password, you may confirm online via Portico/WebAdvisor between Nov 23, 2011 and Jan 24, 2012. For step-by-step instructions, please click here.
      • (2) If you are a first-time student or returning student and did not confirm online, you will need to confirm enrollment in person by signing registration papers and applying your financial aid or personal funding as down payment. Please talk with Student Financial Services staff person during the 12 days of registration (Jan 9-24). Also, if there are problems with your bill, you must confirm in person.
    • Have I “confirmed” my enrollment if I click on “make a payment”?
      • ANSWER: No, “making a payment” is not the same as “confirming enrollment”. It is possible to make a payment and never click on “confirm enrollment” (online confirming), and it is possible for your parents to make a payment for you with Student Financial Services staff but you never confirm your enrollment. If not confirmed, your schedule will be purged.
      • Every student must “confirm enrollment” either online or in person each term.
    • When is the last day I can confirm my enrollment?
      • ANSWER: To prevent your schedule from being purged, you will need to “confirm enrollment” by Sunday, Jan 15. The final day to confirm is Tuesday, Jan 24, which is the last day to register. TO PREVENT PURGE OF YOUR SCHEDULE, PLEASE DISCUSS YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION WITH STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES (BUSINESS OFFICE).
    • What is the first day that I will get a “W” on my transcript if I quit a class?
      • ANSWER: If you decide to “drop” a class on Wed, Jan 25, it is actually a “withdrawal”. On this date, a grade of “W” is assigned to your transcript to show that you ended your participation in the class. A grade of “W” does not impact your GPA; it merely communicates that for some reason, you terminated your participation in the class. Having a grade of “W” is only a negative mark for students who pursue a career in medicine or law, in that it may delay acceptance into programs in which census is limited or highly competitive. For all other students, a grade of “W” is neither a positive nor negative mark.
    • How do I change my schedule?
      • Between now and Tuesday, Jan 10, 2012 - If you are a returning student, you may add/drop classes online using Portico/WebAdvisor. If you still need an advising session with your advisor to grant permission to choose classes, allow me to mention that many faculty will be out-of-town and will check their email sporadically during breaks. Please be patient if it takes a few days to get an email response.
      • First two days of registration (Jan 9-10) -

        a. Returning students - In the Science & Math Complex (SMC): Pick up your schedule between 8:15-11:15 a.m. or 1:15-3:00 p.m. Advisors are in the SMC. For first-time students – You will receive an appointment card during New Student Orientation (NSO) which tells you what time to come to the SMC on either Monday/Tuesday, Jan 9 or 10, to complete registration.

        b. Returning students who have already confirmed enrollment – There will be computers set up in the SMC on Jan 9-10 for you to change your schedule. Come to check-in to get a copy of your schedule; then proceed to either online registration or to meet with an advisor.
      • For the remainder of the registration period (Jan 11-24), you will need to come to the Records Office to get an add/drop form.
    • What happens if I decide to attend a different section of a class instead of the one on my schedule?
      • ANSWER: At the end of the term when grades are being assigned, you will be assigned an “F” for non-participation/ non-completion of the class that is on your schedule. You must follow the steps above in order to change your schedule using the proper paperwork and process in order to get credit/grade for your class.
    • Which students must remain full-time status? Why?
      • ANSWER: International students (for I-20/SEVIS agreement to study in the states), athletes (to avoid forfeiting a game), those with HOPE scholarships or HONOR scholarships (to prevent losing your qualification), other financial aid situations (check with the Financial Aid Dept, 2nd fl, Admin Bldg), students who participate in a traveling ensemble/band/choir (to be covered by insurance), and students who are on campus or have a meal plan must remain full-time.
    • I am arriving later in the registration period. What can I do to keep my classes?
      • ANSWER: If you know you are arriving after Friday, Jan 13, contact the Records Office (Records@leeuniversity.edu or call us at 423.614.8200) to let us know your arrival date and to request your schedule to be preserved.
    • What is the difference between “registration” and “late registration”?
      • “Registration” - The 2-day period, Monday-Tuesday, Jan 9-10, when registration is held in the SMC. For your convenience, all offices relocate to this one building, including academic advisors. It is a one-stop-shop for these 2 days, and there are no late fees.
      • “Late registration” - On Wednesday, Jan 11, “late fees” are applied. There are two types of fees: (1) a late registration fee and (2) a transaction fee for each change you make to your schedule. Check the online university catalog at or ask a staff member in Student Financial Services for current fees.
    • When do classes begin?
      • ANSWER: Classes begin on Wednesday, Jan 11. It is much preferred that you register on either Monday or Tuesday, Jan 9-10, to stay up-to-date in your classes. Studies show that class attendance is directly linked to student success. We want you to be successful!
