What is E-REG?
E-REG is a secure
website that students enter to indicate that they will attend classes in
the upcoming fall or spring semester.
Students can access the E-REG site from anywhere with an internet
connection.
Students take note: It is critical that
you visit the E-REG site and indicate your
intention to attend the semester for which you have scheduled.
When is E-REG open?
E-REG opens the
Tuesday before classes begin and ends at midnight on the last day of
the ADD period for each fall and spring semester.
How
do I use E-REG?
E-REG is fast and
simple. During the E-REG open period, just click the E-REG button on the
S.C.O.T.S. page and submit your intent to attend the upcoming semester.
When is E-REG required?
E-REG is required for each fall and
spring semester.
E-REG is not used for
summer sessions.
What
does E-REG tell the University?
E-REG
lets us know if a student is “really here."
Because accurate enrollment and seat count information enables us to
provide better service to our students, we need to know who will be
attending each upcoming semester.
E-REG provides information in a real-time, electronic format that
allows us to confirm a student's enrollment status--whether or not
students who have pre-scheduled are actually here.
How
does the University use this information?
Coupled with First
Day Attendance, E-REG helps us determine who is here and who is not.
When all records indicate that a student is not attending, we may DROP
the student's class schedule.
Confirming a student's enrollment status through E-REG helps us
determine when to REMOVE the class schedules of students who
pre-scheduled, but are not attending.
How
does E-REG help me?
You will be able to
find and schedule more of the courses you need.
Dropping non-attended
schedules
frees seats for other students who need them. Since this occurs
throughout the ADD period, many previously closed courses become
available while students are still able to adjust their schedules.
Will my schedule be dropped if I do not complete
E-REG?
E-REG is used as
confirmation of a student's intent to remain enrolled for the semester.
If a student does not complete E-REG, this inaction is a factor
considered along with non-attendance reports from instructors. If
the student does not appear to be attending, not completing E-REG may
lead to the student's schedule being dropped.
Does the University use any other means to confirm
my enrollment?
In addition to E-REG, students must respond to the tuition bill
they receive in one of two ways:
(1) If they will attend, they must return the "tear-off"
portion of the bill with their signature and payment or payment plan
option,
OR
(2) If they will not attend, they must return the
postage-paid postcard that states, “I’m NOT returning” for the upcoming
semester.
Responding to your tuition bill is critical because it can affect your
revenue account and your financial aid as well as your schedule.

What is the First Day
Attendance Requirement?
FIRST DAY
ATTENDANCE is required for all students in all classes.
This means that
students
must attend the first class meeting of each course on their
schedule.
Students take note:
It is imperative that you attend classes and that you make sure your
instructor knows that you are present in class. Don't
jeopardize your class schedule or your financial aid--report to all
your classes the first time they meet!
How is First Day Attendance recorded?
Instructors will take
attendance and report daily to the Office of Records and
Registration throughout the "ADD" period.
Any student whose
name is marked "non-attend" will be removed from the
class list, freeing seats for other students during the "ADD"
period.
Why
do I have to attend my first class?
If you fail to attend the first class meeting, the instructor may
report non-attendance to the Office of Records and Registration, and
the class may be dropped from your schedule.
Attendance in all
classes is important for a student’s success. The first class of a
semester is particularly important as your professor will most likely
give an overview of the course, distribute syllabi and exam/test dates,
as well as begin teaching the course material.
What if I miss my first class
due to car trouble, illness, or other extenuating circumstances?
We recognize that students may have a legitimate reason for not
being in class. In such a case, you should contact the
professor via phone or email. If you cannot reach the
professor, then please contact the department chair or dean so that
your name may be reported and not removed from the class.
How does First Day Attendance help
me?
You will be able to find and schedule more of the courses you
need.
Our goal is to remove scheduled classes of students who are not
attending within the ADD period, and to open these classes to other
students who need them.
In any given
semester, as many as 700 seats are reported as "non-attend" and
are made available to students during the ADD period. Those 700
seats make a significant impact on your ability to get into the classes
you need.
Making unused class
seats available early, as soon as the semester begins, allows
students to schedule courses that may have previously been closed.
Do I
still need to DROP a class if I decide not to take it and do not attend?
Yes! You can
not
assume that the course will be dropped for you. You must make sure
your schedule is correct by personally completing your own ADD or DROP
transactions.
If you have questions
about how an ADD or DROP may affect your billing or financial aid, you may inquire at the
Student Services Center in Hamilton Hall.
Why is First Day Attendance required?
First Day Attendance
reporting is
a win-win situation for both students and faculty.
Because unused class seats are identified and reopened, students are
able to make final scheduling adjustments as early as
possible.
Students then do not miss
the important first class meetings, and instructors have accurate
enrollment and attendance records from the beginning of the
semester.
First Day
Attendance helps in providing accurate
enrollment and seat count information. This helps the
University provide the best possible service to our students.
