What should faculty know about how students register for classes?
The process by which students at UNC Asheville register for classes varies depending on the student's status:
|
Continuing students (students who are enrolled in the
current semester and plan to enroll in future semesters)
register during Pre-Registration. For the Summer and Fall
semester, Pre-Registration occurs during April.
Pre-Registration for the Spring semester happens during
November. A schedule of registration dates based on a
student's class (freshman, sophomore, etc) is posted each
semester and sent to all student's UNC Asheville email
accounts.

New students (students who are not enrolled during the current semester and have been accepted in Admissions to enroll for future semesters) register in one of two ways:

What is the difference between students dropping courses and students withdrawing from courses?
When a student drops a course, there is no record of the course on their transcript. They do not have to pay for these courses once they are off their schedule. If a student withdraws from a course, it will remain on their transcript with a grade of "W". You can see if a student has withdrawn from your course by viewing your class list in OnePort.
Students may only drop courses during the Pre-Registration and Drop/Add periods. After the Drop/Add period ends, students must withdraw from classes. You may find the exact dates of these periods on the academic calendar.
What should I do if I have concerns about a student?
Faculty at UNC Asheville often interact with their students on a personal level. It is the closeness of faculty/student relationships that give UNC Asheville the opportunity to reach out and help students in need in ways not always available at larger schools. If you have concerns about a student, please don't hesitate to contact Advising & Learning Support, the Dean of Students, or the Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs.
Students don't need to be in crisis before you let another UNC Asheville representative know of your concern. We can help students who are having difficulty with their roommates, having trouble balancing school and work, or those that are having trouble adjusting to UNC Asheville, in addition to those struggling with more serious issues of alcohol, drugs, abuse, or self-image.
