Fall 2008 Registration Information

By Jo Anne Bowen, Registrar

The Registration Agreement

When you register, the University reserves specific class spaces for you and commits resources to provide the instruction you have selected.  On your part, you assume responsibility for paying the assessed fees or for notifying the University if you decide not to attend.  The availability of courses is subject to change.  A class may be cancelled due to low enrollment or departmental staffing considerations.  The department canceling a class will notify registered students.

Your registration will not automatically be cancelled for nonpayment of fees.   You must either pay your fees or notify the Office of the Registrar by the end of the first week of classes (Fall 2008=Saturday 8/30) if you do not plan to attend IUN for the term.  Cancelling your registration by the end of the first week of classes (Fall 2008=Saturday 8/30) releases your class spaces in time to be available to other students and waives all fees assessed.  If you decide to cancel your registration, log on to OneStart ( www.onestart.iu.edu ) Student Self-Service, select the "Go to Student Center " link, then click on "Register & Drop Add," and follow the directions to drop your classes.  Beginning the second week of classes, if you are dropping ONLY, you may use eDrop (the link is found on the Student Self-Service page under the eDocs section, eDrop/eAdd Classes). 

Meningitis Information Requirement :  A recent Indiana State law requires Indiana University to inform its students of the risks associated with meningococcal disease and the benefits of vaccination.  All students have been sent an email encouraging them to go to a web-site to learn more about meningitis and the benefits of getting a vaccination.  There are links on the registrar homepage, http://www.iun.edu/~regisnw for both additional information and an electronic compliance form that allows students to acknowledge that they have read the information.

An immunization "block" (i.e., a negative "service indicator") has been placed on all new degree-seeking students admitted for the fall of 2005.  Prior to registration for the 2006 spring term (or future terms) - these students must go online and submit the online meningitis compliance form.  A system-wide program will automatically run each night that will remove the immunization service indicator (i.e., "block") for those students who have submitted the online immunization compliance form.  This means that students who submit the online immunization compliance form will not be able to register until "the next day."

What is eDrop?
Electronic Class Drop (eDrop) was developed so students could make needed changes to their class schedules without having to walk paper forms to various campus offices for approvals and processing.  After students submit their electronic eDrop requests, academic advisors and others can review and approve (or disapprove, if necessary) those drop requests using an electronic workflow system.  Approved drop requests will then automatically update student class schedules before email notifications are sent to students indicating the completion of their eDrop requests.

Paper drop/add forms are still available at the Office of the Registrar in Hawthorn Hall 109 and will still be accepted at the Office of the Registrar (with the required advisor signature).

When is eDrop available?

  • It is available the second week of classes, typically, for the Fall and Spring Terms and First and Second Summer Sessions of the Summer Term. 
  • eDrop for a session in a current term that has not started yet (e.g., Second Summer Session of the Summer Term) is available via workflow, but will require no approvals; however, once the second week of classes begins, approvals are required. 
  • eDrop will be available through the Automatic Grade of W deadline for the session of the class being dropped.  The eDrop Request page will indicate which classes can be dropped through eDrop on any given day.

Is my school using eDrop?

All schools and divisions participate in the eDrop process.

How does eDrop work for me?

If you need to drop a class, link to OneStart ( https://onestart.iu.edu ) just as you did to register for classes.  Within the “ Student Self-Service ” environment, scroll down to the “ eDocs ” section.  Click on the “ eDrop/eAdd Classes ” link, then the “ Drop Only ” link and follow the directions from there.  Please note this EXCEPTION :  If you want to ADD and DROP a class, contact the Office of the Registrar first for procedures.

Submit Your Request
The subsequent eDrop pages will lead you through the process of identifying, selecting, and confirming the class you need to drop.  These pages also contain important information related to the impact of dropping a class (e.g., financial aid eligibility, full-time enrollment status, fee refund, and withdrawal grade).

Refunds and Grades
Important: The date/time you initiate your eDrop request will be used as the official date/time of your class drop (to determine the appropriate refund and withdrawal grade).
After submitting your eDrop request, be sure to print the receipt page for your records.

Required Electronic Approvals
Your eDrop request will be electronically routed to those persons or offices that must approve your request to drop a class (i.e., Advising for all students, plus International Affairs or Athletics, as appropriate).

Notification of Completed Drop

When the required approvals have been granted, your eDrop request will trigger an automatic update to your class schedule.  You then will receive an email notification at your University email address of the completed drop request.

Where is the link to eDrop?
Link to eDrop through OneStart, Student Self-Service, eDocs, eDrop/eAdd Classes, Drop Only.  The link to OneStart is: https://onestart.iu.edu .
