Registration Information
This website is designed to help you complete registration for Summer
and Fall 2008 semesters. Most of the critical information you need is
included, but if you have any questions, please ask the Registrar's
Office or your advisor.
While Daniel Webster College is committed to helping students achieve
their educational goals, please be aware that you ultimately are
responsible for your own education.
You must meet with your advisor during Course Planning Week,
Monday, March 31 to Friday, April 4, to finalize your course plan for
Summer and Fall 2008.
You are to come to the Registrar's Office during the week of
Monday, April 7 to Friday, April 11, to register for your classes. Come
at your designated time or anytime thereafter.

Curriculum Changes
If you intend to change your major or declare a second major/minor,
notify your advisor of this when you meet during course planning week
and complete the necessary paperwork to return to the Registrar's
Office.
Flight Information
You will need to select a time block if you intend to be in a flight
practicum. If you did not successfully complete one-half of the lessons
for your current practicum by March 7th, do not register for the next
practicum since you may not be able to complete your current practicum
in time to begin the next one in May or August. However, you will need
to select a time block for your current practicum so you can complete
the remaining lessons. The only exception to this is if you plan to
stay this summer and complete your current practicum. If this is the
case, you will need to register for a summer time block using the summer
registration form.
When you register for your other classes, you will be placed on a
list indicating your first choice for a Fall 2008 flight time block and
it will appear on your class schedule as found in SOAR. When the flight
schedule if finalized in September, every effort will be made to keep
you in this time block. However, there may need to be a change
dependent on your flight and academic progress and resource
availability.
Additional Information
You must carry at least 12 credits to be considered full-time
and be eligible for a complete financial assistance package.
Full-time day tuition includes a maximum of 18 credit hours.
Attempting more than 18 credit hours in any one semester (including
Continuing Studies courses) requires approval from your advisor and the
Vice-President for Academic Affairs plus you must have a CPGA of 3.00 or
greater. There is an additional charge for overload credit(s).
If you are attempting to register for a course for which you lack
prerequisites, you must submit a General Purpose Student Request and
