Returning Student Registration is open to currently enrolled students shortly after the mid-point of each quarter. Students who have been out only one quarter may request to register with returning students by completing a Student Update Form in the Office of Student Affairs by the third week of the quarter. Returning student registration is not available to Special Status or Transient students.
NOTE: Students may not register by phone but may schedule an appointment with program advisors
by phoning or, preferably, by emailing. In determining quarterly schedules, the online version is the most
accurate list of available classes; changes are updated regularly.
Open Registration (new student registration) begins one week after returning student registration begins and allows for registration of new students who have been admitted in the first part of the quarter and those who are admitted during the time leading up to the final day of open registration and orientation, scheduled quarterly at each campus.
Late Registration is open to all students who do not take advantage of early registration or the open registration period, or who apply by the application deadline for late registration. Late registration is held on each campus the business day immediately prior to the first day of each quarter.
Drop/Add is scheduled the first three days of each academic quarter Students wishing to make changes to their schedules must do so by the third day of the quarter. Students may drop or add courses during this period. Courses dropped during Drop/Add will not appear on the student’s official academic record. Withdrawal from one or more courses before or during the Drop/Add period will not incur tuition or fee penalties or appear on a student’s academic record. Students who need to withdraw from one or more courses after the third day of the quarter must do so either by completing a Drop Form, available in the Registrar’s office or by emailing registrar@westgatech.edu. The course(s) will be included on the student’s transcript.
