Problems of Late Registration by Students
We are requesting your assistance in solving a serious budgetary problem for the campus. Part of the annual campus budget is determined by the number of students officially enrolled by the end of the third week of classes each semester. In addition, the Office of the President uses fall enrollment counts to determine campus allocations of University Student Aid Program (USAP) funds. As you may know, USAP funds are an important component of department block grant support; thus, registration numbers are directly linked to campus graduate student support funds. This year the total number of undergraduate and graduate students registered beyond our budgeted projections will generate an additional $8,000 per student in income for the campus plus $700 per student in USAP funds.
We ask for your help in ensuring that graduate students register by the established University deadlines for registration and enrollment, but no later than by the end of the third week of classes (September 10, 1999). Please remind your graduate students that to be considered registered they need to (1) enroll in at least one class, (2) pay at least 20% of their fees, and (3) have no blocks on their registration. For your convenience, during the second week of classes we will send you a list of students in your major who have still not satisfied the registration requirements for fall 1999. We would greatly appreciate your following up and notifying each student to register immediately. We remind you that registration and enrollment have always been required criteria for holding an academic appointment and for receiving fee remissions and fellowship support.
Because of the serious budgetary consequences of late registration and enrollment, we must require that students comply with campus policy. Students must be registered and enrolled in at least eight units by the end of the third week of classes in order to maintain their eligibility for any fee remission or fellowship. Students who are not registered by September 10, 1999 will lose their fall 1999 fee remissions; fellowship holders will lose the payment of fees.
If you have questions regarding these issues, please contact Graduate Degrees, 2- 7330; Graduate Appointments, 2- 7101; or Graduate Fellowships, 2-0672. We will send this memo via email to the graduate assistants as well for your convenience in forwarding to graduate students.
