Frequently Asked QuestionsRegistration
I attend the Rollins Arts & Sciences Program
I attend another institution (Transient)Courses
TuitionMiscellaneousThere are three phases of registration. Students who have 90+ hours earned are permitted to register first, followed by current students with less than 89 hours earned, and finally incoming new students. The registration periods are reflected in the calendar that is provided with the term schedule. Students who are enrolled in another college and want to take a course at Rollins as a transient are eligible to register during new student registration. What if a course is full when I try to register? You can place yourself on the wait list during registration by selecting "Wait List" from the pull-down menu before the course title, then clicking on "Submit." We suggest you also register for an alternative course in case a space does not open for you in the wait-listed one. **Waitlisting yourself for a course is not a guarantee for registration.** How does the wait list process work? The wait list process is intended to provide a fair and consistent means to deal with the reality of maximum course capacities. The waiting lists are overseen by the Holt School administration, not individual faculty members, so faculty overrides are not accepted. Students are placed on the list by date and time of inquiry and will be contacted if spaces become available through student-initiated registration changes and/or increased capacities. Students may not attend courses for which they are wait-listed. Registration will not be permitted in such cases. Can I ask the professor for an override / Can I go to the first class and see if there are spaces? Do not attend a course you are waitlisted for, and do not ask professors for an override. They know about the wait list system and they cannot make the decision to let you in ahead of the other students on the list. **Please be sure your contact information is current if you join a waitlist. If the number we call isn't working, we move to the next person on the list.** How will I know if a space opens up in a waitlisted course? If an opening becomes available, we start calling students on the waitlist. It has the names arranged according to the date and time the student joined the waitlist, with the earliest first. You may accept or decline to add the course when you are called. If we leave a message, you have until 5 o'clock the following day to return the call before we go on to the next name. If you accept, you must fill out a drop/add form to add the course. **Please be sure your contact information is current if you join a waitlist. If the number we call isn't working, we move to the next person on the list.** Can I take a course offered during the day hours? Holt students who have attended at least one full year may apply to take degree courses offered by other Rollins programs. Cross-enrollments are limited in order to ensure sufficient spaces in programs for the populations they are intended to serve. Interested Holt students should contact their program adviser for details and procedures. Some courses are offered as shared, or cross-listed, courses. Such courses are designated with an X suffix on the section number. Usually, half of the spaces in cross-listed courses are available to students attending in the day, and the other half to Holt students. In most cases, no special permission is required to register for these courses. How can I register for a course for personal enrichment? If you have a Rollins degree: submit an application form by the application deadline. If you have a degree from another institution: submit an application form and fee, and an official transcript showing your degree by the application deadline. All other personal enrichment applicants: submit an application and fee and official transcripts from any college you have attended (high school transcript if no college) by the application deadline. **Personal enrichment students register at Late Registration on a space-available basis.** I do not need college credit. How can I register for a course as an audit student? An "audit student" may take a college course without receiving academic credit. The tuition is reduced by 50%. Audit students are eligible to register for courses the day after new student registration on a space available bases. Priority is givien to degree seeking students. Holt School will not override for an audit registration. How do I register for a summer class? A&S students may register for summer courses through the Holt School. An application is not necessary. A&S students should note that summer tuition is not included as part of their annual tuition and payment is due at the time or registration. Also, it is the student's responsibility to confirm if a course would fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Please see A&S Instructions for detailed registration instructions and policies. Can I take an evening class during the Fall or Spring terms? A&S students can apply to take an evening course during the Fall and Spring terms by submitting a form to the Office of Student Records located in the Mills Building on campus. Registrations are considered and approved on a course-by-course basis. Holt School cannot register A&S students during the Fall and Spring terms. Will Holt School general education requirements transfer to A&S? A&S students are responsible for confirming their course selection with their academic adviser. Holt School staff cannot verify general education requirements for A&S students. Holt School is not responsible for incorrect registrations. Can I take a course at Holt and transfer it back to my school? Transient students must submit a completed application form and fee by the application deadline and provide a letter from their home institution stating the course(s) that has been approved for transfer. When can I register (as a transient student)? Transient students are eligible to register during new student registration. Priority registration is given to current Rollins College degree-seeking students. Holt School students may check the availability of or order textbooks by going to the Rice Family Bookstore located Holt Avenue on main campus or online via the eFollett.com website for Rollins College. How do I know if a class is cancelled due to inclement weather? If the College determines that classes should be cancelled due to dangerous weather or a hurricane, announcements will be provided to the local media, and there will be a telephone broadcast posted on the Rollins College system, as well as the Holt School number. How do I make a payment on line? To pay tuition, first log into the FoxLink. From there you will be directed to a secured site where you will enter payment information. You can use MasterCard credit card or E-Check. Detailed instructions are available at that site. Why can't you tell me my grade over the phone? Grades are confidential and we cannot confirm identity over the phone. FoxLink provides a more immediate, secure, and confidential way for students to access grade information.
