Continuing Registration
Currently enrolled students are
expected to register for the
upcoming semester or term during
the current semester by
participating in continuing
registration. During this period,
students generally have a better
chance of getting the courses they
want at the desired time periods.
The Registration Information
newspaper and web have
instructions for advising and
registering via the web.
Open Registration
Students who do not participate in
Continuing Registration may
register by web in the days
immediately preceding the start of
the semester. Students should
consult the appropriate unit section
for procedures for students wishing
to register in this fashion. A late
payment fee of $50.00 may be
assessed when student accounts
are not financially settled by the
end of the first week of classes.
E-Mail Notification
The university will use the e-mail
system to remind students of some
academic and financial deadlines
as well as notification of cancelled
courses. Please plan to check your
campus e-mail account regularly,
especially the week prior to the
beginning of classes and the first
several weeks of each semester.

University Policies

carry such additional work outside
of this school must secure
permission of the deans in both
schools and must report the fact
and the amount so carried to the
registrar during the time for
registration. Violation of this
regulation may lead to loss of
credit for the semester.
Undergraduates taking graduate
courses
Courses at the 600 level are
ordinarily open only to graduate
students. With the advisor's
approval and special permission of
the undergraduate dean, the
graduate dean, and the instructor,
seniors in their final semester may
enter 600-level graduate courses.
A "Permission to Enter Graduate
Level Courses" form, available in
the Dean's Office, must be used for
this procedure. When such courses
replace courses in the
undergraduate curriculum, they
cannot be used for subsequent
graduate credit. If such course
work is beyond the total
requirements for the baccalaureate
degree, it can be considered for
subsequent graduate credit upon
the student's admission to the
Graduate School.
Dental Hygiene Program
Admitted Upper Division Level
Dental Hygiene students obtain
their schedule of required courses
from the Dental Hygiene Program
and the Office of Student Affairs in
the School of Dentistry.
For the Bachelor of Science in
Dental Hygiene degree, thirty (30)
of the last thirty-six (36) semester
credit hours must be completed at
the University of Louisville School
of Dentistry.

institution
A student may choose to complete
a nonprofessional course in another

must be given to take a
professional course at another

prior to the student enrolling in the
professional course at another
institution. A student may enroll in

Speed School of Engineering

Undergraduates taking graduate
courses
Undergraduate students who are
within 6 semester hours of
completing baccalaureate
requirements may register in 600-
level graduate courses, with the
permission of the instructor and
the Associate Dean for Academic
Affairs. It is understood that such
courses will replace courses in the

and therefore cannot be used for
subsequent graduate credit.
Subsequent graduate credit can be
obtained only if these courses have
not been used to satisfy part of
baccalaureate requirements, and if
the recommendation of the
chairman of the department
involved and the approval of the
Associate Dean are obtained.
