When the Schedule Goes Live
STUDENTS SHOULD:

Students should ensure they are on track to graduate by reviewing all graded coursework and transfer credits in Ladder and that it is being applied appropriately to their requirements. If a student has any questions or finds any discrepancies, they should make an appointment with their advisor and review the Ladder together.
Check-in with their Advisor.

Registration Time Tickets
Registration time tickets are based on overall earned hours (institutionally earned credit + transfer credit). Students are able to view their earned credit by following the instructions above to view their registration status for the term the Thursday before registration week. Additionally, students can view their earned credit on the web version of their academic transcript; click here for instructions on how to view. Ladder shows both earned and in progress hours and should NOT be referenced when determining earned hours.

Dropping a Class With or Without a W
- Login to Treehouse and select “Register/Add or Drop Classes” from the “Registration Tools” box under the “Student” tab.
- Under the Action column next to the class you want to drop. Click the down arrow and, depending on the date in the term, select “Web Drop No W” or “Full Withdraw with W” from the drop-down.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Submit Changes.”
- Verify your class status(es) are correct before leaving the screen. If you selected “Web Drop No W,” the class should no longer show on your schedule.
Students with a Registration-Blocking Hold: If you have a registration-blocking hold on your account and need to drop a class, you must submit a class drop request by clicking HERE. Requests must be submitted by the drop deadline, 11:59 PM.
Dropping a class without a W occurs during the add/drop period and removes a class completely from a student’s schedule and record. This only happens if a student drops a class before the term starts or during the add/drop period at the beginning of the term. It is only used for a student who never attended or only attended within the add/drop period at the start of a term.
Dropping a class with a W is withdrawing from a class in which the student attended after the add/drop period ended. The class remains on the student’s schedule, is counted towards the student’s time status, will receive a W grade, and is included in financial assessment. The W grade does not effect a student’s GPA, but is visible on the transcript.
