Students are expected to pay for classes when they register. The College sets specific dates each semester when students’ courses are auto-dropped from their schedule for non-payment. These dates are published on the College Academic Calendar. Ultimately, it is the student’s responsibility to track his/her class schedule. Students who register after the last drop for non-payment date are responsible for charges regardless of whether they attend class.
No, but you should see your advisor to review your degree plan prior to registration, especially if you are a new student or if you have changed your major or program of study.
A regular semester lasts 16 weeks. A mini term lasts 8 weeks. Regular semester classes typically meet two days per week while mini classes meet every day. Many students prefer the daily mini term classes because they provide more focus on the material.
You must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours to be considered a full-time student. However, you are encouraged to enroll in 15 credit hours each semester to stay on track for earning your degree. Financial Aid options may also have credit hour requirements. Student loans require enrollment in at least 6 credit hours. Most scholarships require 15 credit hours. It’s important to know the terms of your scholarship/financial aid and follow them carefully. Also consider how many semesters you plan to be at Snead and how many semesters your financial aid will cover. For example, if you do not plan to attend Summer terms, you will probably need to take more than 12 hours during the Fall and Spring terms.
Most degree plans require the same basic classes, so freshmen – especially those who haven’t declared a major – can register for courses such as Speech, English, Math, Science and History. Students whose placement scores indicate needed developmental courses should take those within the first two semesters of enrollment. All students should strive to take Math and English courses in the first semester as well. Some courses are only offered during certain semesters, and some have prerequisites you must complete before registering for the class. This information is outlined in the course description portion of the College Catalog.
Students are encouraged to speak with an advisor when first developing the course selection. You may visit the Advising Center, located in the Story Administration Building, or visit www.snead.edu/advising for more information.
