Registration
Procedures for New Students
The
College has changed its registration procedures to make them
more convenient for students. This memorandum outlines
steps necessary to complete the process.
We
use a term that may require some explanation. The College
assigns a mentor to each
first year student to ensure that the student has the best
possible opportunity for success. In addition to teaching
the student about college life and serving as someone the
student can trust to confide in or provide answers, the mentor
serves as an academic advisor. Mentors
ensure that students select appropriate
courses and that they are properly scheduled.
| 1. |
Students
get a user name and password so they can access the Newberry
College Student Account Center. |
| |
- Once
a student has been admitted, the Information Technology
department will create a user name/password for that
student.
- The
Admissions and Financial Aid Department will send
a letter to each student containing that information.
|
| |
|
| 2. |
Financial
Aid (FA) will prepare and post online award letters for
any students who have been admitted, have completed a
FAFSA, and have been given an estimator. |
| |
-
FA will send each student a post card to tell him
that his award is posted on line for him to accept
and process.
|
| |
|
| 3. |
Student
completes the financial aid process. (You
may click here for Financial Aid Processing Instructions.)
|
| |
- Student
reviews the award letter on the site, selects which
awards he wants, and makes a decision about the methods
used to pay the bill.
- The
site contains an explanation of the billing process,
what payments are required/when, and the alternative
methods that are available to pay the bill.
-
Student completes the required responses on the award
site, including indicating which means he’ll
use to pay bill.
- Student
prints out the required documents, depending on the
alternatives he chose to pay the bill, and mails them
to AFAC or FA.
- AFAC
checks to see if payment information is complete,
and assists students regarding incomplete items.
|
| |
|
| 4. |
When
payment plans are complete and Admissions has the student’s
final transcript, AFAC requests the Director of Financial
Aid to release the student to allow him to register. |
| |
|
| 5. |
The
Director of Financial Aid notifies the Director of the
Student Academic Support Center that the student is cleared
to register. |
| |
|
| 6. |
The Director of the Academic Support Center creates
an academic file for the student, then ensures the student
is in the appropriate Math and English course. |
| |
|
| 7. |
The Director of the Academic Support Center forwards the
folder to the mentor, then sends email to both mentor
and student, saying the student can now register. |
| |
|
| 8. |
Student
and mentor complete the registration process |
| |
- Mentor
contacts the student, explaining the process, verifying
the degree sought, and asking the student to select
appropriate courses and fit them into a schedule.
- Student
presents mentor with a proposed schedule.
- Mentor
reviews the proposal and discusses any necessary adjustments
with the student.
- Mentor
