Registration

On-Line Course Registration Period: March 26- May 8, 2018

Students will have the opportunity to request summer courses on-line beginning midnight on March 26, and continuing until 11:59 pm on May 8.

Directed Study or Independent Study : Students wishing to register for a Directed Study or Independent Study course during the summer must register in-person for the full ten-week summer session on Monday, June 4. Permission to enroll in a Directed or Independent Study course should be obtained from the instructor prior to registering for the course. A written study plan that details the nature of the project and the amount of credit must be approved by the instructor as well as the department chair or the chair's designee by the end of the change period in June (the first four days of classes in the first summer session). If a student's study plan has not been approved by that time, the student will be dropped from the course.

Change of Course : Students must observe the deadlines and procedures regarding course changes for the school in which they are enrolled, regardless of which school offers the course. Deadlines for the change period (adding or dropping courses with no entry on record) are listed in the Summer Session at Vanderbilt Calendar. Subsequent to the above-referenced deadlines, dropping a course will result in an entry of W on the student's record. When dropping a course after the change period a signature of the instructor will be required and may require the permission of other persons. Students should consult the Arts and Science Registrar's Office for the proper procedure.

Enrollment Verification: Please check on-line registration on YES for enrollment verification.
