Navigating university policies can sometimes be challenging, especially when it comes to course registration. At Arizona State University’s W. P. Carey School of Business, understanding the procedures for course enrollment, particularly late registration, is crucial for students. A key component of the W. P. Carey undergraduate experience is the Career Navigation program. This program is designed to guide students through their academic and professional journey. A common question among students is: How Many Courses Make Up The Career Navigation Program Asu? This article will clarify the structure of the Career Navigation program and provide a comprehensive guide to the late registration process for W. P. Carey School of Business courses.
The W. P. Carey School of Business Career Navigation program is built around a series of dedicated courses designed to support students at each stage of their academic career. Specifically, the Career Navigation program consists of five key courses:
- WPC 148
- WPC 248
- WPC 347
- WPC 348
- WPC 448
These courses are strategically designed to provide students with career exploration opportunities, skill development, and professional networking prospects throughout their undergraduate studies. It’s important to note that while these courses are integral to career development, understanding university policies, such as late registration, is equally vital for academic success.
Late Registration Policy for W. P. Carey Business Courses
Registering for courses on time is always recommended. However, the W. P. Carey School of Business understands that sometimes students may need to add a course after the regular drop/add deadline. It is possible to request late registration for a Business class, but it’s essential to be aware of the conditions and process involved.
Key Conditions for Late Registration:
- Course Availability: The course you wish to add must still be open and have available seats.
- Prerequisites: You must meet all the listed prerequisites for the course.
- Exception, Not a Guarantee: Late registration is an exception to university policy. Approval is not guaranteed and is based on various factors.
- No Late Drops for Business Courses: The W. P. Carey School of Business does not consider requests to late drop courses. If you need to remove a course after the drop/add deadline, you must initiate a withdrawal through My ASU. A withdrawal results in a ‘W’ grade on your transcript, which does not impact your GPA.
Important Note for Course Swapping: If you are adding a business course and dropping a non-business course after the deadline, the W. P. Carey School of Business can only approve the addition of the business course. You are responsible for withdrawing from the non-business course yourself via My ASU or contacting the college offering the non-business course for assistance.
Before initiating a late add request, ensure that all registration overrides and holds are resolved.
How to Request Late Registration: Step-by-Step Guide
The late add process for W. P. Carey School of Business courses can be completed electronically via email, offering a convenient and efficient method.
Electronic Late Add Process:
-
Complete the Enrollment Change Request Form: Begin by filling out the Enrollment Change Request form. This form is essential for formally requesting a late course add.
-
Obtain Instructor Approval: The next crucial step is to get approval from the course instructor. This approval can be in the form of a signature on the Enrollment Change Request form or an email from the instructor explicitly approving your late add request. Exception: For Accountancy (ACC) courses, you can proceed directly to step 3.
-
Seek Department Approval: After obtaining instructor approval (if required), you must get approval from the academic department that offers the specific course. This can be done by visiting the relevant W. P. Carey academic department/unit in person or emailing the completed form (with instructor approval, if applicable) to the department. Contact information for each department is provided in the table below.
-
Undergraduate Office Review: The academic department/unit will then forward your complete request to the W. P. Carey Undergraduate office for final review and decision.
-
Notification of Decision: You will receive an email notification regarding the status of your late add request. If your request is approved, you will be copied on an email sent to the Registrar’s Office, instructing them to add the course to your schedule.
Processing Time: Please allow 1–2 business days for the processing of your late add request. If approved, the Enrollment Change Request form will be emailed to the Registrar’s Office, and you will be included in the email communication for your records.
