Register For Spring Courses
(Veterans please see Post 911 GI Bill update below)
All registration is done online through your MyBenU account. If you do not have access to a computer please stop by Ben Central Krasa 169. Located next to the bookstore.

ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS:
Waitlist are void on midnight Sunday, January 17th. "First come first serve" rule applies for all waitlists that were not autoenrolled by the system by midnight. While waitlist are voided on Sunday at midnight waitlist status will still appear on your account (it just will not be an active waitlist). If an instructor approves you into his/her class it is the students responsibility to follow through immediately with officially registering for that class(s).

All students now will need pin numbers to enroll in a class if it is showing as closed (even if there may be open seats, or if the student is currently on the waitlist and there are open seats). The instructor has full control over who enrolls in the class, if the class is closed. If the class is open and there is no wait list, then there is open registration through the week, until next Sunday evening, midnight, when add/drop has expired. See additional waitlisted note below.

POLICY INFORMATION from the Registrars Office:

New Academic Policy Approved for Implementation effective as of Fall 2009

Repetition of Courses

For courses taken at Benedictine University, undergraduate students, both degree seeking and students-at-large, may repeat a course in which they received grades of W, D, or F no more than two times. Students may not repeat any course in which they receive a grade of C or better. When a course is repeated for credit, the earlier earned grade remains on the student's permanent record and will appear on all transcripts. Only the last enrollment and earned grade will be used in computing the cumulative grade point average and awarding of credit. If a student wishes to repeat a course originally taken at Benedictine University and in which an earned grade was received, the repeat must be a course at Benedictine University. A repeat may not be by independent study or by study at another institution. The Academic Standing Committee may provide exceptions to this policy. An earned grade is a grade of A, B, C, D, and F.

Students who have graduated may not repeat a course for credit in which they earned a grade of A, B, C, or D previously. A student who has graduated may only audit a course in which they previously earned credit.

New Chem 113 Pre-Requisite
(Effective Fall 2009)

Chem 113- Pre-Requisite: Math 110 with a "C" or better or Placement into Math 111 or Higher, and one year high school chemistry.
