Registrar

From registering students for classes to providing course descriptions to fulfilling request for transcripts, the registrar’s office at Concordia University, Nebraska is one of the busiest places on campus.

Students and alumni flock here to learn more about course offerings (PDF), obtain registration materials and access the academic calendar and course schedules.

The registrar’s office schedules dates for registration, which is only complete when satisfactory arrangements have been made with the business office for payment of tuition and fees. Here are some important facts to keep in mind when registering for courses:

• Lower level courses are numbered 100-299 and are normally taken by freshmen and sophomores. Upper level courses are numbered 300-499 and are normally reserved for registration of juniors and seniors, 400-series courses offer graduate credit for students who are eligible and 500-series courses are for graduate credit only.
• A lower level student may, with the approval of an adviser, register for upper level courses if the student is in the second semester of the sophomore year and has met the prerequisites as designated in the catalog course descriptions, or, because of unusual pre-college preparation is equipped to take advanced courses in certain prescribed areas.
• A normal load for a full-time student is 16 semester credit hours. Students may register for as many as 18 semester hours if they demonstrate the capability to carry a heavier course load and meet grade point average requirements as established by faculty policy. Conditionally admitted students and students on academic probation are limited to the number of credit hours established by the terms of their enrollment.
• One semester hour is normally equivalent to one 50-minute period of class recitation or lecture per week for 15 weeks. Two hours of study time should be reserved for each class meeting.
• Census date is the last date for course enrollment in a given term. No changes in course registration may be made after census date.
• A student registering for applied music courses must make arrangements for practice periods and must personally select the time for practice. Registration for applied music courses is incomplete until the student makes such arrangements.
