Dates for
registration are listed in the
class schedule made
available prior to each semester. This schedule is only available
online. Registration at Dixie is accomplished online,
or by coming to the Registrar’s office or advisement office in person.
Adding and
Dropping Full Classes. To
add a full class, the student must ask the instructor, and the
instructor must sign an add card. The college has implemented a policy
that Add cards will not override course prerequisites or placement
criteria for basic skills courses (English and math), unless the add
card has been signed by the appropriate department chair or dean. The
chair or dean may be contacted through campus information at 652-7500.
Adding and
Dropping Non-Traditional Session Classes.
Students may
add or drop non-traditional session classes (classes which do not begin
or end with regular session classes) at the Registrar’s office.
Deadlines for adding and dropping non-traditional session classes are
published in the semester class schedule. To add a non-traditional
session class after the first day of the class is complete, students
must have an add card signed by the instructor and must bring the card
to the Registrar’s office for processing. To add a non-traditional
session class after 25% of the class is complete, permission of the
Academic Appeals Committee is required.
Students may
withdraw from individual non-traditional session classes only during the
first half of the non-traditional session courses. After that time
students may drop a non-traditional session class only with the written
approval of the Academic Appeals Committee.
Students who wish
to audit a non-traditional session course must fill out an audit card in
the Registrar’s office. A grade of “AU“ will be given and may not be
changed to any other grade. All audit cards must be submitted prior to
50% of the completion of the course.
Students are
expected to attend all classes for which they are registered unless the
class is officially dropped from their schedule.
Student
Responsibility. It is the
responsibility of each student to ensure the accuracy of their
schedule. Accuracy of schedule should be checked at each of these
times:
- At the time
of registration.
- When a class
is added or dropped.
- If the first
day of class is missed for any reason.
- Before the
last day to add, drop or audit classes.
Students may check
their class schedule at any time online, by
going to the counseling office, or Registrar’s office. Students who
will not be at the first class meeting for any reason must inform the
instructor prior to class time or they may be withdrawn.
Late
Registration. Students who
register after a specified date (see semester course schedule) will be
charged a late fee and will be required to register for classes at the
Registrar’s office.
Class Load.
Freshman students should
register for approximately 16 credits each semester to complete 63
semester credits within a two year period for an associate degree
(summer semester not included). Students should prepare to study a
minimum of two hours outside of class for every hour spent in class.
Excess Credit.
Maximum registration without
special permission is 20 credit hours per semester. To register for more
than 20 credits per semester, permission must be obtained from the
student’s department chair, the director of advisement, or the college
registrar. The student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (B
average).
Requirement for
First-Time Freshmen. All
first-time freshmen must attend an orientation session before
registering. A first-time freshman may sign up and receive more
information at http://oandr.dixie.edu or call (435) 652-7690.
House Bill 60 -
Senior Citizen Registration.
Senior citizens who are residents of
the state of Utah and are 62 years or older can sign up for an unlimited
number of Dixie State College classes for a one-time $35 admission fee
and a $10 per semester fee with the following steps:
- Fill out the
admission application, pay the one-time $35 admission fee and submit
it to the Registrar’s office.

Registration takes place on the first day of classes on a SPACE
AVAILABLE basis.
- Classes can
be taken on an audit basis only; not for credit.
- Pay any
special fees which may be attached to a class.
NOTE: There are some classes which are
not available under this program, including ALL computer classes, some
FCS classes and fitness classes.
Audit Course
Registration. Students who
register to audit a course are considered regular students in
determining part-time or full-time registration and are charged regular
tuition and fees. Because of limited space, some courses may not be open
to audit students. To audit, students must fill out an audit card at the
Registrar’s Office. The grade of AU will be given at that time and may
not be changed to any other grade. The deadline for submitting an audit
card is the end of the fifth week of the semester for full semester
classes.
Withdrawal From
College. Students are
permitted to completely withdraw from school until the end of the 12th
week of the semester. Complete withdrawals must be initiated in the
advisement and counseling office. Current class schedules list pro-rated
withdrawal dates for block and summer classes.
Administrative
Withdrawal (see
Administrative Withdrawal Policy 5-44 and Student Tuition and Fee
Payment Policy 5-17). Students may be administratively withdrawn for
the following reasons:
- Not attending
class on the first day of class, without receiving special
permission from the teaching faculty member.
- Registering
for courses for which the pre-requisites have not been met (see
Academic Assessment).
- Neglecting to
pay tuition and fees for any given semester by the end of the 3rd
week of the semester. This type of administrative withdrawal has
previously been referred to as a “purge."
- Registering
for a class without following proper procedure when there is a
"hold" placed on registration due to low scholastic status (see
Scholastic Standards).
- For other
appropriate reasons at the approval of the dean and department
chair.
