Registration
Students must be officially registered prior to the start date of course(s) in order to participate in and receive academic credit for those courses. It is the student's responsibility to review their registration and academic records each semester for accuracy and to promptly notify their program office/advisor of any discrepancies. Students have no more than 20 days from the end of a semester/term to resolve any discrepancies. After that, a student's academic record for the semester/term is sealed.
A student will only be permitted to petition and receive consideration for a retroactive drop, withdrawal, or refund for a course more than 20 days after the end of the semester or term if he or she has extenuating circumstances and provides appropriate documentation (e.g., medical records, death in family, etc.).

FINANCIAL HOLDS
A Bursar Hold prevents all student services including registering for classes, obtaining enrollment/degree verifications, and accessing the University RecPlex until all outstanding balances are paid in full.

ROSTER RECONCILIATION
Students are expected to attend the first class session in order to receive important information about the course, unless they obtain approval before the first class meeting from the instructor for an intended absence. University policy requires that each faculty member reconciles and validates the accuracy of their class roster during the second week of the semester/term as determined by the approved Nova Southeastern University academic calendar. Any student deemed as a non-attendee may be "drop-deleted" (DD'd) from the class roster by the Office of the University Registrar.
It remains the students' responsibility to monitor class registration status in accordance with the Student Enrollment Agreement (SEA) and their university student handbook policy, regardless of the instructor’s roster reconciliation submission.
Students who believe they were reported in error as non-attendees must communicate with the instructor who is the only one able to correct the record.
STUDENT ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT (SEA)
All students must complete the Student Enrollment Agreement (SEA) in order to register for classes. The SEA requires students to agree with NSU standards and policies regarding course registration and withdrawal, financial responsibility, a release of liability, and more. Students registering for courses will be prompted to agree to the SEA conditions as part of the registration process.
