Summer registration

Registration opens next Monday for summer I and summer II 2018. Priority registration will go through Friday, Feb. 9. The complete registration schedule is available online.

Textbooks

According to the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), we are required to publish textbook information with our course offerings. As of last week, there were 680 summer I and 408 summer II sections without a textbook. This means that we are only 47% in compliance for summer I and 57% in compliance for summer II.

Please ensure that this information is submitted as soon as possible.  In addition to compliance, timely submission of textbook information is important as students have the ability to view and purchase course materials during the registration process.  

Please note, the deadline for fall 2018 textbook submission is February 9. 

Grading

Grading for the Fall 2017 semester has been closed. Students who were not issued a grade by the instructor have been given an incomplete. Instructors can remove the "I" grade using the "Remove Incomplete Grade" link on the Faculty menu in GoWMU.
