Commencement Sign-Up Week
Those students wishing to participate in the upcoming May Commencement ceremony are required to
sign up during the week of February 25 to March 1 with the Registrar's Office.
Students should preferably sign-up when Jostens is on campus February 27 - March 1 in the Todd Wehr Hall Lobby to take orders for Caps and Gowns,
Appreciation Certificates, Class Rings, Announcements, and Commemorative Tassels. Details and invitations will be sent to elgibile
seniors soon from the Registrar's Office via email. More information on ordering graduation products directly from Jostens
is available on our Graduation webpage.
Last Day for Course Withdrawals
The last day to withdraw from a course without receiving a failing grade is Thursdayday, April 4th. If you are not doing well in one
or more classes this semester, you might want to seriously consider the option you have of withdrawing from the course now and avoid ending up with
an F in the course and on your permanent record. If you intend to withdraw, use the
Course Withdrawal Form available on-line or in the Registrar's Office. There are some common misconceptions regarding withdrawing from a course including how it will effect grades, scholarships, insurance,
probation status, etc. Please call the Registrar's Office at ext. 3216 with your withdrawal questions.
Applying to Graduate ? What is the first step ?
Advanced Juniors and Seniors who haven't already done so, should apply to graduate via the Graduation Application Form.
In February, the Registrar's Office posts a list of those students who have applied on the Graduation web site.
Spring Break, No Classes, March 9 - 17
Spring Break runs March 9 thru the 17th. There are no classes the week of March 11 - 15th however the Registrar's Office will be open for normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
New Core Curriculum for Students Entering 2012 and 2013
The faculty recently approved changes in the General Education Program to begin with the addition of a foreign language competency
requirement in the Fall of 2013. A new general education program, the Core Curriculum, will be put in place for students entering
Fall 2013. Please refer to the Core Curriculum links for further details.
Navigating Closed Courses - Information on Waitlists
When a course closes in KnightLine, a student will now receive an error message that the course is full and they will be
informed of the number of students on the waitlist. They then have the opportunity to “add” the waitlist. No more checking KnightLine
hourly or daily to see if a seat is now available. Waitlists have a default prioritization of class order and then date/time of entrance
(i.e. Seniors first, then Juniors and sorted by first-come first-served status). This means that a student who is first onto the list
will not necessarily remain first, as the waitlist is dynamic and resets itself depending on who adds onto the waitlist.
If you experience a first-choice closed course, you can go ahead – register for your first choice getting onto the waitlist – and then
build an alternative registration schedule should things not work out. Students trying to add into a waitlist will still need to meet
all the normal course pre-requisites, restrictions, etc. EXCEPT for time conflicts. A student can add one section of a course and be
waitlisted on a preferred section. A student is not limited in the number of waitlists they can be on.
Once a position opens up in a course, the student will be issued a PRIORITY WAITLIST TICKET or notice, via SNC email that they have
48 HOURS to add the course in question in KnightLine. IF THEY MISS THE 48 HOUR WINDOW, their ticket EXPIRES, the next student on
the list is notified, and the first student is REMOVED from the waitlist. Students can drop a waitlist whenever they choose.
Students can see their waitlisted courses on their schedules, as can advisors, along with their current position on the waitlist.
Waitlisting closes at midnight before classes, and normal add/drop procedures will then take place.
When encountering a closed course, don't automatically add the waitlist. Consider how many students are already on the list and whether
an alternative can be found that is satisfactory. Being on a waitlist doesn't ensure entrance into the course, so plan accordingly.
Don't register for a partial schedule, hoping you will gain entrance, register for the best - full schedule that you can.
Be courteous to your fellow classmates - if your plans change - go into KnightLine and drop yourself from the waitlist. That
way if a spot opens up for you and you are no longer interested in adding the class, time isn't wasted while you ignore your
priority ticket until it expires.
In Development: KnightCAPP - Curriculum, Advising and Program Planning via KnightLine
KnightCAPP is the St. Norbert College on-line degree audit and advising planning system that will be used by
students and advisors to track individual progress toward the completion of one's chosen degree requirements.
This system tracks progress toward the completion of degree, core program/general education, major, and any chosen minor requirements. It is currently
in the planning and pre-production stages with a target roll out for the 2013 academic year.
 The Registrar's Office has
moved to the Todd Wehr Hall as part of the new Consolidated Student Service Center.
The Registrar's Office is now located in Todd Wehr Room 141. The Registrar's Office will or has been
joined with many other Student Services such as Financial Aid, Bursar, Career Services, Residential Education
and Housing, Payroll, Advising and the Bookstore. From off campus we are located in Building 15 on the Campus Parking Map
and Visitor Parking is available in lots P14 or P11.
