Course Registration

Registration generally begins in November for Spring semesters and in April for Fall semesters. Please see the Registration Schedule below and check our Academic Calendars for important semester dates and deadlines.

The Course Catalog in Student Planning is available for planning future classes at any time. Term schedules are typically available the Friday before the Undergraduate Advising Period begins. Students may not register before their assigned day and time, but may register at any point afterward. Get advised, finalize your schedule, and register as soon as your appointment begins! You then increase your chances of getting the schedule you need.

All registration is conducted online in ServiceHub/Student Planning. Detailed instructions and frequently asked questions about Student Planning and the registration process may be found under the FAQ section below.

The first week of online registration is staggered by appointments for current undergraduate students. Notifications are sent to each student's Mville email account with their specific registration start date and time.

Repeating Courses for Undergraduates

Undergraduate students may repeat up to five courses during their degree program career to take advantage of the University's Undergraduate Grade Replacement Policy. Repeat courses at the 1000, 2000, and 3000 level cannot be registered online in Student Planning. Students wishing to repeat a course must obtain permission from their advisor and submit an approved add/drop form to the Registrar's Office. Details of the Undergraduate Grade Replacement Policy may be found in the Undergraduate Catalog.

Undergraduate General Education Requirements

Course Adds, Drops, Withdrawals, and Auditing

Add/Drop

Students are given the opportunity to change their course schedule during the Add/Drop period, which lasts for approximately one week at the beginning of each semester. Please check the Academic Calendar for the Add/Drop deadline for each semester. Changes made during this period are not reflected on the student's permanent academic record. Most students can add and drop online through ServiceHub/Student Planning.

Full time undergraduates are required to carry a minimum 12-credit course load by the end of the Add/Drop period. Failure to do so may jeopardize eligibility for benefits available to full-time students (e.g. financial aid, scholarships, health coverage, etc.) and will violate campus housing occupancy policies.

Withdrawal from Classes

Students have the option to withdraw from courses until the withdrawal deadline for each term, as published in the Academic Calendar. Course withdrawals will be documented permanently on a student's transcript, notated by a grade of "W." A W grade is non-punitive and does not affect the student's GPA. All students must also investigate the impact that course withdrawals may have on their financial aid eligibility.

Withdrawals cannot be submitted online via Student Planning. Please download the appropriate form from the Registrar's Office Forms Library.

Note: If withdrawals are processed after a semester's tuition refund schedule has passed, students are responsible for all tuition charges and fees. Students may submit a Bursar Tuition Appeal to the Student Accounts Office for consideration of special circumstances connected to their withdrawal. Visit the Bursar Tuition Appeals Committee page for more information.

Decision Not to Attend / Drop All Classes Before a Term Begins

Students who decide not to attend classes for which they are registered are not automatically dropped from their classes. Students must follow the procedures below to completely drop a registration or withdraw from the University. Students are fully responsible for all tuition charges and fees for courses that remain on their registration schedule.

Undergraduate Students: Student Planning will prevent an undergraduate student from dropping the last course section from their schedule. If you will not be attending Manhattanville University, please contact the Office of Academic Advisement at 914-323-5353 or academic.advising@mville.edu. An Academic Advisor will formalize withdrawal plans with you. Once the procedure is completed, the Registrar's Office will remove all courses from your registration.

Graduate and Doctoral Students: Student Planning allows graduate and doctoral students to remove every course from their schedule and empty their registration until the end of the Add/Drop period. If you will not be attending Manhattanville University, you may drop all of your courses and contact your advisor or appropriate program office to alert them of your intention not to attend.

Auditing Classes

Auditors are permitted to register for classes after each term's Add/Drop period concludes, on a space-available basis only. Please refer to the online Academic Calendar or posted notices to obtain the exact dates per semester. Students may use ServiceHub to view available courses. A number of filters are available to view our course schedules.

All payments are due at time of registration. The auditing fee can be found here. Auditors also pay the customary registration fee.

Auditors may register for lecture-style courses (i.e. English, history, philosophy). Auditors may not register for courses that require lab or class participation (i.e. art, dance, world languages).

Cross-Registration: Purchase College and Manhattanville University

Manhattanville Undergraduates Taking Courses at Purchase College

Manhattanville University undergraduates may cross-register for classes at SUNY Purchase College, located at 735 Anderson Hill Road, as part of a tuition-free exchange. This option is available to full-time matriculated undergraduate students currently registered for at least 12 credits at Manhattanville. Cross-registration is meant to make courses available to students that are not taught at Manhattanville University. Manhattanville students may register for only one Purchase College course per semester (except for science courses which require a corequisite lab section) and a total of six courses throughout their university career.

Written approval from your advisor and the Manhattanville Registrar's Office must be presented to the Purchase Registrar's Office to cross-register. Students may visit the Purchase College website to review their course schedules and confirm cross-registration dates. The cross-registration form is available from the Registrar's Office Forms Library.

After completing your registration at Purchase, you must submit a confirmation of your registration to the Manhattanville Registrar's Office. Manhattanville students that drive to Purchase College and park must obtain a Purchase campus parking tag at additional cost.

NOTE: Students dropping or withdrawing from a course at Purchase must drop/withdraw with both the Purchase Registrar's Office (Student Services Building, 1st Floor) and the Manhattanville Registrar's Office (Reid Castle, 3rd Floor). Students that withdraw completely from Manhattanville must also withdraw from Purchase College.

Upon completion of your course work at Purchase, an official transcript will be forwarded on your behalf from the Purchase Registrar's Office to the Manhattanville Registrar's Office. You do not need to request or pay for a transcript! Unlike regular transfer credits, the course titles and grades for your Purchase work will appear on your Manhattanville transcript and will be reflected in your grade point average (GPA).

Summer and Winter courses and continuing education courses offered at Purchase are not available for cross registration. Students may elect to take these courses on their own and pay the appropriate tuition and fees. Courses taken at Purchase during Summer and Winter sessions may, with pre-approval, be accepted as transfer credit, but will not be calculated into a Manhattanville GPA. Please visit the Registrar's Office Transfer Credit web page for information on transfer credit pre-approval for coursework from other institutions.

Upon completion of your course work at Manhattanville, an official transcript will be forwarded on your behalf from the Manhattanville Registrar's Office to the Purchase Registrar's Office. You do not need to request or pay for a transcript!
