Formal admission to the School of Management and Labor Relations (SMLR) and payment (or arrangement with the cashier regarding payment) of tuition and fees are a part of the registration process. Students who have not properly registered may not attend classes.

All students who complete registration on time receive registration information for the following semester. Those who take part in registration receive term bills for the following semester. All students, regardless of method of payment, must make contact with the cashier each semester or their registration will be canceled.

Students who do not receive registration information by March 15 for the fall semester and by October 15 for the spring semester should contact the appropriate department. Newly admitted students receive complete registration instructions at the time of their admission.

It is the responsibility of the student to remain in communication with the director of the program for which he or she is matriculated.

A student admitted into a degree program of SMLR is expected to remain registered in every fall and spring semester thereafter until completing the program and earning the degree. If a student anticipates requiring a leave of absence for a semester, he or she may register for matriculation continued status. Any student who fails to maintain continuous registration may not resume formal study or register again in SMLR without first applying for readmission. Master's degree students may apply for readmission after up to two semesters during which they were not registered. After two semesters, they must file a new application.
