Spring 2008: Registration Important Information

Spring 2008 Registration - Chippewa Valley Center Important Information

Undergraduate and MBA

Thank you for registering for classes at Lakeland College. Please read and keep the following important information for future reference.

Beginning with the Spring 2008 Semester, it is up to each instructor whether to assign a first night homework assignment. Instructors who assign homework prior to the first class meeting will inform students of this via email and/or on Blackboard. Therefore, it is imperative that your email address is correctly listed in the college's database. If you have recently changed your email address, please call our office to make the change in our system. Blackboard should be activated for students a few days before classes begin.

Monday, January 21, is the last day to change a class from four to three or three to four credits. An add/drop form must be completed to make the switch. Please contact us for a form.

• Remember, if you registered online, you should only have done so if you were registering for three credits; four credit registrations were to be hand delivered, mailed or faxed to us.

   

• If you are choosing to do a class at four credits, make sure to get the project from your instructor the first week of class.

   

Lakeland College will refund tuition according to the refund schedule posted each semester in the Class Schedule catalog. In order to qualify for a refund or reversal of charges you must drop or withdraw from class officially by notifying your advisor and submitting the proper form by the dates listed above. (See Important Dates.) No drop/withdrawal is official unless it is approved by your advisor and signed by you. Notifying an instructor or failing to attend class does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal from a course nor does it eliminate the student's financial responsibility for course payment.

Payments can be made at our Chippewa Valley Center . Please keep in mind payment must be made before the first of the month so it can post in time. We accept checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and cash.

All exams must be taken midterm week, and students should take the midterm in class as scheduled. The only exceptions are students who are taking the class BlendEd or Online from another Lakeland College Center (ex. Green Bay or Madison ) or those who have two classes on the same night. Students who have two classes on the same night should attempt to complete both tests on the scheduled night; however, if this is not possible, he/she may have the test proctored by a suitable proctor.

Suitable proctors include library staff, teachers from public or private schools, members of the clergy, staff in training departments, or perhaps supervisors at work. Friends, relatives and co-workers are not considered suitable proctors.

We are aware that the midterm proctoring procedure can be somewhat inconvenient; however, the verification of student work adds validity to the program, resulting in a college degree which holds more value in both the work and academic communities.

If you have any questions about proctoring, please contact either your instructor or the Lakeland College Chippewa Valley Center office before you take the exam.

If you need to have your midterm proctored:

• Contact your instructor and let him/her know you need to set up a proctor. Your instructor will e-mail you the Preliminary Proctor Form.
• Complete and return the Preliminary Proctor Form to your instructor.
• The week before midterms, your instructor will e-mail the midterm exam and appropriate forms to your proctor.
• Contact your proctor to schedule a time to take the test.

• At the Chippewa Valley Center we will hold four proctoring sessions.
• Session 1: February 19, 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
• Session 2: February 20, 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Session 3: February 20, 2:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.
• Session 4, February 21, 9:00 a.m. - Noon
• If these times do not work for you, the Chippewa Falls Public Library will proctor your exams at no cost. Call the Reference Desk at 715-723-1146 for available times and to schedule an appointment. If you need to use a computer, let them know when you schedule your appointment. Make sure they have the computer program you need (such as Excel, Word, etc.)

• Call your proctor to verify the test was received. If your proctor has not received your exam, contact your instructor immediately.
• Meet with your proctor to take the exam. You will need to show proof of identification, so please be ready to provide your driver license.
• You will need to supply your proctor with a 12 ½ x 9 ½ envelope addressed to your instructor.
• Take the exam, when completed, return it to the proctor.
• Fill out the student portion of the proctor form.
• Your proctor will place the exam in the envelope, seal it, and initial across the seal, and then give it back to you for mailing to your instructor.
• Be sure to put adequate postage on the envelope.
• Mail the envelope back to your instructor by the date indicated.

Discounted software is available for Lakeland students and faculty. Visit the following link and click "first time users."  http://elms06.e-academy.com/waicu/    

You will need proof that you are a Lakeland student because you do not have an .edu address. Let me know that you are ordering software, and I will provide you with a letter that you can fax with the registration form. By the next day you should be able to purchase the software.

You can access the library by going through the Lakeland Web site at www.lakeland.edu

Access information can be found in your course syllabus.

We always welcome and encourage you to use our computer lab during the day; however, when working in the computer lab or on any of the computers in the classrooms, please do not save anything to the desk top or to the hard drive; it will be deleted. Please call ahead to make sure we are here to open the lab.

If you have changed your e-mail from the original e-mail you registered with, please let me know so I can change it in the system for the future. You can change it in Blackboard yourself, but I will need to know for our records. In addition, please advise me if you have changes to your home or work phone, and name.
