The Registrar lists the dates for registration online prior to each semester. Students may choose to register online through the MySnow Student Portal or in person at the registration windows or Academic Advising Center. Instructions for using these systems are available each semester online. Students are strongly encouraged to see an academic advisor prior to registration each semester.

Students must be registered for a class to receive credit. It is imperative that students check their class schedule through the MySnow Student Portal or at the Registration Office prior to the third week of school to ensure they are officially enrolled in classes. Students may not attend classes if the official class roll does not include their name.

Students are required to make payments of fees according to deadlines listed in the Tuition and Fees section of this catalog. AP or transfer credit should be received at least three weeks prior to registration.

Classification of Students

Snow College students are classified as follows:

• Freshmen: 0-29.5 earned credits
• Sophomores: 30-59.5 earned credits
• Juniors: 60-89.5 earned credits
• Seniors: 90+ earned credits

Semester Course Number System

• 0001-0999 | Pre-College preparatory courses
• 1000-1999 | Primarily freshmen or beginning level courses
• 2000-2999 | Primarily sophomore or second-level courses
• 3000-4999 | Primarily upper-division courses for Baccalaureate programs

Only courses numbered 1000 or above are counted toward graduation.

Resident Credits

Students must meet the following resident credit standards. Resident credits are credits earned through Snow College. College credits earned through AP, CLEP, PLA, credit by exam, and other non-traditionally awarded credits do not satisfy these standards.

• Baccalaureate degrees require 30 resident credits, all of which must be upper-division.
• Associate degrees require 15 resident credits.
• Academic and Technical Education Certificates require a minimum of 4 resident credits or 25% of the program, whichever is higher.

Excess Credit Policy

A student may enroll for excess credit if the following conditions exist:

1. Students with an admission type of First Time Freshman may not exceed 18 credit hours in their first semester.
2. Petitions for excess credit must be submitted for consideration by the end of the first week of classes;
3. A student's assigned academic advisor may approve enrollment between 19 and 20 credits without a petition;
4. Petitions for credit hours in excess of 20 will be evaluated and acted upon by the Registrar;
5. For enrollment in 21-25 credit hours, a petition form must be processed. The grade point average is a minimum requirement for consideration of the petition;
6. A tuition surcharge will be assessed for each credit hour above 18;

Once students have completed their first semester as a new freshman with at least 15 credits and have a minimum grade point average of 3.00, they may petition for excess credit. Students must first meet with their Academic Advisor and permission must be obtained from the Registration Office. Students requesting credits between 21-25 must have a cumulative GPA of at least B (3.0) or higher depending on the amount of credits being attempted and submit a petition for excess credit to the Registration Office. (Please refer to the "Petition for Excess Credit" form for cumulative GPA requirements.)

Note: Credits above 18 during a semester will incur additional tuition charges. If permission is granted, it is the student's responsibility to monitor their course progress and drop any necessary courses by the third week of the semester. Petition forms are available online at www.snow.edu/registrar.

Repeated Course Charges

By Utah System of Higher Education Board policy, the State of Utah requires that students be charged the “full cost of instruction” the third time they enroll in the same course. This means an additional charge of $100 will be charged per credit hour for the repeated class. Subsequent registrations in the course will also be assessed the $100 per credit hour charge. This policy does not apply to classes taken prior to Fall Semester 2002. This charge does not apply to courses that are repeatable for credit as designated in the class schedule or catalog or to classes required to complete a program of study. Students may appeal to the Academic Procedures Committee if they have extenuating circumstances that should be taken into consideration. These repeat course charges will be added to a student’s account after the semester commences.
