GSSW Registration Frequently Asked Questions: Academic Courses

• When can I register? When do I receive my time ticket and how do they work?

  You have an assigned day and time (time ticket) to register. The purpose of time tickets is to ensure the system can efficiently manage the number of students registering at any given time.

  Time tickets are automatically assigned to students based off total credit amount and then randomly assigned throughout the registration period. (To ensure fairness, advanced-standing students are calculated as if they are Concentration students.)

  Your time ticket will first appear on your MyDU Student Profile during advising week and will remain until the registration period has passed. You will not be able to register without a registration time ticket.

  If you do not see a time ticket on your Student Profile, check that you have selected the correct term. If you have selected the proper term and still do not see a time ticket, please email the GSSW Office of the Registrar at gsswregistrar@du.edu with a screen shot of your missing time ticket.

   

• I need to register for a course that is full. How do I register for this course?

  If you try to register for a class that's full, you'll receive a closed-course notification and, if available, the opportunity to join the course waitlist. If the notification says waitlist spaces are available, simply click "submit changes" to add your name. The status column should then display the word "waitlisted," confirming you've successfully joined the list.

  When a seat becomes available, an email notification will be sent to the student at the top of the waitlist, who will then have 24 hours to log in to PioneerWeb and add the class. Each open seat will be reserved solely for the student at the top of the list — no other student may register for the seat during the 24-hour time period. If the seat is not claimed within 24 hours, the reservation will roll over to the next student on the waitlist, who will then have 24 hours to add the class. This process will continue as spaces become available until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, the first week of class. After this time, waitlists will be closed.

• Waitlist Questions

  Q: How do waitlists work? A: Waitlists for most classes are prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis. That is, the first student signing up for the waitlist will be at the top of the list and offered the first available seat in the class. Students may view waitlisted positions within their class schedules on PioneerWeb. A student in waitlist position 1 is next in line, and will move into position 0 if a seat becomes available. The higher your position on the waitlist, the higher your chances of being offered a seat in the class. 

  Q: How do I know if I get off the waitlist? A: When a seat becomes available, an email notification will be sent to the student at the top of the waitlist, who will then have 24 hours to log in to PioneerWeb and add the class. Each open seat will be reserved solely for the student at the top of the list — no other student may register for the seat during the 24-hour time period. If the seat is not claimed within 24 hours, the reservation will roll over to the next student on the waitlist, who will then have 24 hours to add the class. This process will continue as spaces become available until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, the first week of class. After this time, waitlists will be closed.

  Q: Do I need special permission to join a waitlist for a closed course? A: No. If a waitlist is available, you can simply choose that option from the drop-down menu after attempting to register.

  Q: Can student avoid the waitlist for a closed course by asking for instructor approval? A: No. In order to ensure the waitlist process is fair for everyone, no student may bypass it altogether.

  Q: What if I need to register for a closed course to meet graduation requirements? A: If you find a required course is closed, placing yourself on the waitlist is the right thing to do. GSSW evaluates waitlists the week after registration and are consistently making adjustments until the beginning of the term. Additionally, registering for an alternative course is a good idea while you wait to get off the waitlist. 

  Q: Can I waitlist for a class that has a time conflict with another course? A: Yes. Although you may not register for classes with time conflicts, you may join waitlists that have time conflicts with other registered or waitlisted classes. If a seat becomes available in the waitlisted class, you must first drop the conflicting registered class before adding the waitlisted class.

  Q: Can I waitlist for a class if I am registered in the max credit amount? A: Yes. Although you may not register for credits over the max credit amount (18), you may add yourself to waitlists over the max credit amount. If you are notified that a seat is available in the waitlisted section, you must first drop credits to make room for your waitlisted course credits. 

  Q: If I am on a waitlist and have a registration hold, will I be able to register for the waitlisted course? A: No, registration holds must be cleared prior to any registration activity, including waitlist activity. Remember, you only have 24 hours to register for a waitlisted class. It is best to resolve a registration hold before your registration period begins. Common Registration Holds and How to Clear.

  Q: If I receive a notification for an available waitlisted seat, but accidently drop the class, can I still register for it?  A: Yes. As long as it is within the 24-hour window, your spot will stay reserved, and you will be able to re-add the class.

• What happens if my course is cancelled?

  If your course is cancelled, the GSSW Office of the Registrar will drop the class and you will be notified via your DU email of the cancellation. GSSW will also provide additional options (if applicable) but not limited to:

  • Additional open sections of the same course offered that term, which you may register for.
  • Information on when the course will be offered in the future. 
  • Additional courses that meet the same requirement as the cancelled course.

  GSSW will ensure you get in all courses needed to meet degree requirements and that you graduate on time.

  Additional things you can do that will help:

  • Have a plan B for your degree requirements, more than one course can meet a requirement. Meet with an advisor or review your Academic Planning and Advising information for guidance.
  • Place yourself on waitlists for any closed/full classes. As we use this information to determine what to offer. 
• How do I add/drop classes once the quarter begins?

  Week 1: During week 1 of the quarter, you can add/drop as needed via your MyDU. It is best to make changes during week 1, which is within the 100% tuition refund period. Rather than wait, be refunded less tuition, and have to fill out paperwork. See the following.

  Adding an academic course beginning Week 2: Beginning the second week of the quarter, you will need to complete an add/drop form if you want to add an academic class. The instructor must sign this form. Please do not send the form to the DU registrar. Email it to your GSSW Registrar, gsswregistrar@du.edu

  Dropping an academic course week 2 to week 6: Students will drop courses via their MyDU. Please review your Academic Calendar. You are responsible to know add/drop and tuition refund deadlines.

  Dropping an academic course week 7 and week 8: You will need to complete an add/drop form if you want to drop an academic class during these weeks. The instructor must sign this form. Please do not send the form to the DU registrar. Email it to your GSSW Registrar, gsswregistrar@du.edu

  Example of filled out Add Drop form for Academic classes

  Beginning week 9 of the quarter you can no longer drop courses and will receive the grade earned.

• What does the technology or student activity fees cover? What are late fees?

  Visit the Bursar's website to learn more about fees.

• Can I audit a class?

  Students in the Denver Campus MSW Program, Four Corners MSW Program and Western Colorado MSW Program who are registered for eight credit hours in a quarter may audit a course. Approval for auditing privileges is granted only after the formal registration period, only where space is available, when there are no students waitlisted for the course, and at the discretion of the instructor in consultation with the GSSW Registrar. No tuition is charged, no record of the course is made, and students do not formally register for the course.

  Please note: If you audit a class, the class will not count toward any graduation requirements.

  1. Email the instructor for permission to audit the class.
  2. Send the approval email to gsswregistrar@du.edu.
  3. After registration has begun and if there is no one on the waitlist, the GSSW Office of the Registrar will confirm with you and the instructor that you can audit the class.

  Things to think about:

  1. Classes you audit will not count toward any graduation requirements.
  2. You cannot audit the class and then later in the quarter ask to take the class for credit.
  3. You cannot register in a course for credit and then ask to take it for audit.
  4. If you have not discussed auditing classes with your advisor, reach out to explain that you intend to audit a class and why.
• Can I take classes after I graduate?

  Yes, you can take classes the quarter after you graduate. However, students cannot take classes unless they are admitted in a program. The quarter you graduate, your program is complete and ends. For example, if you graduate in the Spring quarter, your program completes and ends Spring quarter and you are no longer admitted into the program. Meaning, you cannot take or register for classes the Summer quarter. If you want to take classes after you graduate, you must apply as a Non-Degree seeking student. 

  Please complete the Non-Degree seeking student application for the quarter after you graduate. On the application, you indicate which course number and CRN you want to take. You can find the course schedule on MyDU. If there is room in the class, the GSSW Registrar manually registers you for this class. Financial aid does not apply to Non-Degree seeking students.

  If you have questions, email us at gsswregistrar@du.edu. Don’t forget to include your DU ID.

GSSW Registration Frequently Asked Questions: Field Internship Classes

• How do I add/drop a field internship classes?

  Week 1: During Week 1 of the quarter, you can add/drop as needed via your MyDU. If you did not register for your field courses, please do so right away. If you registered for the wrong section(s) of field courses, please drop the wrong section then add the correct section. It is best to make changes during Week 1 rather than wait and have to fill out paperwork.

  Week 2 and Beyond: Beginning the second week of the quarter, you will need to complete an add/drop form if you failed to register for field courses or if you need to correct an incorrect field registration. The Add/Drop Form must be signed by your liaison for the section you need to add. You must enter the correct course information for the sections you need to add and/or drop, including section number and CRN. You can find course information listed above, Course Schedules and Field Registration Information by Program. Please do not send the form to the DU Registrar; email it to your GSSW Registrar at gsswregistrar@du.edu and copy your liaison.

  Please view the example of filled out Add/Drop Form for field classes.

  If you do not correct your field registration, you will have to go to Academic Exceptions to correct it.

• What happens if I do not correct my field registration?

  There will be tuition and credit implications, graduation may be delayed, and you will need to go through Academic Exceptions to correct the error.

  The following are examples of common field internship registration errors.

  • Registering for just any section. You need to register for the section that is connected to your liaison, who is listed as the instructor.
  • Registering for the Concentration class when you are in your Foundation Year or vice versa. The liaisons might be the same, but the credits are not.
  • Not registering all for field internship classes.
