FREQUENTLY ASKED REGISTRATION QUESTIONS

Registration Holds

To check if you have a hold on your registration go to your portal click on New Titan Online then click on the Student Center. If there is a hold on your registration it will have the name of the department and the number to call to request your hold be removed.

How do I add a class that is full?

If it's not possible to get a complete schedule through early registration you may use the wait list option or attempt to petition into classes beginning the first night of class. The instructor and only the instructor have the discretion to add students to a class if it is full. The online waitlisting process for the College of Business and Economics courses will cease to function with the first day of classes for the Fall & Spring semesters. Please review How Waitlisting Works and Restrictions.

For restricted, full, or closed classes, an electronic permit must be placed in the registration system by the department. To obtain a permit, you must secure the consent of the instructor. You will need to contact the instructor and petition to add the course. Your Graduate Advisor would be unable to assist you with enrolling or obtaining a seat in a full class.

We do not have the authority to add students or extend their registration windows. If you are having difficulties with the system you may call the help line at (657)278-7601.

What do I do if I recieve an error message when registering?

If you receive an error message when registering for a course during your scheduled registration appointment date, and you meet the course prerequisite, you will need to complete the Permit Request form (PDF document) for the respective department of the offered course. On the form, describe the errors occuring and provide details for the permit request.

A listing of all Academic Departments and their locations are available online at https://business.fullerton.edu/About/Departments .

How Do I Drop/Withdraw from a Class?

After the first day of the semester through the second week of classes, students must drop through Titan Online. Students will not receive a grade on their transcripts if they drop during the first two weeks of the semester start.

After the initial add/drop period, students must withdraw from a course with a grade of "W". To withdraw from a class, you are required to obtain approval from the Instructor, Department Chair, and Assistant Dean. There are strict deadlines that need to be adhered to and they can be found online or in the registration guide .

Authorization to withdraw after the second week of classes shall be granted for only the most serious and compelling reason, e.g. a documented physical, medical, emotional, work related issues, or other condition which has the effect of limiting the student’s full participation in the class. Poor academic performance, e.g. lack of effort or poor attendance is not evidence of a serious reason for withdrawal.

The drop forms are located in the Admissions & Records Service Center in LH114. You must obtain the instructor’s, department chair’s, & assistant dean’s signature (in the order listed on the form).

The deadlines and procedures for dropping a class can be found online through admissions and records either in the Calendar or Registration link. Question about refunds should be directed to Students Financial Services.

International Students

International Students pick up their registration packages and can receive help at International Students and Scholars Office in University Hall 244. If international students cannot find a full load (6 Units 500 level, 3 units 400 level), through no fault of their own, then they can pick-up a Reduced Course Load form at the International Students and Scholars Office.

Important Note on Withdrawal from a course for International Students:

Receiving a W (withdrawal) or W/U (unauthorized withdrawal) does not count towards you enrolled units and may affect your immigration status. Please refer to the ISS webpage on Maintaining Status

If you are having difficulty with any class for whatever reason (personal, financial, academic, etc.), you must see an ISS advisor before you decide to withdraw or stop attending class. If you fall out of F-1 status for failure to attend classes, it may be difficult for you to reinstate your F-1 student status.
