Course Registration Information

Helpful Tips for Registration
  1. Time tickets for registration can be found under Registration Notifications in the upper right hand corner of Homer Connect.
  2. Be sure you hit the SUBMIT button when adding a class. If it says PENDING- that means you are NOT registered!
  3. Waitlist IS NOT A GUARANTEE! Watch the other sections, in case a seat opens up. If a spot opens, you will receive an email and have a limited time to register for the course. Check your email twice a day during the add/drop period to ensure timely registration.
  4. Pay special attention to all the times the class will meet. Most classes meet two to four times per week.
  5. Course Overrides WILL NOT allow you to go over cap in a class! They will only lift restrictions for pre-requisites, class standing or major/minor restrictions. If a class is at capacity and a course override is approved, you will only be able to register for the waitlist, if there are still openings.
  6. Capacity Overrides - If you feel that a class that is full is imperative to graduate on time, please email academicsupport@ithaca.edu with your student information, along with the course information (including course subject and number) that you are requesting.
  7. Electronic forms including change of major/concentration and course override request can be found on IC Workflow.

Satisfactory/D/Fail (S/D/F) Option

The intent of the satisfactory/D/fail (S/D/F) option is to encourage exploration and experimentation in curricular areas in which the student may have had little or no previous experience.

  • Each undergraduate may elect S/D/F grading in no more than four courses in their bachelor’s degree program.
  • A student may elect only one S/D/F course per semester.
  • Any course for the major or minor must be taken for a letter grade unless the course is offered only on a pass/fail basis. In this context, required courses are those that are specified as such by number and title, or are selected to fulfill a specified number of department credits. Departments may set additional limits but cannot grant exceptions to the above stipulations.
  • To exercise the S/D/F option, a student must complete an S/D/F option form. This form must be submitted on IC Workflow by the last day to Withdraw (check the Academic Calendar on the Registrar's website) in the semester in which the S/D/F credit is being taken. Be sure to check the Academic Calendar for the exact due date.
  • Students who are registered for S/D/F and earn a grade below C- will have that grade (D+, D, D-, or F) calculated into their GPA. Grades of S are not calculated into their cumulative GPA.
  • Students planning to transfer to another school or department, or to enter a graduate or professional school, are reminded that their admission may be affected by S/D/F coursework.
  • The S/D/F option does not apply to pass/fail courses.
