Registration dates will be published annually in the
college calendar. In-house memos, student email, the
college web site, TechTrends, and other correspondence
may also be used to notify students and employees of
registration dates and times. Individual notices will
be sent to new students only. Students are responsible
for keeping apprised of registration dates and times.
Contact the Office of Student Affairs concerning registration
information.
Registration
Eligibility back
to top
Students who have received an official letter of acceptance
to the college and continuing students not on academic
suspension may register for classes. Students enrolling
under the special admission provisions are also eligible
to register for certain classes.
Registration
Procedures back
to top
Registration for credit classes occurs in three phases
at Lanier Technical College:
- Returning Student Registration - Advisement/Registration
for currently enrolled students only.
- Open Registration - Registration held for
new students who have completed all admission requirements
and for returning students.
- Late Registration - An open-to-all registration
for new, current, and former students regardless of
their admissions classification. There is a $30 late
fee.
Quarterly
Course Schedule back
to top
The quarterly course schedule is available on the Lanier
Technical College website and contains information about
course offerings and registration. Students are urged
to become knowledgeable about these instructions and
to follow them explicitly. Any deviation from the prescribed
procedure may result in unnecessary delays in registration
or errors in the resulting schedule. Advisors are available
to students for academic advisement and scheduling of
classes. Applicants will not be approved for academic
advisement and/or registration until formally accepted
by the Office of Admissions nor will they be permitted
to attend classes until registration has been completed.
Completion of the registration process includes payment
of all assessed tuition and fees.
Matriculation
back
to top
Registration is not complete until fees are paid. Students
who register with Financial Aid, i.e. HOPE and or Pell,
are responsible for assuring that their financial files
are complete prior to registration each quarter.
Full
Time Student Status back
to top
A student must be registered for a minimum of 12 quarter
credit hours to be considered a full-time student.
Maximum
Number of Credit Hours back
to top
A student may not register for more than 18 credit hours
without approval from the Vice President of Academic
Affairs, Vice President of Operations, or their designee.
Registration
Errors back
to top
It is the student's responsibility to complete the proper
forms and procedures for registration or changes to
registration and to verify that his/her schedule of
classes is correct. The Office of the Registrar cannot
be held responsible for errors resulting from the student's
failure to execute the proper procedure or verify his/her
schedule at the time it is received. Any problems experienced
at registration or as a result of registration should
be reported immediately to the Office of the Registrar.
Auditing
Courses back
to top
A student who wishes to audit a course(s) and receive
no credit may apply as a special admissions student
if not already enrolled as a regular student. By registering
as an audit student and paying the regular fees and
tuition, a student is permitted to audit a course. Students
auditing courses are not required to take exams; however,
the instructor may request that students demonstrate
required knowledge before being allowed to perform certain
tasks to operate equipment. A student is not permitted
to change from audit to credit or from credit to audit
after the drop/add period. However, a student will be
permitted to register for the course for credit at a
later date. Students desiring to change from audit to
credit must meet all necessary admission requirements.
A grade of "AU" will be entered on the permanent
record. Courses taken on an audit basis will not be
used for certification for financial aid, the President's
List, Social Security, or Veteran's Administration education
benefits. To audit a class, a student should contact
his/her advisor or the Office of the Registrar.

a student may add a course to an already existing schedule.
Students may add courses online via Banner Web at www.laniertech.edu
or may obtain a Drop/Add Form from his/her advisor,

form, and submit it to the Office of Student Affairs
prior to the close of the office on the seventh calendar
day of the quarter or the last business day, Monday
through Thursday, prior to the seventh day of the academic
calendar. Students who add a course may owe additional
tuition and fees (see Financial Information).
Dropping
Courses back
to top
Through the end of the third instructional day of the
quarter, a student may drop a course from an already
existing schedule.
Note: An instructional day is based on the
academic calendar, not a student's individual schedule.
Students may drop courses online via Banner Web at www.laniertech.edu
or may obtain a Withdrawal Form from his/her advisor,
sign and date the form, and submit it to the Office
of Student Affairs prior to the close of the office
on the third instructional day of the quarter. This
deadline is strictly enforced. A student who drops a
course may be due a refund (see Refund Policy).
Withdrawing
From Courses back
to top
Through the end of the last day of the quarter, a student
may withdraw from a course. To withdraw from a course,
a student must obtain a Withdrawal Form from his/her
advisor, sign and date the form, and submit it to the
Office of Student Affairs immediately but no later than
the close of the office on the last day of the quarter.
This deadline is strictly enforced. Students may also

A student dropping a course on or after the third instructional
day of the quarter, but by the midpoint date of the
quarter, will receive a grade of "W."
Note: An instructional day is based on the academic
calendar, not a student's individual schedule. A student
who drops a course after the midpoint date will be assigned
a "WP" or "WF." A student who withdraws
from a course prior to the first day of the quarter
or during the three day drop period will be due a refund
of tuition (see Refund Policy). Students on financial
aid should be aware that a drop or withdrawal after
the three day drop period may affect their financial
aid.
