REGISTRATION AND GRADE INFORMATION
Registration for Spring 2010 will be possible through the WEB Registration System (WRS)
for students in continuing off-campus programs. WRS is part of the WEB technologies now available for remote
access of student information. (Registration for the first term of a new
cohort program will be conducted on site.)
HOW DO I ACCESS THE SYSTEM?
WRS access to AppalNET is granted by using your Computer
User Identification Number and Password. (For the mechanics
of how one registers, see the worksheet for WRS.)
WHO IS ALLOWED TO REGISTER?
All continuing students enrolled during the Fall
Semester 2009 and classified as degree-seeking will be given access to WRS
(so long as the student is academically eligible and has no outstanding balance
on the student account). This includes graduate students, undergraduate
students, and "special students" officially recognized as seeking
teacher licensure.
Returning students NOT enrolled during the Fall
Semester 2009 must be formally re-admitted to the University before having
access to WRS. To be re-admitted, students should contact the Office
of Extension & Distance Education by calling 1-800-355-4084.
WHEN CAN I REGISTER?
Students enrolled during the Fall Semester 2009 are
asked to register during the period from November 9 through November 20, 2009.
The procedure and specific time and date on which you have initial
access to WRS is on the email sent to your appstate.edu email address.
Please note that WRS is programmed to deny access to
a student until the time and date specified in his or her instruction letter.
Once access is given, however, it will continue through registration period specified in the Academic
Calendar.
AT WHAT TIME DURING THE DAY IS TRS/WRS
AVAILABLE?
During the period when a student has access to the system,
WRS will be open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
HOW DO I USE THE SYSTEM?
A set of step-by-step instructions is provided---see the WRS worksheet.
HOW DO I REGISTER FOR A CLASS THAT REQUIRES
SPECIAL PERMISSION?
For registration that requires instructor and/or
departmental permission, the student must contact the appropriate academic
department. If permission is given, the academic department will
code the permission online, allowing the student to then register by WRS.
WHEN WILL I BE BILLED? WHEN DO I PAY?
If you register during your prescribed registration period,
a billing statement will be mailed to your PERMANENT address. Payments should be mailed to: Appalachian State University,
Student Accounts Office, John Thomas Hall, ASU BOX 32005, Boone, NC
28608-2005.
Payment by credit card (MasterCard or Visa) is available via
WRS (Credit
Card Payment), or by calling (828) 262-2113.
Students are responsible for the payment of tuition
and fees regardless of whether a billing statement is received.
FINAL GRADES
Final grades are available through
WRS for the four most recent academic terms.
WHAT IF I HAVE DIFFICULTY USING WRS?
The Office
of Extension & Distance Education is open Monday through Friday
8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you experience difficulty in registering call
1-800-355-4084.
RELEASE OF GRADES
1-800-355-4084.
Grades can be obtained at the end of each academic
term through WRS.
It is a policy of the State of North Carolina, however,
that the University cannot release a transcript or diploma to a student with
an unpaid account. In order to comply with this policy, the University will
audit the account of every enrolled student approximately two weeks prior
to the end of each academic term. Students with unpaid accounts will be so
notified and expected to clear the account by the end of that academic term
(defined as the last day of examinations). If a student fails to clear the
account, the University will, in accordance with State policy, release neither
a transcript nor (if applicable) a diploma. (Please note that a charge made
against a future term--i.e., a charge made for "early registration"--does
not constitute an "unpaid account" in this context.)
