Spring 2022 Validation

Validation for Returning Students

Any returning student who registered for Spring 2022 classes (not study away) must validate their registration.

Here’s how to do that:

1. Log onto 1600grand, click on the Student tab, go to the Registration header and click on Enter Profile. There you will see any validation holds you have by clicking on Holds in the top-right; a hold may be from Student Accounts, Health Services, the Registrar’s Office or other campus offices. Contact that office in order to resolve your hold. A more detailed description of the different hold types is available here. Note: holds may be added after the Spring 2022 payment due date—check your account after January 15.
2. The Registrar’s Office will send an email to all students to inform you that all holds are placed. If you do not have any holds listed on 1600grand at that time, you have automatically been validated for spring—no need to check in with the Registrar’s Office.
3. If you do have holds, you must make satisfactory arrangements to clear the hold. Once the Registrar’s Office is notified that you’ve cleared all holds, you will be validated. Validation should be completed the first day of class, Thursday, January 20. The last possible day to validate is Friday, January 28. This is also the Drop/Add deadline. If you don’t validate by the January 28 deadline, you will be dropped from all of your courses and lose your status as a student.
4. When Drop/Add opens on the first day of class, you may change your schedule as needed on 1600grand. All course Adds require the instructor’s approval. You may drop a course without approval.
5. If you decide not to return for spring semester, you must notify the Office of Student Affairs to arrange for a temporary or permanent withdrawal from the college.
6. INTERNSHIPS for credit:  If you are planning or even contemplating the possibility of doing an internship for credit this semester, you should check in with the Internship Office immediately.  They have a form that signals your intent to do an internship that is required before the Drop/Add deadline of Friday, January 28.

Late Registration

If you did not pre-register for Spring 2022 and need to begin the registration process, contact the Registrar’s Office to obtain a special registration form. You will need to obtain your academic adviser’s signature, the signatures of the instructors for ALL of your courses, and clearance from Student Accounts and Health Services. If you were on campus in the fall, you will be charged a $100.00 late fee to register for the spring semester, which is payable in cash or check at the time you register.
