The Registrar's page has the current registration schedule available.
Instructor Permission (IP) is necessary for non-degree students to obtain in order to register for a day section course prior to the open enrollment period. Conversely, Instructor Permission is also necessary for a degree student wishing to register for a CE course, again, prior to the open enrollment period.
In order to grant instructor permission in the Banner student system, instructors must do what's called an Instructor Override. To grant an override, go to the Registrar's website and follow these steps:
As you can see, you will need the student's ID number in order to do this. Once you've completed these steps, you must contact the student to confirm they are able to register. The override allows the student restriction to be lifted and enables the student to register for the course, but a student MUST REGISTER THEMSELVES; you cannot perform this function as the instructor.
Can I remove instructor permission?
Please contact a Continuing Education Curriculum Planner to inquire about this situation.
For all Continuing Education students (those who are not yet matriculated into a specific program within a college), their advisors are located at the Dean's Office for Continuing Education, 322 South Prospect Street. Please direct your student to call (802)656-2085 or 1-800-639-3210 to speak to an advisor.
Once a student is accepted and matriculated into a program, they are then assigned an academic advisor within their particular college. This advisor is the student's advocate for adding/withdrawing courses, changing their course schedule, and anything having to do with their academic schedule.
You are able to monitor your course enrollments after the start of the registration period utilizing the following tools. FIRST, you must activate your UVM netID in order to use the following tools:
Email is the optimal way to make initial contact with your students. In order to email all of the students registered for you course, you must access the Faculty SIS system from the Registrar's page. If you have questions about your ID or pin number, please contact the Registrar's Office directly.
Once logged in, select the "Class Roster" link. Identify the correct semester/term and a specific course from the drop-down menus. Finally, choose a format by which to view the class roster and submit the query. The first blue hyperlink you see toward the bottom of the screen reads: Email Entire List Excluding Withdrawn Students. Click on this link to contact your class registrants.
On occasion, students may ask to take your course as:
For more information on all student options, please visit the University Online Catalog. You may also direct students to the Registrar's web page for accessing appropriate forms.
In order to allow students an adequate amount of time to register for another course, Continuing Education will make course cancellation decisions one to two weeks prior to the start date of your course.
There is no standard minimum enrollment at which a course is permitted to run, as the decision is made on a per course basis by examining the direct expenses (typically, salary, fringe and operating expenses) in relation to tuition income. We will make every effort to reach you to discuss your course status before making a final decision, so please ensure Continuing Education has accurate contact information for you.
In lieu of cancellation, Continuing Education may offer a low-enrolled course as an independent study when appropriate. For instance:
A decision to run a low-enrolled course will result from agreement among Curriculum Planners, Student Advisors, Faculty, and the Department Chairperson and/or College Dean.
Continuing Education provides instructors of Continuing Education courses access to the following resources at our offices, located at 322 S. Prospect Street:
Classroom assignments are posted in the online course listing off of the Registrar's page, where you can also view your enrollments. It is recommended that you check your room assignment before classes begin in case of any changes.
You also should visit the classroom reserved for your course prior to the first day of class to ensure it will meet your instructional needs. Please refer to DO NOT move into another (apparently) empty classroom.
Room Change Requests
Once a room has been assigned to your course for the upcoming term, switching it to another space is extremely unlikely. Please refer to the criteria contained on the online Room Change Request Form and submit it if you want to pursue this process.
Interactive Television
If you are teaching your course via interactive television, you will be contacted to discuss site logistics and practice sessions.
Continuing Education does not provide parking passes or guaranteed parking on the UVM campus. To park in university lots prior to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, you will need a parking pass. For instructions on obtaining a parking pass, please visit Transportation and Parking Services online or at their on-campus office in Macauley Hall (250 Colchester Ave). You will need to show your UVM ID card when you apply for the permit. The cost is staggered, based on the salary level, and the permit can be renewed online.
Several offices across campus are available to support you:
