Registration for Continuing Students

Each continuing student must register every semester for coursework via the on-line student registration portal which can be found and accessed anywhere in the world at: My LIU

** REGISTRATION CHECKLIST **

** PLEASE REFER TO THE PLAN OF STUDY FOR YOUR CENTER **

** PLEASE REFER TO COURSE DESCRIPTIONS FOR YOUR CENTER **

In addition, there is a help guide at http://studentcenter.liu.edu which instructs students on how to navigate the self-registration portal. There is an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section as well as tutorials and a YOUTUBE video.

Unless otherwise noted, students must register for 16.00 credits per semester in order to graduate in a timely fashion (128.00 total needed). After a student arrives overseas, a learning plan detailing individual course work will be created with the student’s advisor.

For permission to take 18.00 credits, students must contact the Dean’s Office at the time of registration (prior to the start of the semester). Contact Joann Halpern at joann.halpern@liu.edu for more information.

Students must use the mailing address where they intend to receive mail over the summer or in between semester breaks. Visa forms and other important information will be sent to that mailing address. If it differs from a student’s permanent address, students must contact Carlett.Thomas@liu.edu or 718-488-3409.

ADVISING SEMESTER

Advising Semester - A student may arrange to enroll for an "advising semester" to finish up incomplete work if further faculty advising and/or evaluation is required. After work is received and evaluated, the student's prior marks of INC will be replaced by the credits completed during the advising semester. The cost of doing an advising semester should be confirmed with the Registrar, as policies may have changed. Students who register for an advising semester are doing make-up or incomplete work, and are not earning “new” credits. Consequently, they are not considered to be “true” students, and may be ineligible for various student benefits such as health insurance or student loan deferment or “student status” for visa purposes.

All advising semesters must be approved via the Dean’s Office. Please contact Joann Halpern at joann.halpern@liu.edu for more information.
