Late Registrations

Students can find the registration deadlines posted inside the ecampus. If a student misses the registration deadline, it is better to register for a future session to avoid late registration fees and to give the student a better opportunity for academic success.

Non-Refundable $50 Fee per Course:  Students wanting to late register must meet the conditions below and will be charged a $50 late fee per course registration. Classes can be selected for late registration using the normal online registration flow by selecting from the ‘closed’ course sections which will show a clock icon next to the course selection.

Deadlines

Online late registration will close on Thursday at 11:59 PM EST, during the first week of the course.  

Restrictions

  • Undergraduate students with international addresses, APO/DPO/FPO addresses, or PO boxes are not eligible for Late Registration.
  • First-time students receiving federal funds to pay for their classes must be cleared by the Financial Aid Department to register during Late Registration.

Policy Notes

  • Refunds will not be granted for the late registration fee, even if a student decides to drop/withdraw from the course.
  • If a student's books arrive late due to their late student registration, they will not be able to get a refund based on late book receipt.
  • If a student is trying to late register for a Comp Exam or Capstone course that is not showing an available session, they should contact graduations@apus.edu.

Students with questions regarding late registrations can contact info@apus.edu.
