Credit Limits
Students may enroll in up to 18 credits during the term. Enrollment in more than the maximum number of credits requires approval from the Registrar. Anyone enrolled for 12 or more term credit hours is considered a full-time student. Anyone enrolled for fewer than 12 credit hours during a term is considered a part-time student. Most career programs are structured with 15-18 credits per term to complete the degree in a one- or two-year time frame.
Registration Procedures
Registration details are published each term at nicoletcollege.edu.
Students are notified through their Nicolet account when to schedule their registration appointments; students may also register for classes via online registration. New students who have been admitted will be notified to schedule registration appointments when registration opens for their intended term. Non-program students may use mail-in, phone-in, or online registration options as outlined in the course schedules and register only during the late registration period.
Students may register for classes without instructor permission through the first week of a term start provided they have met applicable admission requirements and there is space available. For classes that have already met once or after the first week of the term start, students may need written permission from the instructor prior to registering for a class(es). After the Date of Record, students will not be allowed to register for any classes that are already in progress. Exceptions may be granted by the Registrar. Please contact your Success Coach for assistance with late registration. Date of Record is defined as 14 calendar days into the standard term with day one being the first day of each term. Registration and Date of Record reporting are different in Competency-Based Education programs and are dependent on the specific program. Please contact your Success Coach for more information.
