All waiver requests must be submitted to the Appalachian State University Office of the Registrar, 106 John E. Thomas Hall, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC 28607 or via email to registrar@appstate.edu. Submitting your waiver request via email will expedite the review process if you also submit supporting documents as attachments.
Surcharge waiver requests cannot be accepted until after the tuition surcharge bills are sent out each term. Surcharge bills are sent separately from the regular tuition/fees/housing bills.
Your waiver request must be received or post-marked no later than 30 days after the tuition surcharge bill is emailed to you.
No, but there is an option to request a “waiver” of the tuition surcharge if your situation fits into one of categories specified in the waiver procedures established by the state. Waiver requests that do not fall into one of these four categories will not be considered. If you believe your circumstances fall within one of these four categories, you must complete a Tuition Waiver Review Form [PDF, 214KB] and submit the form and supporting documents to the Office of the Registrar, John E. Thomas Hall within 30 business days of receiving your midterm bill which includes a tuition surcharge.
Based on University academic records, you fell into one of the categories listed below:
- For students earning a first baccalaureate degree in a program that requires no more than 128 credit hours, the surcharge shall be applied to all counted credit hours in excess of 140 hours.
- For students earning a first baccalaureate degree in a board-approved program that requires more than 128 counted credit hours, the surcharge shall be applied to all credit hours that exceed 110 percent of the credit hours required for the degree. Such programs include those that have been officially designated by the Board of Governors as five-year programs, as well as those involving double majors, or combined bachelor's/master's degrees.
- For students earning a baccalaureate degree other than their first, the surcharge shall be applied to all counted credit hours that exceed 110 percent of the minimum additional credit hours needed to earn the additional baccalaureate degree.
The Registrar's Office E911 Address is 287 Rivers Street.
Academic Probation Warning alone does not impact a student’s financial aid. However, failure to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress ratio of 67% for one or more semesters could negatively impact financial aid eligibility. Please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid if you have questions or concerns related to your financial aid.
No. Academic Probation Warning does not affect a student’s ability to apply for scholarships.
No. Academic Probation Warning does not affect your academic standing.
Since the Academic Probation Warning is not punitive in terms of a students’ academic record, there is no appeal process. The purpose of the warning is to ensure that students are informed that continued failure to meet expected Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) ratio could have future consequences in terms of their GPA and financial aid eligibility.
No. Academic Probation Warning does not appear on a student’s record or transcript.
Yes, but if registration becomes available for that section, you will have to choose between the two sections. All registration rules are still enforced when adding the actual class.
You can drop yourself from a waitlist just like you would drop yourself from a course you are registered for in AppalNet. Click on the drop down menu to the right of the course under the action column you are waitlisted for and select 'Drop', then click 'Submit' at the bottom of the screen.
- "Closed - # Waitlisted". This message means that you are eligible to waitlist the section and whatever number is in the '#' position means that many people are already on the waitlist. To get on the waitlist, choose the 'Wait List' option from the drop down menu and you will become the next person on the waitlist.
- "Closed - Waitlist Full". This means you are not eligible to waitlist the section.
- "Open - Waitlist Filled". This means there is a seat open in the course but there is a student on the waitlist who is eligible to register for that seat. Since that top waitlisted student hasn't taken any action yet, the waitlist is still full. As soon as that student registers for, or drops off the waitlist, a seat will come open on the waitlist.
When you drop a course that has a waitlist attached to it must sign up for the waitlist for that section in order to get back into the class.
Being on a waitlist does not guarantee a seat in any section. If you become eligible to register for that seat, you will receive an e-mail in your Appalachian State University account. If seats are open in a course that has a waitlist on it, each student on the waitlist could potentially use their entire 18 hour window to register for, or drop the course. This could add up to a long waiting period for students at the end of the list.
Waitlist positions are not displayed in AppalNet. Because these positions change so frequently, please do not call administrative staff asking for your position.
If you were eligible to register for a section and missed the 18 hour window of opportunity to register for a class, you are dropped from the waitlist and must sign up for the waitlist again.
Once you are eligible to register for a waitlisted course, you will have 18 hours to register via AppalNet before the next person on the waitlist gets the opportunity to register. The e-mail notification will include a timestamp that specifically tells you when the window of opportunity to register for the seat will expire.
Once a seat becomes available in a course you will receive an e-mail in your Appalachian State University e-mail account with instructions on how to move the course from a 'Wait List' status to a '**Web Registered**' status.
