Late Registration & Fees

Registering late, after the class has met cannot be completed online and requires a permission from the instructor.  The following may be accepted: instructor's signature on Course Selection Worksheet, a note written by the instructor, or an email directed to the Registrar's Office in Chicago or Schaumburg.

The late fee of $200.00 starts seven (7) calendar days before the start of the session in which your class takes place. If the seventh calendar day falls on the weekend or holiday, the date is moved forward to the first weekday. This applies to all sessions except for the Online session (session 8).

During the first week of the Online session (session 8) students may still register for online courses.  The instructor's permission is not required, however, no online (via RU Access) registration is available.  Students may register in person, or by fax and the $200.00 late fee still applies.

Late Fees are not Assessed:

• When a student is adding a course to an existing registration
• To newly admitted students
• To students registering for individualized sections such as: thesis, dissertations, independent studies, course by arrangements, internships and their continuation
• To students registering for a GuIDE course 

See the Important Dates page and select the appropriate term for the specific date for your session.
