California University of Management and Sciences admits new students every quarter. All students must register for certain courses in keeping with their academic plans and for which they meet the stated prerequisites. All students are strongly encouraged to meet with their academic advisors before class enrollment and at least once each quarter. Registration materials are available in the Registrar's office.


Enrollment Agreement

Any written contract or agreement signed by a prospective student will not become operative until the student makes an initial visit to the institution or attends the first class of instruction. The University encourages all prospective students to visit the University prior to the first day of class for a tour of the campus facilities and to ask questions about the program, the University's performance, and other information that may affect student's decision to enroll.


Add & Drop Policy

During the first two weeks of the quarter, one or two courses, but no more than two, may be dropped and an equivalent number of courses may be added without penalty (financial or attendance). No other Adds are allowed after the second week except under the same kind of emergency circumstances that would apply in the case of incomplete grades.

A student who wishes to ADD a class must:

  1. Make a request to add by completing an official Add/Drop Request Form.
  2. Obtain the academic advisor's approval to add a class not appearing on your
       original Class Registration Form.
  3. Submit the completed Add/Drop Request Form to the Registrar's Office immediately.

A student who wishes to DROP a class must:

  1. Make a request to drop a class by completing an official Add/Drop Form.
  2. Obtain the Instructor's approval to drop any class appearing on your original Class
      Registration Form.
  3. Submit the completed Add/Drop Request Form to the Registrar's Office immediately.

Study Loads

A minimum study load for a fill-time undergraduate student is twelve (12) units per quarter. A minimum study load for a full-time graduate student is eight (8) units per quarter.


Late Registration

Students who have not completed registration by the last day of the registration period may enroll in courses during the first two weeks after classes begin upon paying a late registration fee of $20. Students are not allowed to register after the end of the second week each quarter. No enrollment or addition of any course is permitted after the first two weeks of the quarter have passed without permission from the instructor involved and authorization from the Dean.


Attendance Policy

Regular attendance is necessary to achieve satisfactory academic progress. If the student is absent, he/she may be required to make up all work missed. It is the student's responsibility to check on all assignments.


Students enrolled in any course are expected to attend classes regularly and comply with class requirements to the satisfaction of their instructor. In case of severe illness, or a death in the immediate family, the instructor of the course may "excuse" the student from attending class. However, it is the responsibility of the student to make up any academic work assigned during his absence. Students who miss twelve hours of class time or three consecutive classes during any regular quarter may be dropped from that class. Students who wish to be allowed to continue attendance in the class must notify the instructor. If the work missed is completed to the instructor's satisfaction within a reasonable period of time, the student may continue with the class. Any student missing twelve hours of class time or three consecutive classes during the quarter will be reported to the Academic Dean by the Instructor. The Academic Dean will then initiate the process of counseling or dropping that student from the class.

Auditing Classes

An applicant wanting to audit a course or courses must apply for admission. For an upper level class, the applicant must demonstrate sufficient knowledge so he/she can benefit from auditing the class. No more than two auditing students will be accepted for any one class. The application fee is waived, but the applicant is required to pay 50% of the course tuition and a registration fee and materials fee. Audit Grades are recorded in the official transcript.



Class Schedule

Prior to the beginning of registration for each quarter, a class schedule is prepared and filed with Registrar's Office. The class schedule may be revised after the quarter has begun before Add and Drop deadline. All revisions are filed with the Registrar's Office. The initial class schedule and any revision thereafter must be approved by the Academic Dean.
