Office Hours Each instructor and professor has regularly scheduled office hours each week. During this time, students can meet with their professors to discuss course work, ask questions, or get to know their professor. Professors often recommend that students schedule time to see them within their office hours. Information on office hours will be available in the course syllabus for each class or by contacting the professor or the department office.
Registration and Records All new international students are eligible to register for their first term of classes online before International Student Orientation. For all registration periods following their initial term of enrollment at PSU, students will register on their own. Students can register for classes during the pre-term registration period and may make changes to their registration until after the term begins. Pre-term registration dates are prioritized according to student class standings, which are determined by the number of credits a student has earned. It is important for students to be aware of the available dates for registration, as well as deadlines for adding and dropping classes, making grade changes, withdrawing from classes, refund percentages and other policies. You can find these dates in the PSU Student Handbook, or online at: http://www.pdx.edu/registration/calendar or on page 17 of this handbook. If you are unsure which classes to register for, please schedule an appointment with your academic advisor. Student Identification Number (PSU ID Number) PSU assigns each student an ID number which will be used during your studies at PSU. Your PSU ID number will be a 9-digit number beginning with the number 9. Adding Classes A student who has registered and wishes to add a course may do so in the first two weeks of the quarter. If you want to add a class after the first week, you must go to the Registration windows in Neuberger Hall Lobby and complete a Special Registration Form. Dropping/Withdrawing from Classes Classes may be dropped during the first four weeks of the quarter online. If you wish to drop a class after this time, you must get permission from the academic department delivering the class. The department will stamp or sign the Special Registration Form, which can be obtained at the Registrar’s Office.
