Updates from the Dean March Athletics
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome Spring! It is hard to believe that we are mid-way through the spring semester. The campus has been extremely active! Spring sports have officially started, the spring musical will begin this month, and we will fulfill the University’s mission of service through five spring break service trips There are many ways that your student can become involved in the University community!
Just a friendly reminder, the residence halls close Saturday, March 1 at noon and re-open Sunday, March 9 at noon. It is difficult to believe that Easter is right around the corner. Classes will not meet on Good Friday, April 18. Classes will resume on Monday, April 21 at 6pm. Residence halls and the Aladdin Campus Dining will remain open for Easter Break For transportation between campus and Pittsburgh, the Grey Line is the primary provider and runs 365 days a year, wwwbusrideorg Waynesburg University will supplement their schedule with student-operated shuttles during the designated dates and times. Please have your student reserve 5 business days in advance by completing the Shuttle Reservation Form located on myConnect under the Transportatin Link.
As always, we are here to support your student and assist you with any questions along the way Please do not hesitate to contact us at (724) 852-3206

Notes:
Fall 2025 Pre-Registration Dates for Current Students:
From the Office of Records & Registration:
Who is eligible, Date eligible, Starting time
Students with 60+ credits completed Thursday, March 13, 12:00 p.m.
Students with 30+ credits completed Thursday, March 20, 12:00 p.m.
Students with <30 credits completed Thursday, March 28, 12:00 p.m.
· Students will need to schedule a meeting with their assigned academic advisor to obtain authorization to pre-register.
· To prepare for the advising meeting, students are encouraged to review their Academic Catalog, which contains major and general education requirements, course descriptions, recommended sequencing, etc.
· To increase chances of securing a seat in preferred courses, students are strongly advised to schedule as early as possible (see table above.)
· Courses can be added to a virtual cart before the eligible date, but registration still needs to be processed via Self Service for enrollment to occur.
· Students do not always get the exact schedule they prefer. As such, having a few alternate course options is suggested.
LAST DAY TO WITHDRAW FROM A CLASS: Friday, March 28
Notes:
·Students simply complete an online course withdrawal form. Advisor approval is needed, so students are encouraged to seek advising consultation prior to completing the form.
·Students must be enrolled in 12 credits to maintain full-time status. Dropping below full-time status would have athletic eligibility implications and could possibly affect residency status and/or financial aid.
·Consultation with an advisor and/or other support offices is suggested (and may be necessary) if withdrawing from a course which leads to fewer than 12 credits.
·Disclaimer: This is the withdrawal deadline for a large majority of classes. However, we do offer a few courses that meet only half of the semester; the deadline for these courses would be different.
