Degree-seeking students new to College of Eastern Idaho will be required to complete new student orientation, called Student Orientation, Advising, and Retention (SOAR). Details on how to sign up for orientation will be included in the student’s acceptance letter from CEI. New students will learn about College policies, work with an Academic Advisor on their program to build a schedule, select and register for classes.
Continuing students will be notified of the dates they may begin to register via their CEI email address. Students are expected to register according to these dates.
By registering for a course(s), students agree to pay all applicable tuition and fees whether or not they attend all their courses.
CEI Email
CEI email is the primary means of communication for CEI students. Students will automatically get a CEI email account when they sign up for SOAR. They are shown how to access their school email during SOAR. Student email addresses have the following format: firstname.lastname@cei.edu. Students can access their CEI email accounts from any computer with an internet connection.
Students are expected to check their CEI email account on a regular basis as all official communications from the College will come via email from instructors and various offices on campus. It is the students’ responsibility to check their CEI email account. Failure to do so will result in missing messages about deadlines and other significant information.
Schedule of Classes
The schedule of classes is available online prior to each registration period and contains detailed information about the courses offered including dates, times, instructors, delivery methods, and locations. The most up-to-date course information can be accessed through Self-Service or www.cei.edu.
Student Class Level
The following number of completed credits determines a student’s class level:
| CLASS LEVEL |
CREDITS COMPLETED |
| Freshman |
1-30 |
| Sophomore |
31 or More |
Adding a Course
Students may decide to add additional courses after they have registered for the semester. Students are strongly encouraged to finalize their schedules as early as possible after registration begins. Enrollment in courses is dependent upon space availability and course prerequisites. Courses may not be added after the close of business hours on Friday of the first (1st) week of the new term or block. Please refer to the academic calendar for specific registration deadlines for each semester.
Prerequisites/Co-requisites
A prerequisite must be completed prior to gaining access to another course. A co-requisite must be completed at the same time with another requirement or course. If a course has a prerequisite or co-requisite, students will not be able to register for the course unless those requirements are in progress or have been met. Students can check the course catalog or talk to their advisor if they have questions about specific requirements.
Course Waitlists
A course waitlist is a list of students who want an opportunity to register for a section that is full. Students will be notified through their CEI email when a seat becomes available and will have twenty-four (24) hours to register for the seat. Students who are on a waitlist are encouraged to check their student email regularly for notifications. Instructors cannot override the waitlist.
Waitlists close the Friday after classes begin.
Waitlisted students are not considered enrolled in that course. Students must be officially registered for their waitlisted class before they are allowed to attend the class.
Auditing a Class
During open-registration periods, students may be able to register for courses under audit status, if there is space available. Regular tuition and fees apply.
Registration Changes
Registration/schedule changes are the responsibility of the student. The last day to register or add courses is the Friday of the first (1st) week of the block/semester. Failure to officially drop, withdraw, or change enrollment constitutes sufficient cause to receive a grade of (F) in the course. Students should be aware that withdrawal from courses may decrease veteran benefits, financial aid, etc. It is solely the responsibility of the student to withdraw from a course or do a total withdrawal.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) Course Restrictions
Registrations for CTE courses are limited to students who have been accepted into the specific program. If students wish to add a particular CTE course without being accepted into the program, they may request the course instructor’s permission to be added to the course. Students would need to fill out a General Petition and submit it to Student Affairs after obtaining instructor permission.
