Pre-Enrollment Letter

Dear MALS Students:

Hope that your term is going well!
This letter is a reminder of the steps involved in the on-line registration and the check-in process.
To avoid any confusion over the steps involved in on-line registration, PLEASE READ THIS LETTER CAREFULLY!

There are three (3) steps to the registration process, as follows:

---

STEP ONE    (Pre-Enrollment)

(Please remember that completing this step of the process DOES NOT automatically register you for courses. For on-line course selection, and registration, see step two.)

Complete the MALS Plan of Study Form. The courses for this year and the course descriptions for the classes offered this term are here. .

If you open the form attached to the e-mail, or download it from our website, you will need to:

• print it out
• fill it in
• mail, fax (603-646-3590), or hand-deliver it to the MALS office at 116 Wentworth Hall

Please Note:Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to read the "PDF" file, but will not allow you to save your information. You should, however, print a hard copy for your records.

The information you provide on this form indicates whether you will be enrolled in the upcoming term. This enables us to plan class sizes, and the Bursar’s office to activate your student account for billing purposes.

(For those students who are taking "off" one or more terms (leave term), or who are pursuing thesis research on an independent, un-enrolled basis; complete step one ONLY. However, students registering for Thesis Research or an Independent Study are required to complete all three steps.

Please Note: MALS students have the option of conducting thesis research and writing without being enrolled. However, all students enrolling in thesis research MUST be in residence in the Hanover area, and sign a thesis research residency agreement.

STEP TWO     (Enrollment/Registration)

On-line course selection is through Banner Student Although you have indicated (in step one) your preferences on the pre-enrollment form, you are still required to make your course selection on-line. This step ensures your place in your classes, and should be completed by the dates indicated above. If you are taking an undergraduate course as an elective, these courses require instructor permission. Print out the Elective Course Contract

---

STEP THREE    (On-line CHECK-IN)

• This is NOT course selection.
• This is NOT registration.
• This IS your signal to the college that you have arrived on campus and are prepared to accept the charges for the term. You will also update your personal information, i.e., address, phone #, etc.

IF YOU SKIP THIS STEP, YOUR CLASS ENROLLMENT/REGISTRATION IS NOT COMPLETE.

Please go to Banner Student AGAIN and follow the check-in instructions. When you successfully complete the check-in process, you will be rewarded with a smiley face:-).

NEW STUDENTS: YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COME INTO THE MALS OFFICE TO COMPLETE CHECK-IN ON THE DAY OF ORIENTATION!.

As many of you know, accurate bills and class lists are dependent upon the information you provide to us – and the entire process depends upon all three steps being completed within the respective dates given. So PLEASE do your best to comply with all these instructions, cumbersome as they may seem.

On behalf of the MALS Office, good luck with your plans, and I look forward to seeing you next term.

Best regards,
Lauren E. Clarke
