Registering for classes is a student's professional responsibility. Students who do not register, file a study list, and/or pay fees on time may not attend classes or clerkships until their registration obligations have been met.

The School of Medicine Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy requires that all students be registered for the appropriate number of minimum units per quarter according to curricular phase. Details regarding full-time enrollment status by quarter are outlined below.

If a student registers late for more than one quarter and therefore files more than one request for permission to return to classes, they may receive an Institutional Physicianship form for failing to meet administrative responsibilities.

Please refer to the Registrar's website for all registration, fee payment, and study list filing deadlines.
