E-Bills are sent to students after each registration period. Financial services representatives are available year-round to assist students in satisfying their financial obligation to the University. Registration is not complete until payment is made, and the University reserves the right to drop a student from an individual class or from their entire program if payment is not made by the due date.

Registration and Liability

What Students and Parents Need to Know About Registration and Liability

With the exception of certain students in "block" programs of study, students at St. John’s University select their own classes. Once you register for a course, St. John’s considers your registration as a clear indication of your intention to attend that class.

Complete Your Registration

Students must pay their tuition and fees in full before registration can be completed. Students can access their eBills via connect.stjohns.edu. For information on payment options, please visit our Payment Options page, or contact the Office of Student Financial Services. Students having no payment due or a refund due, must complete their registration process by confirming registration for the semester via connect.stjohns.edu by going to the “View/Confirm Term Bill” section.

Liability

Whether you complete your registration, or we complete it for you, you are fully liable for your registration both academically and financially. This means that you must notify us officially if you will not attend St. John’s after your registration has been completed regardless of the reason for not attending.

To learn how to notify us officially that you will not attend classes for which you have registered, please review the Withdrawing from Class section below.

Visit the School of Law Registrar's website for additional information on its registration policies and procedures.

Withdrawing From Class

How To Notify Us Officially That You Will Not Attend Classes

When you register for a class, St. John’s University considers your registration to be a clear indication of your intention to attend that class. If you change your mind about attending class or if circumstances prevent you from attending, you must notify us officially of your change in status. The manner in which you do so depends on when during the semester you make your decision.  

Dropping A Class/Adding a Class

You may drop or add a class via connect.stjohns.edu through the first week of the semester. When dropping classes, please note the following: 

  • You may drop classes via the UIS as long as you are not dropping all your classes.
  • UIS will NOT allow you to drop your last class.  If you have only one class, UIS will not allow you to drop it.   
  • If you want to drop all your classes, you must inform your dean of this in writing.

Dean's Permission

During the second and third weeks of the semester, you may still drop a class, but you need permission from your Dean’s Office. Bring this permission to the Office of the Registrar and we will drop the class for you. Classes dropped through the first three weeks of the semester do not appear on your transcript. 

Withdrawing From a Class

After the last day of the third week of the semester, if you would like to drop a class, it will be noted as a withdrawal (WD) on your transcript. This mark does not get calculated into your GPA. Please consult the academic calendar for the last day to withdraw from a class.

To withdraw from one or more of your classes, you must contact your Dean’s Office. You should visit the office in-person so that someone can discuss this decision with you. If you cannot visit the office, you must put your request in writing. 

There is no guarantee that a request for withdrawal after the date indicated in the academic calendar will be approved. If a request after the deadline is not approved, you will receive a grade in the course.

Note:

  • Dropping or withdrawing from a class is an academic action initiated by students. If you do not drop a class during the first three weeks of the semester it will remain on your transcript whether or not you attended the class, even if you are subsequently allowed to withdraw from the class.
  • You may be entitled to a full or partial refund of tuition paid for a class. Refunds are based on the official date on which you drop or withdraw whether via UIS or through the office of your dean.
  • Your dean may not indicate as the date of drop or withdrawal a date prior to your official written request.

Additional Resources

You can find additional information on refunds from the Office of the Bursar.
