Continuing Students

A continuing student is one who has enrolled for credit courses at Germanna within the last three years. You are encouraged to meet with an advisor regarding your program of study on a regular basis. If you are a degree-seeking student, you may make an online appointment with an advisor. You may self-advise and register using the web registration providing you meet the following criteria:

1. You must have at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average at Germanna, and
2. You must have completed all developmental courses required for your program of study.
3. Be a transient student (primarily enrolled at another institution)
4. Possess a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution.

Course Prerequisites

All students must meet course prerequisites.

Self-Advising

The College is not responsible for course choices and meeting requirements for degree programs for those students who choose to self-advise. Students choosing to self-advise are responsible for selecting courses that meet prerequisites and requirements of their chosen major or career/personal goals.

On-time Registration

On-time registration is a new Germanna policy based on research that demonstrates students are more likely to complete a course successfully when they register early or at least on time. It is our commitment to help you succeed by making sure all students are ready to learn on the first day of class.
