Registration Information

As always, please contact the Registrar’s Office or the Advising Office if you have any questions or need assistance.

If you wish to drop classes, you must do so in writing. A drop form is available on the Registrar’s Office webpage under Forms or in the Registrar’s Office. You can also email the drop to registrar@alverno.edu.  This must be from your Alverno email account. You need written permission from the instructor to add a course if it has already begun.

View registration instructions here.

Below are the definitions of the delivery methods of your classes:

  • Face-to-face: Course meets in-person during designated days and times
  • Hybrid: Course meets in-person during designated days and times with remote learning components built in to reduce the amount of in-person days a class will meet
  • Online synchronous: Learning that takes place online but happens in real-time with regular course meetings on specific dates and during specific times
  • Online asynchronous: Learning takes place remotely through virtual means that do not require normal or regular meetings at the same place or time
  • Flex: Course is offered both in person and virtually. Students choose whether to attend face to face or virtually. Faculty determine if virtual learning is offered synchronous and/or asynchronous. Students should check with faculty for more details

 

Student Information: Review your student information from IOL. Under User Account click on the “Update My Information” link with any changes to your personal or family information.

Graduation Audit (not on IOL): For students expecting to graduate in the next year.  If a graduation audit was emailed to you from the Registrar’s Office, please review the information as you select your courses.

Access the Registrar’s Office webpage to find information such as: calendars, electives, final assessment schedules, matrix, etc. If preferred, you can stop in the Registrar’s Office for assistance (FO 144).

Personal Enrichment Students: For non-Alverno students or students not pursuing a degree, you do not need to go through the admission process or send in transcripts from other schools. However, you do need instructor permission in order to register for a class.  Our classes are listed on IOL.

Access Interactive Online (IOL) at https://iol.alverno.edu.

Select “Student Menu”, then “Search for Classes” under Registration.

For the search you only need to select 3 items:

  • Term
  • Subject
  • Academic Level

Click on the “Submit” button at the bottom and you will get everything that is offered for that subject.  Once you decide on a class, contact the instructor via email to get instructor permission. There are registration forms to complete that can be emailed to you. Please contact us at 414-382-6370 so we can email the forms to you. You can forward the email from the instructor that gives you permission to take the class with your completed registration forms to the Registrar’s Office at registrar@alverno.edu. Once you return the forms and permission to us we can register you for the class.

Alverno College Credit Hour Definition Approved by the Educational Policies Committee 9/22/16
Alverno College is on the semester hour system. Students in Weekday College and Adult Evening and Online programs must complete a minimum of 120 credit hours to earn a baccalaureate degree. A full-time course load is 12-18 credits hours. Students in graduate programs have varying numbers of credits for program completion, but a full-time course load is 6 credit hours. A credit hour is typically defined by a combination of in-class instruction and study outside of class, totaling three hours per credit earned, for 15 weeks.
Exceptions to this definition include studio courses, clinical experiences, directed research, travel courses, internships and practicums, and other experiences faculty offer to students outside of the usual laboratory or classroom setting.
