VISITING STUDENT NOTE:

Visiting Students please note that 1 Trinity course credit = 3.5 semester hours and 1.5 Trinity course credits = 5.25 semester hours. You need to check with your study abroad office and registrar’s office to see how many courses you will need to take to fulfill the minimum amount of credits you need per semester at your home institution. For example: If your school is on a 4-credit system (meaning each course is worth 4 credits) you will need to take 5 courses to transfer back a full course load to your home institution.

General Registration Guidelines:

• Each course has a maximum enrollment cap. Once this cap has been reached the course is closed and students are no longer able to register for this course. Registration is on a first come first serve basis, meaning courses are open until the enrollment cap is reached.

• There is a minimum enrollment of 5 students per course. After Registration there is the possibility that some courses may be canceled if the course is under enrolled.

• There is NO add/drop in Rome. What you register for during Rome registration week is your final course enrollment for the term.

• Courses will have waitlist but after course registration closes courses are final.

• You are advised to have back up courses planned out in case the course you want to take is filled or under enrolled.

• Trinity Students: Prior to course registration, you must receive approval for all courses for major/minor credit from your advisor, major and minor departments. Please email Simon Martin, Interim Academic Director (simon.martin@trincoll.edu) if you need a syllabus.

• All students have a registration hold on their account, and will not be able to register until your hold is removed on the morning of registration. All holds are removed at the same time by the registration system. 

• If you require academic accommodations, you must provide a letter from the Accommodation Services Office or the office who works with accommodations on your campus. Please provide a letter for the services/accommodations you will need while in Rome. Please UPLOAD  an official letter by May 1st.
