Course Registration

Currently enrolled students who have access to the Internet can add courses by accessing their personalized Web page, my.franklin.edu. Students utilizing this method of registration must still adhere to current University regulations regarding adding courses. Students can also register by completing a Course Add/Drop Form and submitting it to the Office of Student Services in one of the following ways:

• phone-in: 1.877.341.6300
• fax-in: 614.947.6786
• mail-in: Student Services, Franklin University, 201 S. Grant Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43215-5399
• drop-off at the Paul J. Otte Center for Student Services or the Indianapolis location
• schedule an appointment with an Academic Advisor

After a student has submitted a Course Add/Drop Form, course prerequisites will be checked and a confirmation copy of the schedule and fee statement will be given to the student or forwarded by mail. Late registrations or additions of courses after published deadlines are not accepted without the Lead Faculty or Academic Advisor’s permission after the class has ended the first class meeting of the second week of the trimester (or the equivalent date for a session class).

Students with prior financial balances or financial aid “holds” must contact the Business Office prior to registering.

Graduate students will be registered for courses based on the signed admission confirmation form submitted at the beginning of their program. If a graduate student wishes to change their requested method of registration, they must contact their Graduate Academic Advisor. A copy of the signed admission confirmation form is kept on file for each graduate student.

An approved copy of the schedule and fee statement will be forwarded to students each trimester. If there are problems connected with registration, students must contact the appropriate Graduate Academic Advisor to make the necessary changes. Registrations or additions of courses are not accepted without the instructor’s permission after the class has met the first time. The Graduate Academic Advisor will drop or change a student’s schedule through communication with the student.

Students with prior financial balances or financial aid “holds” must clear these problems prior to registration.

Franklin is committed to offering you the flexible, convenient course formats you need to balance your education with the demands of military life.

The registration period begins two months prior to the course start date and closes ten days prior to the course start date. Visit the GoArmyEd Portal for a list of this term's registration deadlines.

We also understand that your military obligations might make it difficult to complete a course. You can drop or withdraw from a course via the GoArmyEd Portal.

All registration activity must be initiated through the GoArmyEd portal.

No credit is given for audited courses. Each auditor must do all the work required of a student enrolled in the course for credit, except take examinations. Fees and tuition for auditing are the same as those charged when courses are taken for credit. Audit status must be indicated in writing to the Office of Student Services no later than the end of the first week of the session in which the class is to be audited.

Upon receipt of the proper form by the Registrar's Office, the University will notify a student's employer by letter that the student has enrolled for a trimester or has completed a trimester's work. 

Franklin University participates in a cross-registration system with the other colleges and universities in the Higher Education Council of Columbus (HECC). These institutions are Capital University, The Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus State Community College, DeVry University (Columbus, Ohio location only), Ohio Dominican University, The Ohio State University, Otterbein College, and the Pontifical College Josephinum.

Cross-registration allows full-time students at Franklin University to register for enrichment classes at other HECC institutions. Students will register, pay tuition and receive grades at Franklin University. To participate, undergraduate students must have earned at least 24 credit hours at Franklin University and must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00. Course selection is limited to one per trimester and may not be more than a total of three per lifetime. Also, students may not cross-register for a course that is available at Franklin University. Cross-registration is not permitted during Summer Trimester.

Students must meet with the Registrar to make arrangements to cross-register.
