Franklin University
Students must register for class at least one week prior to the session start date. Currently enrolled students can add or drop courses by accessing Student Planning under the shortcuts tab at https://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 (available in the Office of Student Services or the Academic Advising Resource Center at https://profiles.franklin.edu) and submitting it in one of the following ways:
- Email to advising@franklin.edu (from your email.franklin.edu account)
- Mail to: Student Services, Franklin University, 201 S. Grant Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43215-539
- Drop-off at any Franklin University location
- Schedule an appointment with an Academic Advisor
After a student has submitted a Course Add/Drop Form, the completion of required course prerequisites will be verified. Completed registration requests will appear in Student Planning on the student’s my.Franklin account. Late registration or course additions after published registration deadlines are only accepted with Lead Faculty and Academic Advisor permission. Students with prior financial balances or financial aid “holds” must contact the Business Office prior to registering. All transcripts from all high schools and colleges attended are required. The omission of any transcript from a student’s application will result in a hold placed on that student’s account, prohibiting them from all future course registration until the missing documentation is provided.
Cross Registration
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.
Audit Courses
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 Affairs no later than the end of the first week of the session in which the class is to be audited. Once a course has been audited, the student may not complete the course for credit. Fees may apply.
