Registration Acknowledgement and Responsibility Statement

By registering for classes, I acknowledge that timely graduation and continued eligibility for financial aid (including Cal Grant, if applicable) require appropriate unit enrollment as outlined by the University. I understand that I am responsible for knowing and complying with all add, drop, and withdrawal deadlines; monitoring my course schedule through LancerLink; and communicating with my Student Success Coach, Admissions Counselor, and Financial Aid as required. I acknowledge that registration may be administratively adjusted by the University when warranted. I understand that failure to officially drop or withdraw from courses or the University may result in academic penalties, loss or reduction of financial aid, and financial charges. I agree to fulfill all financial obligations to California Baptist University in accordance with University policies and deadlines, and I understand that access to grades, transcripts, and diplomas may be restricted until my account is paid in full. By proceeding, I confirm that I have read, understand, and agree to the policies and degree requirements outlined in the University Catalog.
