6th Course Registration

Information on Taking an Extra Course

For Spring 2025, if you wish to take an “extra” course, Providence College allows students to do so for no additional tuition on a “seat-available” basis. Please refer to the Maximum Credit Registration Guide for more information.

If you are interested in registering for an extra course, you will be able to do so through CyberFriar starting on Friday, December 6th at 9:00 AM.

1. Students must be in good academic standing to take an extra course.
   Undergraduate students must spend at least eight semesters in full-time attendance unless the period is reduced by advanced standing credit from another institution as reviewed and approved by the Student Success Center. The College reserves the right, for extraordinary reasons, to allow graduation at the completion of seven semesters following the successful petition by students to the Committee on Academic Status. Students may also petition the Committee on Academic Status to be allowed to accelerate their degree program through summer and/or winter session work (usually through the Providence College School of Continuing Education); such petitions must be received by the Student Success Center by the end of their sophomore year. Appeals of the decisions of the Committee on Academic Status should be presented to the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, whose decisions will be final.
2. Extra course registration is allowed on a seat-available basis.
