There are 4 computer labs on campus for student use. Although labs are open when the University is open, labs can be reserved and unavailable at times.
Wireless Internet access is available in all buildings.
Regent Email
Important Overview• The official means by which Regent’s faculty and
staff communicate with you• Important messages from your professors,
advisors, and others will be in this email• You are responsible for checking daily (M-F)• You are responsible for responding to any inquiry
from any Regent faculty or staff• Email should not be ignored• Email is not akin to texting, tweeting, or Facebook
messages
Degree-seeking vs
Non-degree seeking
Early College = Non-degree
What does this mean?Since you are designated primarily as a high school or home school student, you will be a non-degree seeking student while enrolled in the Early College program. The primary purpose of this program is to help high school and home school students complete their respective diplomas, not to get a college degree.
What’s different?• You receive a discounted tuition rate• You do not have a “catalog year” – that is, starting in a particular
year does not hold your place in that catalog• You will not earn a degree from Regent while still enrolled in
your school• Some student programs are not available to you
Early College = Non-degree
Of course, however, you still must…• Complete all requirements found in the course’s syllabus (i.e., courses
are taught at a college level and typically require more work)• Adhere to the conduct code (e.g., academic integrity, Christ-like
behavior)• Abide by university policies (e.g., attendance and participation, etc.).• Follow university procedures • Submit payments and required paper work by their deadlines
In the end…• You can expect a challenging and rewarding learning experience• Courses completed at Regent will appear on a non-degree student
transcript• All course grades will be reflected, including grades of “W” “WF,” and
“I.”

work on their projects early and consistently

Registration Requirements
To continue with course registration in the Early College Program, the following two items must be part of the student’s file.
1. A completed FERPA waiver. Beginning August 15, 2012, a completed FERPA waiver is part of the required Admissions documentation for enrollment in the Early College Program. Additional information here.
2. Email [email protected] and indicate that the student and a parent or guardian viewed this Orientation PowerPoint.
FERPA
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974
Parental Access (page 53 of The Regent Undergraduate Catalog, 2012-2013)
The definition of “Student” under FERPA refers to a person who either has reached the age of 18 or who is attending an institution of post-secondary education. At the post-secondary level, parents have no inherent rights to inspect student records; this right is limited solely to the student. It is the University’s policy to release academic or financial information to parents and/or guardians of students (whether or not the student has reached the age of 18) only upon the student’s written authorization. The student may complete a “Student Information Release” (FERPA Waiver), available in the Registrar’s Office or online at http://www.regent.edu/admin/registrar/studentforms.cfm, to grant this authorization.
Textbooks
http://www.regent.edu/bookstore
Textbook requirements for registered courses can be accessed through the University Bookstore online or on-campus. You will need the course ID (ENGL 101), section number, and the course reference number (CRN). This information is available on the Semester Course Schedule.
Students may purchase new or used textbooks, rent textbooks, or purchase electronic copies (when available). If purchasing texts from other sources, be sure that the textbooks are the same edition and that they provide any electronic material that may have been with the original purchase.
Students can also view textbook requirements in the courses’ syllabus.
