Registrar Course Registration ^ You will be able to register for courses at a pre- orientation Griffin K.E.Y.S. event. If you are unable to attend a Griffin K.E.Y.S. event, your advisor will help you register at a different time. Once registered, you can find your course schedule online via Self-Service. The Self-Service icon can be found on the GMercyU Portal. Look over your schedule carefully. If you have any questions, contact your advisor, the dean of your school, or the Registrar’s Office. *Notify the Campbell Solution Center (campbellsolutioncenter@ gmercyu.edu) in writing immediately if you don’t plan on attending one or more of your classes. Be sure to use your GMercyU email for all electronic communication. Please review GMercyU's Academic Calendar for important deadlines (gmercyu.edu/registrar). See the University Catalog for more information on University policies, including drop/add deadline and "W" grades (gmercyu.edu/publications). FERPA The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 [FERPA] is intended to protect the privacy of a student’s educational records, to establish the rights of students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal or formal hearings. Under the provisions of FERPA, directory information is considered public information and, as such, may be made available to third parties unless you request to be excluded from such published information. The following information is considered “directory” information by GMercyU: Name, phone number, date and place of birth, address, GMercyU email address, dates of attendance, full or part time status, class level, major, fields of study, degrees conferred (including dates), honors and awards, and photography. If you do not wish to have this information about you made public, you must notify the Office of the Registrar in writing by the end of the drop/add period, which is shortly after classes start in the fall. 12
