Registration, Study Lists & Change of Address

Every quarter, all third- and fourth-year students must register and file their study lists by following the instructions given by the Registrar's Office. View your schedule online and consult with Maureen Mitchell in the Office of Curricular Affairs as needed.

Please abide by the deadlines for registration and study-list filing. Late registration and late study-list filing penalties are $50.00 each. If you neglect to register by the first week of the quarter, you will be suspended from your clerkship. Remember that you must be registered to receive malpractice insurance coverage. Don't jeopardize yourself, your patients, and the hospital by failing to register on time!

Full-time Student Status: The School of Medicine Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy requires that all students are registered for a minimum of 12 units per quarter. The exceptions are quarters where it is only possible to fit in one 9-unit core clerkship/vacation, and also spring quarter of the fourth year when students finish in mid-May.

Change of address: When you move and/or change your telephone number, you must update your information through the Registrar's online services page -- all contact information used by the Offices of Curricular and Student Affairs is derived from the Registrar's database.
