Academic Resources
Course Registration and Academic Advisors
All undergraduate and graduate students at Edgewood College are assigned an academic advisor upon acceptance to the college. Academic advisors educate, mentor, and work in partnership with students to realistically assess their academic progress and make informed decisions as they develop and implement their academic and professional plans.
How to Register for Courses?
Every undergraduate student at Edgewood selects courses for the next semester with the assistance of her/his academic advisor. Three weeks before registration begins, students receive an email from Edgewood Central with the date and time they may register. Before your registration date, you must meet with your academic advisor to discuss your course selection. After this meeting, your advisor will release your registration hold and you will be able to register online by using Edgewood Express. Students typically register for the fall semester in April and for the spring semester in November.
Graduate students should consult with their assigned academic advisor regarding their academic plan and course enrollment.
*For further questions about how many credits to enroll in each semester, visit the full-time student status page.

Academic Policies and Grading System
Academic Policies
Each year the College publishes an Edgewood College Catalog, which contains information about student services, academic policies, the grading system, requirements for academic majors, and much more. All students should carefully read the sections of the Catalog that pertain to them. You are responsible for knowing this information. If you have questions, please ask your academic advisor or the Center for Global Education staff for assistance.
Another document that is published each year is Course Descriptions. This document contains descriptions for every course offered at Edgewood College.
You can find both of these documents online at: https://catalog.edgewood.edu/
