Graduate Registration Form

Non-Matric Application (required of students who have not been admitted to a Trinity graduate program and have never taken a graduate course at Trinity.)

Enrollment for summer graduate courses is completed only through the Office of Graduate Studies and Special Academic Programs.  The registration deadline is one week before the start of each session.  Students may register by mail or in person.  Graduate registration forms may be mailed to:

The Registrar's Office

Trinity College
300 Summit Street
Hartford, CT 06106-3100

Summer classes may be limited in size, so early registration is encouraged.  Courses that do not meet minimum enrollment numbers may be cancelled at the discretion of the professor, or by the College.

All summer applicants must submit the tuition payment and registration fee, along with the registration form. A summer application is not complete until all required materials, including the simple application form, official transcripts, and vouchers issued by employers, have been received and all fees have been paid. 

Auditors
Persons who do not wish to receive credit for specific courses may, with permission of the instructor and the Office of Graduate Studies, register as auditors.  They will receive neither credit nor a grade.  Although auditors are not obligated to take examinations, or fulfill other course criteria unless required to do so by the instructor, they must meet the instructor’s course attendance requirements.

Financial Aid
A Graduate Grant is available to approved candidates for the Master’s degree who have completed at least two courses in their major field of study at Trinity; it is not available to students who have not matriculated.  The grant entitles the recipient to a maximum of one-half reduction of tuition for one course in Summer Session I and one course in Summer Session II, for a maximum of two courses during the Summer Term.  Grants are not automatically renewable; a new application must be made for each semester.  Applications for Summer Term grants must be presented separately and the deadline to apply for both sessions is April 15.  Awards are based primarily on financial need. Application forms are available only from the Office of Graduate Studies & Special Academic Programs.

REGULATIONS

Attendance, Withdrawal, and Refunds
In the Summer Term, each class meeting is the equivalent of one week of classes during the academic year.  Students are, therefore, expected to attend all meetings of the course(s) for which they enroll.  They are not entitled to excused absences.  Excessive absences will be sufficient cause for withdrawal from the course.

Students who wish to withdraw from a course must do so either in a written communication to the Registrar's Office or in person at the same office.  Failure to attend a class or notification to the professor do not constitute withdrawal from the course.  All such unofficial withdrawals will result in the grade of “F.”

Students who withdraw before the first meeting of a course will receive a full tuition refund.  If withdrawal occurs after the first class meeting but before the second class meeting, the student will receive a tuition refund minus a fee of  $300 or $100 for auditors.  Ordinarily, no refunds will be granted after the second class meeting.  A grade of “W” will appear on the transcript for a course withdrawal after the second class meeting.

Parking
Trinity is an urban campus and, as such, has limited parking facilities.  Therefore, all students must register automobiles with the Campus Safety Office, located at 76 Vernon Street.  The Campus Safety Office will provide parking permits and information on campus parking regulations

ID Cards
All students must have a bar-coded ID card in order to use many essential campus facilities, such as the Library, Computing Center, and Athletic Center.  The College Library urgently requests that the loss or theft of a bar-coded ID card be reported immediately to the circulation librarian or circulation assistant.
