PAYING BY CREDIT CARD
Click on Course Fee Payments. Log in (UCD LoginID and Kerberos password - the same login/password you use for SISWEB) and enter the total number of classes that you plan to take for the quarter (including Cross Registration courses). Pay for the courses using your credit card. You then receive an e-mail receipt that you have paid. You are released for units and can enroll via SISWEB. You can pay using up to 2 credit cards (one for each course), but you must log in separately for each credit card payment.

If you wish to request Cross Registration, be sure to select the Cross Registration option when registering so the course differential fee is calculated into your total.

PAYING BY CHECK OR MONEY ORDER (Faxes not accepted)
Click on Course Fee Payments. Log in (UCD LoginID and Kerberos password - the same login/password you use for SISWEB) and enter the number of classes you plan to take. Print and return the Registration Request Form with your payment to the University Cashier. You can only submit check/money order payment via mail or in-person at the UC Davis Cashier’s Office on the main campus.

Mail (check or money order) payment with legible registration form including phone number to:
UC Davis, P.O. Box 989062, West Sacramento, CA 95798-9062.

It is your responsibility to mail or deliver the form in time to meet the payment deadline. The $250 Registration Penalty Fee cannot be waived because of mail delays.

REGISTRATION PENALTY FEE
If you have not met both payment and registration deadlines, you incur a $250 registration penalty fee.

TIMELINE - CREDIT CARD PAYMENT
Registration system is open to you, if not immediately, within 24 hours of your payment.

TIMELINE – CASH, CHECK OR LETTER-OF-CREDIT PAYMENT
The registration system is open to you three business days after your registration form is received and fees are posted to your account.

Check SISWEB to see when your payment has been posted and your account has been updated. If fewer than three days have passed since you paid, you cannot register yet.

WAIT LIST OPENS Monday, November 30
To register for a wait listed class, you must pay for the units prior to enrolling. You are on the wait list if you see a number (001, 002, etc.). This number indicates your place on the wait list. If you see 000 instead, you are NOT on the wait list.

You can view where you are on a wait list after it opens in the Student Detailed Schedule (on SISWEB); position #1 means first on the wait list. Once wait listed, students are moved from the wait list into available seats each night after registration closes. You do not receive a notice once you are added. Check SISWEB periodically for your most current enrollment status.

The professor cannot change your place on the wait list.

CROSS REGISTRATION OPENS December 1 - and closes December 10
You may request enrollment in Davis and Bay Area courses if there is space available and you follow the cross registration instructions. If you intend to use the cross registration option, only make the cross registration payment and request once cross registration is open. If you choose to pay for cross registration courses after your initial payment, follow the instructions for Adding An Additional Course.

If you enroll in a Bay Area course and decide later to drop that course and replace it with a cross registration course which entitles you to the course differential credit, refunds will be made during the third week of the quarter.

NOT ENROLLING THIS QUARTER
File a Non-Registration Statement by the last day of registration. UC Davis determines that any break in registration means a student has withdrawn from the program. Filing the Non-Registration Statement confirms your continued program eligibility.

Please note, you must complete 18 units (6 courses) for minimum academic progress for the 2009-10 academic year. Not meeting the minimum academic progress requirement results in you being placed on Academic Probation.

ADDING AN ADDITIONAL COURSE
Click on Course Fee Payments. To allow the system to accept an additional payment, put the total number of courses you wish to take for the quarter. (For example, if you initially paid for two courses, put three courses in to add one more.)

DROPPING A COURSE
Please check Academic Calendar for Drop Dates. It is your responsibility to be aware of these deadlines. Courses may be dropped using SISWEB, unless you are only enrolled in one course for the quarter. In that case, contact the for assistance in dropping the course.

REFUNDS
Refunds are not automatically issued by the University when you drop a course and can only be processed after GSM approval. To request your refund, contact the .

SMARTSITE ACCESS
When you change courses after initial enrollment or add an additional course, it takes 24 hours for the registration information to be updated in SmartSite. The change is not reflected immediately.

GRADE CHANGE TIMELINE
If a grade change or incomplete grade change is submitted on your behalf, this is a manual process that takes 4-5 weeks before you see it reflected electronically.

MBA CONSULTING CENTER PROJECTS
If you are interested in a Consulting Center project for this quarter, see the MBA Consulting Center information website. Projects for the upcoming quarter and generally available about 3 weeks prior to the start of the quarter. You may only register if you are selected for a team. (The registration penalty fee will be waived if you enroll within 5 days of being notified you are on a team.)

COURSES AND CONCENTRATIONS
If you have questions about an individual course, please check the course syllabus and/or contact the professor directly.

If you have questions about the applicability of a certain course to your goals, please contact either or the graduate advisor, . Here is information on Areas of Concentrations.

HOLIDAYS
UC Davis observes administrative holidays December 24 - January 3, January 18 and February 15.

INDEPENDENT STUDY (299 Course) - VARIABLE UNIT TOTALS
Complete the MGT 299 Form, have the sponsoring faculty member and the GSM Graduate Advisor sign it and submit it PRIOR to the first day of the quarter. 299 numbered courses default to 1 unit. You must manually enter "3" for the number of units. If this change is not made, your account is not billed correctly and you do not receive full academic credit for the course.

298 course title(s) in SISWEB will appear as "Directed Independent Study". The GSM course title as it appears on your course page will not be listed.

AM I ON TRACK TO GRADUATE?
A self-evaluation is available using the Degree Check Worksheet.

The University accepts an employer letter of credit (LOC) as payment for course fees. All payment and registration deadlines and procedures apply to students using a LOC as payment (see Letter of Credit Payment).

The credit organization only pays for the courses stated on the LOC. If you change your mind and enroll in another course, you cannot be reimbursed unless you file a new LOC with Student Accounting for that quarter (by the first day of the quarter).

If you are not enrolled in the appropriate number of units (298 or 299 courses), you cannot be reimbursed for the total cost of the course.

A LOC is not accepted after the first day of the quarter for payment that quarter. A LOC cannot be submitted retroactively for previous quarters.

A LOC must be signed and emailed directly to Cherie Hood, Student Accounting, . (Faxes no longer accepted.) Your UCD ID number recorded in the top right corner of the document is mandatory. Once a complete LOC has been submitted, you are able to enroll within 3 business days. If you need to follow-up, contact at (530) 752-1444.

Every LOC MUST include the following: UC Davis GSM (not University Extension), course name, number and CRN, the dates for the entire 10 week quarter (no variations), and your UCD ID number recorded in the top right corner.

If a LOC does not have this information, it is returned to you for corrections and therefore delays your payment. (You are subject to the $250 registration penalty fee if you submit an incomplete form and you miss the payment deadline because corrections or additions are needed to properly process the LOC.)

SAMPLE INFORMATION FOR LOC
Institution: UC Davis Graduate School of Management
Approved Courses: (80714) MGP 270-1 Corp Financial Reporting; (80713) MGP 261-1 Investment Analysis

It is your responsibility to work directly with your employer's credit organization on issues regarding LOC issues. The GSM cannot contact a credit organization on your behalf.

If your company has only recently decided to offer the benefit of paying fees using a LOC, you need to contact Cherie Hood to set up the appropriate account for your employer.
