Registrar's Office
The Registrar's Office is on the lower level of Voorhees Hall, adjacent to the Business Office. Hours are 8:00-Noon and 12:30-4:30 P.M. Monday through Friday during the academic year. The office is closed on all college holidays. Summer hours are 8:00-Noon and 1:00-4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The office closes at 3:00 p.m. on Fridays during the summer.
During the regular academic year, students may make appointments with staff members during the office hours, or meet on a drop in basis, as staff are available. Matters related to private/personal academic matters should be made in person, not by telephone.
Forms and papers related to dropping and adding courses, S/U changes, faculty advisors, declaration of major of study, off–campus courses, transcripts, transfer work, petitions, honors thesis and independent study applications, and course schedules are available in the Registrar's Office and on this website. The office may be reached at 399 8526, fax 319 399 8748, or via e-mail: O-Registrar@coe.edu.
Registration
Course credits cannot be earned unless a student is officially registered for a course taken at the college. Registration for courses and changes in registration is only on my.coe.edu during fall and spring registrations or by the student in the Registrar's Office. Informal agreements and communications between a student and faculty member and advisor do not constitute official registration.
Procedure:
- Students must consult with their advisor prior to registration to obtain the advisor's release from registration hold.
- Registration times are posted in the schedule of courses for the term. Students may register at or after their assigned time at any computer port on my.coe.edu. It is advisable that students have choices available for alternate courses in the event their first choices have filled.
- Students may change their registration until the deadlines posted on the College Calendar. The date the signed slip is returned to the Registrar's Office, not the date it was signed, determines whether the change meets the deadline. An unauthorized change results in failure of the course.
- Requests to change the registration after deadlines are made on a petition form available and returnable to the Registrar's Office. The Petitions Committee meets weekly. Petitions are approved for extenuating; mitigating circumstances only and the unusual circumstances must be documented with appropriate written evidence such as physician's note. Dropping a course late only because the student is earning a failing grade is not an extenuating circumstance.

Repeating a Course
A course can be repeated only once at Coe College. It is the student's responsibility to notify the Registrar's Office that the course is being repeated. A course earns only one credit when repeated and the second grade point is computed in the cumulative grade point average.
Calculating Grade Point Average
Using the "cumulative totals line" from your Coe College transcript or grade report (see following example), a student may project a desired GPA using the following:
Example: The student has the following numbers on the cumulative total line.
|
CA |
GPCA |
CE |
GPS |
GPA |
|
10.80 |
10.40 |
10.80 |
37.44 |
3.600 |
The sophomore whose transcript cumulative totals line appears above has a cumulative grade point average of 3.600 and has attempted 10.40 graded courses. He/she wished to determine the grades necessary for the next term to reach a 3.700 cumulative GPA.

| 6. |
Subtract current grade points earned (GPS) |

| 7. |
Remainder equals grade points (GPS) needed |
15.84 |
| 8. |
Divide by desired grade point of 3.7 = grade point needed for next term in four courses student will be taking |
3.96 |
Note: If in doubt about your calculations please request that the Registrar's Office verify your figures.
Transcripts
Official transcripts for courses taken at Coe College can only be issued by the Registrar's Office and only after the office has received a written request from the student. This can be sent in the form of a letter or form completed in the office. Requests are also accepted via fax (319-399-8748) or e-mail (O-Registrar@coe.edu) provided you telephone 319-399-8528 to make payment arrangements. Charges for transcripts are $5.00 for official copies and $3.00 for unofficial copies. Transcript requests are processed on Mondays and Thursdays and require at least a 24 hour lead time.
