NOTE: Should we experience any technical difficulties during WEBregistration, it will be closed down. In-person registration will continue as scheduled.
Monmouth University offers annual registration each March/April for the summer, fall and spring terms.
Continuing students are randomly assigned a “first access” date and time for their first opportunity to register.
Registration continues until the conclusion of the term’s Add/Drop Week. See the Academic Calendar for dates.
Matriculating students at Monmouth University are provided with access to an Academic Audit that charts the progress the student is making toward completion of his/her program of study.
The Academic Audit is an unofficial document and not a substitute for a transcript, certification, or any other official University document.
An official academic audit is issued by the Registrar’s Office when a student applies for graduation.
The Academic Audit includes:
- An assessment of all degree requirements for the program of study, including total credits earned, major and overall G.P.A.’s
- A display of transfer credits along with a listing of courses taken.
- Course exclusions such as those based on incomplete or failing grades.
- Approved and processed exceptions
Monmouth students are provided with WEBstudent, a portal that allows students in good academic standing to make and change their registrations.
Additionally, e-FORMS are available for your use:
- Registration: Swap class
- Registration: Withdraw from a class
IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
- Add Class
- Increase course load for a term. Student may incur additional tuition charges.
- Drop Class
- Remove class from registered load prior to the end of the term’s Add/Drop period. Eligible (if qualified) for tuition refund.
- Withdraw class
- Remove class from registered load after the conclusion of Add/Drop but before the “W” deadline. The refund will depend upon when the “withdraw” is processed.
- Tuition Refunds for Drops and Withdraws
- Determined by date the withdraw is received in the Registrar’s Office
Continuing matriculated students may take a leave of absence (LOA) if they intend to be away from the University for a full semester. A leave of absence enables students to resume studies under the curriculum of record.
A leave of absence e-FORM must be completed online each semester and submitted electronically to the Registrar's Office by the deadline date. There are no extensions or exceptions.
Students can self-register online beginning at the time and date they are authorized, providing that they have consulted with their academic advisor and received permission to self-register using WEBstudent. For specific dates and times for WEBregistration, review the information previously distributed by the Registrar's Office.
To verify your enrollment directly to a non-insurance company recipient, please log in to e-FORMS first and then select the Enrollment Verification form.
To have an enrollment verification sent directly to you for insurance or other purposes, please log in to your WEBstudent account.
Beginning in Fall 2008, Monmouth University reports enrollment status for all currently enrolled students to the National Student Clearinghouse, an organization that provides lenders with up-to-date status on student enrollment.
To send an enrollment verification directly to a third party, log in to your e-FORMS account and submit your request using the enrollment verification form.
Monmouth University also provides enrollment verifications to other parties you choose. For example, insurance companies typically require group and plan information. We do not send enrollment verifications to them, but mail it directly to the student so that he or she can include other required information.
Please log in to your WEBstudent account and submit this type of enrollment verification request from the Personal Academic Information page. If you have any questions please contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@monmouth.edu from your student e-mail account or by phone at 732-571-3477.
What is FERPA?
FERPA stands for The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. This is a federal law which restricts unauthorized access to a student’s academic, financial, and disciplinary information without prior consent from the student. The student may grant access to individuals that they chose by completing a FERPA form using e-FORMS, accessible via the student’s WEBstudent account.
When do I complete a FERPA form?
FERPA forms must be completed annually. You should complete your FERPA form in late August every year just before the new year begins to avoid any delays or confusion.
- To waive your FERPA privacy rights and designate another person access to your restricted records, complete a FERPA waiver.
- To send your parent a grade report, complete a Grade Report Release.
- To withhold your directory information, complete a FERPA – Do Not Disclose.

How do I notify the Registrar’s Office that my address has changed?
Currently enrolled students must use e-FORMS, accessible via WEBstudent. Please submit a Change of Address form. International students must change their address with the International Students Services Office.
How do I notify the Registrar’s Office that my name has changed?
Currently enrolled students use e-FORMS, accessible via WEBstudent. Name changes are only processed for currently enrolled students. A student must submit appropriate legal documentation to support the requested name change. Original documentation must be provided to the Office of Registration and Records (Wilson Hall, Room 208) within five (5) working days of submitting this form, or this form will be returned to the student, unprocessed. All supporting original documentation will be returned, intact, to the student, once the name change has been processed. Valid original documentation includes:
- Birth certificate (with raised seal)
- State issued marriage certificate
- Divorce decree (with statement noted authorizing the name change)
- Court order
- U.S. citizenship papers
Can I see what the University has in my student folder?
Yes, you can, provided you have been a student within the last five years. A 48-hour notice is requested. Call 732-571-3477 to arrange an appointment. If you were a student longer than five years ago, your academic transcript, which is your permanent record, is the only information available.
My records have been subpoenaed, but I don’t want anyone to have them. How can I prevent the University from turning over my records to the court?
The University must comply with any and all subpoena for records or it may be found to be in contempt of court. A subpoena for records can be “quashed,” but the quash is in motion of the court. Consult with your attorney. If you notify us that proceedings for a quash are in progress, you must subsequently forward to us the court motion to quash. If the University does not receive official court documents of a quash, it is bound to comply with the demands of the original subpoena.

How do I obtain a transcript?
Currently enrolled students may obtain an official copy of their transcript by submitting their request via e-FORMS, accessible from their WEBstudent menu. Former students and alumni may print and complete a Transcript Request Form. Please print out the form and complete it. Once complete you may mail it to our office or fax it to us at 732-263-5141 for processing.
Why can’t I order a transcript by phone or e-mail?
In accordance with University policy as well as with federal privacy laws, your signature is required for release of your academic transcript.
How long does it take to obtain a transcript?
The Registrar's Office requires an average of five business days to process a transcript request. This does not account for mailing and delivery time. During University peak times, at the beginning and end of each semester, please allow additional time for processing your request.
Can I have my transcript faxed?
No. Transcripts are printed on security paper which when faxed, obscure the academic information.
Veterans
