Students are required to register for courses before each academic term. Prior to each registration period, course listings, specific registration dates, and registration instructions are posted online on the Office of Registration and Records webpage. Students may not register for a course they are currently enrolled in for the following semester until official grades are posted.

Prior to registration, students must accept any Registration Holds on their account. Accepting registration holds will enable the student to register on the day and time listed in the Academic Calendar.

Registration is available through SONISWeb. Registration time is based on the student’s classification (sophomore, freshman, non-degree, etc.) and program. After a student has registered online, a student should print a copy of their class schedule to verify that the online registration process was completed.

To view class schedule information, registration dates and instructions, forms for changing name or address, and requesting official transcripts, please refer to the Office of Records and Registration webpage at https://www.thechristcollege.edu/registrar.

Please note that The College reserves the right to cancel courses and course sections, even after registration has taken place, if there is low enrollment, if a qualified faculty person or clinical site is unavailable, or if other extenuating circumstances occur. Every effort will be made to place students in other sections of the same course, if possible. Students will be notified of any changes via their TCC email.

Official transcripts are released from The Christ College when authorization is received and the student’s financial obligations to The College have been met. Official transcripts may be requested securely via the National Student Clearinghouse. Using this process also allows students to track the processing of the order and receive email and text alerts regarding the request. To access the transcript request page, students should visit the website at: www.thechristcollege.edu and select ‘Quicklinks’ -> ‘Onestop’ -> ‘Request Transcript of Grades.’

Transcripts may be mailed or emailed but cannot be faxed. Currently enrolled students may access and print their unofficial academic record by logging into SONIS.

To graduate from The Christ College, a student must have satisfied all completion requirements. These include having:

1. Satisfactorily completed all specific program requirements.
2. Achieved a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 “C”.
3. Satisfied any applicable academic residency requirements.

Students will be recognized with one of the following honorary designations:

• Summa Cum Laude 3.90 – 4.00 GPA
• Magna Cum Laude 3.70 – 3.89 GPA
• Cum Laude 3.50 – 3.69 GPA
