Administrative staff in the Office of Medical Education and Student Affairs register MD students in their classes before each semester. If a student requests any deviation from the regular curriculum, such as time away from medical school or a research year, they must contact the appropriate dean for approval before the start of the semester. Students in the Foundation phase should contact the Associate Dean for Admissions and Student Affairs; students in the Application phase and beyond should contact the Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Clinical Services.

Class registration for any term is not complete until the student is in compliance with all published procedures and until outstanding financial responsibilities to the University have been met. Students with a hold on their account preventing registration will be contacted to clear the hold before class registration can proceed. After the last date for changing courses, registration may only be permitted by joint consent of the Executive Associate Dean for Medical Education and Student Affairs or their designee, the Registrar, and the faculty of the desired courses. Tuition and fees are due and payable prior to the first day of class each semester.

A student's registration and attendance of classes is considered as agreement to comply with the rules and regulations of the University as published in the catalogs and other official publications of the school and as amended or revised during the student's continued enrollment.

Registration may be canceled during the first week of classes as stated in the University academic calendar with the precise date each semester. Cancellation of registration means that no deficiencies will be noted on the student's transcript. A student who wishes to leave the University after the first week must officially withdraw; honorable dismissal requires that this procedure be followed.

Withdrawal forms may be obtained in the School of Medicine Registrar's Office.
