What
is a degree audit and what do I do with it?
|
Your
degree audit is an advising tool designed to assist you in planning
for graduation. It matches the course that you have taken, are
currently taking or pre-registered for your degree requirements.
It is customized to your specific major(s) and/or minor(s) requirements
as outline in the CU bulletin for which you came under.
To finalize your degree audit, you need to obtain all the necessary
signatures. These signatures include your advisor for all majors
and minors, the dean’s signature for Nursing, the Conservatory
and the School of Management or the department chair for the
Arts & Sciences and the School for Education and Professional
Studies. Note: All education majors need additional education
chair’s signature.
Failure to obtain the necessary signatures in a timely fashion
could result in a delay of your graduation from Capital University.

I’m
a high school senior who is thinking about coming to Capital.
Who should I contact?
|

I
need to know how much money I owe so I can register for classes?

Student Accounts Office handles all the money for tuition. The
Registrar’s Office only handles the registration process.
We have no way of knowing what you owe. Click
here to go to the Student Accounts web page. |

How
do I know what signatures I need on an add/drop slip?
|
| You
will always need your advisor’s
signature to make any changes. You will need the instructor’s
signature if a class you are adding is closed and to drop a
class, you need the instructor’s signature and last date
of attendance after the first two weeks of the fall
or spring semester. After the first two weeks,
you will need dean’s signature to add a class. After approximately
eight weeks you will need the dean’s signature to drop
a class with a “W” recorded. |

What
does a “W” mean when I drop a class after the
period?
|
| The
“W” shows you withdrew from the class. It does not
calculate into your GPA |

How
do I know if I have ever requested a transcript before?
|
| You
can contact the transcript coordinator at (614) 236-6707 and
simply ask. You can also email your questions to our office
at registrar@capital.edu. |
| 7. |
How
come you can’t give out information over the phone?
|
| Under
the Family and Educational Privacy Rights Act, we are unable
to give out information, such as grades and GPA’s over
the phone. We can only give out public information, such as
graduation verification. However, if a student signed the FERPA
agreement and has a hold on their account no information can
be given out on the phone or in person. |
| 8. |
How
do I know that you are not giving my personal information
to just anyone?
|
| To
release any information to a group or company, we need your
hand written signature. Giving us your written permission allows
us to release your information. |
| 9. |
I
just found out that I need my transcripts ASAP, is there a
faster way to get my transcripts then the 5-10 business days?
|
| The
issuance of transcripts can take 5-10 business regardless. The
quickest way to get a transcript is to come into our office
and get a same day transcript for $10. You should put in your
request at least one week in advance. Note: you may not be able
to receive your transcripts if you have a financial hold on
your account. |

Where is your office located and what are your hours?
|
| We
are located in Yochum Hall on the main level. The office number
is 115. Yochum Hall is located between the Security house and
Huber-Speilman on Mound Street. During the school year we are
open 8:30 am to 5:00pm. Summer hours are 8:00am to 4:30pm. The
