Student Services

Student Services is here to help you succeed and make the most of your Rosemont experience. We offer a full range of services and resources to support you from your first registration through graduation.

Any question that your Program Director or Faculty member can’t answer, we can.

If you are enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program, here is your Handbook.

Use control + F to search the handbook by keywords, such as “payment plan,” “drop and add,” “Commencement,” or any question you have.

If you still have questions, “How do I….?” or “where do I?” or “who do I talk to?”  send us an email or pick up the phone.  We know the answer to every question.

A course drop must be done within the first week of classes.You may drop a course by logging in the iWay and clicking on the Student Services tab, then "Registration". If you have difficulty, contact Student Services.

What is the difference between a drop and a withdrawal?
A drop completely removes the course from your transcript, and no bill is generated. A drop must be completed in the first week of classes. After the first week, the option is to withdraw from the class. A "W" will appear on your transcript, and there will be full financial responsibility. Withdrawal forms are found on the iWay on the Student Services tab, under "Handouts". Forms must be faxed to Student Services before the end of the session.

How do I register for my first class?
Your first registration will be processed manually by Student Services. The eConnections advisor will advise Accelerated Undergrad Business students on which College Writing course to register for. All students will then email Student Services with their course selections.

Who is my advisor?

This is an online orientation course that introduces the resources and skills you will need for optimum success at Rosemont. The course is delivered using a learning management software called Epsilen. The entire eConnections course must be completed within the first five weeks of your enrollment. Most students take just a week to complete the course if they work on it each day.

How do I access and begin my Rosemont eConnections course?
