Spring 2025 Validation

Validation for Returning Students

Any returning student who registered for Spring 2025 classes (not study away or ACTC) must validate their registration.

How to:

1. Log onto 1600grand, click on the Student tab, go to the Registration header and click on Enter Profile. There you will see any validation holds you have by clicking on Holds in the top-right; a hold may be from Student Accounts, Health Services, the Registrar’s Office or other campus offices. Contact that office in order to resolve your hold. A more detailed description of the different hold types is available here.
2. The Registrar’s Office will send an email to inform all students that holds have been added. If you do not have holds listed on 1600grand at that time, you have been validated—no need to check in with the Registrar’s Office.
3. If you do have holds, you must make satisfactory arrangements to clear the hold. Once the Registrar’s Office is notified that you’ve cleared all holds, you will be validated. Validation should be completed on or before the first day of class, Thursday, January 23. The last possible day to validate is Friday, January 31.  This is also the Add/Drop deadline. If you don’t validate by the January 31 deadline, you will be dropped from all of your courses and lose your status as a student.
4. When Add/Drop opens on the first day of class, feel free to change your schedule as needed on 1600grand. All course Adds require the ADDOKAY override from the instructor. You may drop a course without authorization.
5. If you decide not to return for the semester, you must notify the Dean of Students to arrange for a temporary or permanent withdrawal from the College.
6. INTERNSHIPS for credit:  If you are planning or even contemplating the possibility of doing an internship for credit this semester, you should check in with the Internship Office immediately.  They have a form that signals your intent to do an internship that is required before the Add/Drop deadline of January 31.
