Students can also register by completing a Course Add/Drop Form (available in the Office of Student Services or the Academic Advising Resource Center) and submitting it in one of the following ways:

After a student has submitted a Course Add/Drop Form, the completion of required course prerequisites will be verified. Completed registration requests will appear in WebAdvisor on the student's my.Franklin account. Late registration or course additions after published registration deadlines are only accepted with Lead Faculty and Academic Advisor permission. Students with prior financial balances or financial aid "holds" must contact the Business Office prior to registering.
After initial registration by an Admissions Advisor, students can add or drop courses by accessing their personalized Web page at https://my.franklin.edu. Students utilizing this method of registration must adhere to current University regulations regarding adding courses. Students with questions or need assistance with registering for their courses can email their Academic Advisor at email@example.com for assistance.
Students must register for class at least one week prior to the session start date. After a student has registered, a confirmation copy of the schedule and fee statement will be forwarded to their Franklin University issued email address.
Late registrations or additions of courses after published deadlines are not accepted without the Program Chair, Lead Faculty, Instructor or Academic Advisor's permission. Students with prior financial balances or financial aid "holds" may not be able to register for classes and must contact the Business Office directly.
Students may request to be registered for a specific section and instructor but these course items are subject to change.
Franklin is committed to offering military students the flexible, convenient course formats needed to balance education with the demands of military life.
The registration period begins two months prior to the course start date and closes ten days prior to the course start date. Visit the GoArmyEd Portal for a list of the current term's registration deadlines.
We also understand that military obligations might make it difficult to complete a course. Courses may be dropped via the GoArmyEd Portal.
All registration activity must be initiated through the GoArmyEd portal.
No credit is given for audited courses. Each auditor must do all the work required of a student enrolled in the course for credit, except take examinations. Fees and tuition for auditing are the same as those charged when courses are taken for credit. Audit status must be indicated in writing to the Office of Student Services no later than the end of the first week of the session in which the class is to be audited.
Franklin University participates in a cross-registration system with the other colleges and universities in the Higher Education Council of Columbus (HECC). These institutions are Capital University, The Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus State Community College, DeVry University (Columbus, Ohio location only), Ohio Dominican University, The Ohio State University, Otterbein University, and the Pontifical College Josephinum.
Cross-registration allows full-time students at Franklin University to register for enrichment classes at other HECC institutions. Students will register, pay tuition and receive grades at Franklin University. To participate, undergraduate students must have earned at least 24 credit hours at Franklin University and must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00. Course selection is limited to one per trimester and may not be more than a total of three per lifetime. Also, students may not cross-register for a course that is available at Franklin University. Cross-registration is not permitted during Summer Trimester.
Students must meet with the Registrar to make arrangements to cross-register.
Upon receipt of a Certification Letter request form, the Registrar's Office will notify a student's employer, by letter, that the student has enrolled for a trimester or has completed a trimester's work.
Students wishing to withdraw from a course must either utilize their personalized Web page, my.franklin.edu, or submit an Add/Drop Form. After the first week of class, a withdrawal will result in a grade of "W" (Withdrawn) on the student's academic record but will not be calculated in the grade point average. Tuition charges and/or refunds will be based on the date the student submits an Add/Drop Form to the University. The deadline for a student to withdraw from a class is the Sunday prior to the last scheduled week of class.
A student who either never attends or participates, or stops attending or participating in a class but fails to submit an Add/Drop Form to withdraw is obligated for full tuition and will receive a grade (possibly a failing grade of "Z") from the instructor based on all work assigned and/or completed.
Based on evidence of excessive absence, non-participation, or missed exams as defined in the course syllabus, a faculty member may initiate a student's withdrawal through the Registrar's Office. The Financial Aid Office also may request the Registrar to withdraw a student for non-attendance or non-participation. In either case, the tuition and payment policy will be applied.
Financial Aid Consequences
Students receiving any type of financial aid may lose part or all of such assistance if they stop attending or stop participating, or withdraw from one or more courses in any one trimester. Any over-award that results from withdrawing, nonattendance, or non-participation must be repaid before further financial assistance may be received. In considering whether or not to withdraw from, stop attending, or stop participating in a course, students receiving financial aid should first consult with the Financial Aid office.
Students voluntarily withdrawing from Franklin University (withdrawal from all of their active courses) must initiate the withdrawal process by completing the online "Withdrawal from All Active Courses" form. Upon completion of this form, students will be contacted by a University representative to confirm their intention to withdraw, verify their understanding of any potential academic and/or financial consequences, and affirm that the University has done everything it can to assist them in continuing their studies. Students who cannot be reached will be administratively withdrawn. The date used to process the withdrawal will be the date that the online form is submitted. Withdrawal requests must be initiated by completing the online form; no paper withdrawal forms, voicemail messages or email requests will be accepted.
Students withdrawing from one or some of their active courses, rather than all courses, can do so by accessing their MyTools account or by submitting an Add/Drop form. However, before dropping courses, students receiving financial aid should consult with the Financial Aid Office. Students receiving any type of financial aid may lose part or all of their financial assistance if they stop attending, withdraw from a course, or withdraw from all active courses in any one trimester. Non-attendance in class is not to be assumed as constituting formal withdrawal from the University. Grade designation is determined by the policies in effect at the time of the student's withdrawal. Students voluntarily withdrawing from the institution amidst a pending conduct resolution for violent acts will have that noted on their transcript.
When students withdraw from one or more courses, they may be entitled to a tuition refund. Franklin University provides detailed tuition refund tables for changes to students' schedules.

Some of you have asked what happened to the Indigo challenge. The thing is, I go through phases in cooking. I was in the exotic main dishes phase when Indigo challenge started, but for the last couple of months, I only seem to be thinking of making desserts.
I am possibly watching too many reality cooking shows, but as all the funky creations by contestants of Top Chef : Just Desserts went past, it had me thinking only one thought. There's so much I don't know. See, I only started baking a couple of years back so there never was much time. And I haven't tried some things, like creme anglaise, because I dislike desserts with an eggy smell. Others, like souffle, because I am plain scared. All of which is about to change with the PASTRY WARS.
It's the quest for the perfect version of every basic recipe that needs to be in a pastry chef's arsenal. And it's simple - we just keep at something until we find our perfect version. If I try the classic version and it tastes eggy, I'd look for a variation without eggs.
The first basic recipe coming your way is the cream patisserie or the pastry cream. Thick, rich, creamy - it's filled in tarts, piped into eclairs and zillions of other french desserts. There is, in short, no better place to start.
I've tried making pastry cream once when the daring bakers made tiramisu and I liked the recipe (it surprisingly didn't taste eggy). This one's also less scary than the classic recipes I read. There is no tempering of yolks with warm milk, so less chances of you ending up with scrambled eggs.
But the daring bakers version got a little too thick as it cooled so I figured a variation.
You grab:
1/4 cup sugar
a tbsp of cornstarch
a tsp of lime zest
another tsp of vanilla extract
an egg yolk
1/2 cup milk
Whisk it all together until smooth. Cook on very low heat, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from curdling. Add another 1/3 cup milk a little at a time, still stirring constantly. After 6-7 minutes the mixture will be thick, free of lumps and beginning to bubble.
Turn off the gas. Check to see any signs of scrambled yolks or lumps. Pass through a fine mesh sieve if there are any.
Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Press some cling film directly on to the surface and let chill in the fridge overnight. Don't taste while warm as it might taste eggy. The cold cream will be perfect.
This pastry cream will last 4-5 days in the fridge so next challenge : shortcrust pastry. Let the wars begin!

'Seven Days in Utopia': Non-Preachy Film Looks to Inspire
Who ever said golf wasn't spiritual?
Using the much-beloved ball game as a metaphor for life, family, work, and faith, the new film "Seven Days in Utopia," based on David L. Cook's novel Golf's Sacred Journey, gives audiences a whole new look at golf, on and off the course.
The movie, which stars critically acclaimed actor Robert Duvall, follows the story of a young golfer named Luke Chisolm (Lucas Black) set on making the pro tour.
When his first big shot turns out to be a very public disaster, Luke, hoping to escape the pressure and limelight, drives off from the tournament only to find himself stranded in a small town in Texas.
It's there in Utopia – population of less than 400 – where he meets an eccentric rancher and former PGA Professional by the name of Johnny Crawford (Duvall) who teaches him not only about a better swing, but a better way of life.
The inspiring film, like the novel, hopes to offer everyone, not just golfers, insight and a different perspective that changes the way we think, play, and act.
Cook, a top sports psychologist for several U.S. Olympians, NBA stars, and more than 100 PGA players, based the novel and the movie script on thousands of athletes he had counseled over the years and the great mentors and teachers from whom he had learned from.
"I have brought my twenty plus years of peak performance coaching together and compressed them into a story of two fictitious characters; a rancher with a passion for teaching truth and a young professional at the end of his rope," Cook penned.
"They represent each of us in the various stages of growth. For in life we must be willing to coach and be coached, either one alone will leave us empty."
The film, adapted from the novel, is directed by Matthew Dean Russell and produced by Mark Mathis, Jason Berman, and Rob Levine.
Dean has said of the film, "I want to tell stories that change the way people think ... that allow people to feel and know God is real through the actions and examples unfolding on the screen."
Though the film is about golf, Cook told CBN News that it's more about finding true success through Jesus Christ.
"It's about an invasion of God that changes a man or a woman's life. That's what it's really about. And at the end of the movie, it shows what life looks like in the performance setting when you have the real answer. You play with peace. You play with confidence. You play in a different way and in fact, you play better."
Black, who stars as the main character in the movie, told the Orlando Sentinel, "A lot of us get caught up in what we're trying to achieve – on the golf course and in life. We get so narrow in our focus, so shallow, that we miss the big picture. That's what the book said to me and I hope what the movie says."
Helping men all over the world see the bigger picture, the novel-turned-film has become a vital outreach program for Christian leaders.
Cook, who has his own ministry and retreat center in Utopia, Texas, called Links of Utopia, continues to help transform the lives of men and their families by calling out, encouraging and equipping men through several resources including retreats and events and online fellowship communities.
Inspired by the novel, men's groups and Bible studies have also formed, with a guide and study book specifically created to cater toward these groups. Leading men from the Golf Book to The Holy Book, the guides help teach men how to apply important biblical principles to their everyday lives.
Most recently, a ministry site was launched in August on the same day that pastors nationwide attended free screenings of the coming-of-age movie, in support of the inspiring film.
Pastors and ministry leaders could download free ministry clips, banners, and sermon guides for their congregations.
Filmmakers hoped that the combination of early screenings and free ministry resources, written by Dr. Craig Detweiler, Ph.D., from Pepperdine University, would motivate pastors to rally behind the G-rated film filled with themes of self-reflection, the importance of faith, forgiveness, and recovery.
Pastor Fred Christian, of The Last Church in Seattle, Wash., shared, "I really enjoyed this film. It has great acting and a thought provoking message about faith and priorities. A rare G-rated film that Christian adults can enjoy without having to leave their values at the altar."
Vice President of Good News and clergy member of the Wisconsin Annual Conference Tom Lambrecht also praised the movie, appreciating the non-preachy "subtle symbolism," which pointed audiences to how to leave a damaged past behind and find a new resurrection to life in Jesus Christ.
"Seven Days in Utopia" releases September 2, and also stars cameo appearances from PGA Tour players KJ Choi, Rich Beem, Stewart Cink, and Rickie Fowler. The film also stars Academy Award-winner Melissa Leo and Deborah Ann Woll.

Student Success Story
Intern seeks true change
Jillian Rubino found her niche in the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund
Jillian Rubino '09 has her sights set on changing the world.
This School of Public Affairs student found her niche in the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund. Jillian believes that change can only come from electing LGBTA candidates at all levels of government.
"Changing the face of legislative leadership has a greater impact on issues," she says.
As an intern for the development team, Jillian assisted in coordinating fundraising events and award ceremonies for candidates. Although it was at times frustrating to dive into the seemingly endless administrative tasks, Jillian did it with panache.
"No matter what, I do it with enthusiasm," she says.
This desire was apparent to her colleagues who often commented how they wished she worked full time.
After graduation in May 2009, Jillian began working at the Victory Fund as the organization's full-time marketing fellow.

While he was exhausted from his race, Borgia junior Michael Matthews still found enough energy for an enormous smile Saturday afternoon at the St. Peters Rec-Plex.
Matthews was presented with Borgia's first-ever state swimming medal for placing eighth in the MSHSAA 100-yard butterfly finals.
"It feels good," Matthews said soon after receiving his state medal. "It's a lot of fun."
Matthews said the state experience was more than he ever envisioned.
"It's more than what I thought would happen," Matthews said. "We have an awesome coach, Jen (Jennifer Alferman-Molitor), and she really pushed us. She pushed me a lot to get here."
Alferman-Molitor was proud of Michael's performance.
"The finals race was really tough, but he held his own," Alferman-Molitor said. "He accomplished his goal of ending in the top eight this season."
Matthews recorded a time of 53.94 to finish eighth in the championship race. MSHSAA runs boys swimming as a one-classification sport, meaning that all schools, from the biggest to smallest, swim in one competition.
In the final race, Matthews had been as high as fifth, according to unofficial in-race statistics.
For the second consecutive day, Glendale senior Will Brand had the fastest time and won the state title. His time Saturday was 50.77, or .29 of a second faster than his preliminary time.
Luke Sloan, a senior at Saint Louis University High, was second at 51.00.
Third place went to Parkway West senior Tommy Christiansen with a time of 51.72.
Parkway Central senior Riley Brown was fourth in 52.32 while Rockhurst sophomore AJ Iseman took fifth at 52.6.
Cole Roberts, a senior at Liberty North, was sixth in 53.06, Park Hill South swimmer Travis Colpitts took seventh in 53.86 and Matthews was eighth in 53.94.
For his finish, Matthews received a state medal and scored 11 team points for the first-year Borgia program. Michael was Borgia's only state-qualified swimmer this year.
"Many of the coaches at state were very surprised that Borgia was a new team and that we were at state," Alferman-Molitor said. "Many coaches congratulated us on earning a place at state in our first year. They were all really impressed."
With those 11 points, Borgia tied for 34th in the meet along with Kirkwood and Blue Springs.
Rockhurst won the championship with 220 points while Blue Springs South was second at 163 and Lee's Summit North took third at 161.
Rounding out the top five were Parkway Center at 143.5 and John Burroughs at 133.
Matthews entered the state meet as the 20th-fastest swimmer, but sawed 1.85 seconds off of his qualifying time of 55.21 to record a 53.36 during his preliminary race.
"Michael did great at state," Alferman-Molitor said. "I knew that he was going to surprise everyone in the prelims. He is a very competitive swimmer and he never really saw much competition in the 100 fly this season. He did manage to drop time during the season but it was just a few milliseconds. I knew that once he got in a pool with some tough competition he would really drop time and he did. It was his best time ever."
That allowed Matthews to jump from his seventh seed in the heat to second in the final finish and from 20th overall to seventh and a place in the state championship race.
The top eight swimmers qualified for the championship heat while swimmers placed ninth through 16th swam in a consolation race Saturday. All 16 swimmers Saturday earned points for their respective teams.
Alferman-Molitor indicated Matthews worked extremely hard in recent weeks to prepare for the state meet.
"For the last few weeks we really worked on his technique and his strategy," Alferman-Molitor said. "In the end that paid off. He swam flawlessly and incorporated everything we worked on. He made me proud to be his coach."
Alferman-Molitor also coached Matthews with the Washington Swim Team in recent years, and that made for a smooth transition into high school swimming for Matthews.
"I knew what she was about and she knew what I was all about," Matthews said.
Matthews said he was thrilled when he heard Borgia was adding swimming this season.
"I was pumped," Michael said. "Going through two years of high school without a swim team, I never thought we would have one."
Matthews had two older brothers, Cameron and Tommy, who competed for the Washington Swim Team, but graduated before Borgia started its high school program.
"My brothers are probably pretty jealous that we have a team now," Michael said. "They were pretty good swimmers, too. I've learned a lot from them."
While he's new to the prep swimming scene, Matthews has been a competitive swimmer most of his life.
"I started when I was 5 or 6 and have been swimming ever since," Matthews said.

Checking in from Montana...
Hi, I'm new here and joined a couple of groups. I hail (originally) from California (a good place to be from - was there more than 40 years total), and now reside in the Last Best Place, Montana. Been here 5 years, going on 6 and love it. Yes, it gets cold - but you dress for it, and prepare for it. I was married for 15 years, one son (now 32), and now with my current partner going on 17 years. It's been a rough one for the last 11 years, but I do love him, and I know he's sick (both physically and psychologically). The saying, "When the going gets tough...?" My answer is "I stand my ground." It ain't easy.
Living in a rural area, it's hard to make friends, and since this is a college town, even harder to find my peer group.
Welcome to the group. I am glad you decided to join. I'm Angela. I look forward to getting to know you. Give me a shout if you need anything. Hugz!
G'day and welcome to 40ish! I'm Aramanth from Australia - call me Manth, most people do. I'm lucky enough to have been married to my best friend for the past 21 years and we have two wonderful daughters. Athena is 19 and a 3rd year Engineering student while Ishtar is 18 and a 1st year Science student. Not, this doesn't mean we're empty-nesters - like most kids in Australia they are living at home and commute to campus each day.
Feel free to jump right into any conversation that takes your fancy. We don't bite! Well, not unless you ask us to...
Welcome to 40ish. We look forward to having you around the best group on CM. I'm Cheryl
hello and welcome to 40ish!!! nice to meet you.im suzi..jump right on in and enjoy..
Welcome and I am so glad you found us!!
Come on in and join the conversation.. Looking forward to getting to know you.
