Registering for Classes
Participants in the Exchange Program must register for classes usually before arriving in the United States. Class registrations are done online through a student's ecampus account, which is the student's web access to records, financial aid accounts, class schedule, etc. An ecampus account is set up as soon as an international student has been accepted to the Exchange Program at Santa Clara University.
REGISTRATION OPTION #1
Santa Clara students normally register themselves for classes using the online system called “E-Campus” at SCU. You can access this system at http://www.scu.edu/ecampus. Each student needs an ID and a password in order to log into the system. Both are automatically generated when you are admitted as an exchange student into the SCU system. You should receive an email after you are admitted into the SCU system to the email address that you listed on your application materials for SCU. For this reason, please make sure that you list an email address that you can check and keep while you are abroad. Also make sure to write CLEARLY or type this information.
If you do not receive an email from SCU about how to activate your e-campus account (it will come from ecampus@scu.edu), please let us know.
Students having difficulty logging into e-campus can send a message to ecampus@scu.edu. Please be sure to provide your name, SCU student ID number, and email address.
Tips for students using ecampus can be found here: https://www.scu.edu/ecampus/students/index.cfm, including registration and log-in advice.
REGISTRATION OPTION #2
If you are having trouble registering yourself via e-campus, or prefer to have someone register you for your classes instead, you can email a list of the classes you are interested in taking to Barbara Colyar (bcolyar@scu.edu) in the International Programs Office by the following dates:
Coming to Santa Clara Fall Quarter (September) May 1st
Coming to Santa Clara Winter Quarter (January) November 1st
Coming to Santa Clara Spring Quarter (April) February 1st
You will need to email the following information:
1) Your full name and SCU ID number if you know it.
2) The top three classes you want to take (please make sure to include the 5-digit SECTION NUMBER which tells the system which class you want to add)
3) One or two alternate classes, in case you are unable to get into your first choices.
Once you get to campus, please make sure to come by the International Programs Office so that we can make sure that each one of you has the information you need about your classes.
If for any reason you are unable to attend the classes you have registered for on the first day of class, please let Barbara Colyar in the International Programs know. Professors have the right to drop students who don’t attend the first class—and you may discover that you are no longer enrolled if you don’t show up.
Classes are subject to close when they are filled up so it is important for you to review the online registration process on the Office of the Registrar website and make every effort to register for your classes online.
