"Late Registration Penalty" is a charge incurred by students who make adjustments to their registration after the normal registration period has ended. The penalty charges increase incrementally up to the end of the semester as a deterrent to late registration. Late adjustment to registration with penalty via SAS facilitates both late additions and late dropping of courses for the $1000 and $2000 penalty periods only. For the $4000 and $8000 penalty periods only late addition of courses can be made as the deadline to drop courses would have passed. Once students accept the charge of the late adjustment to registration penalty on SAS, immediate access is given to facilitate adjustments to registration and ends at 11:59pm the same day. 

Eligibility to be considered for a waiver of the Late Registration Penalty:

• New students who were not clear on how to complete their registration successfully. 
• New students who received late offers to The UWI and would not have benefitted from the normal registration period to complete their registration. 
• Students who attempted but did not successfully complete override requests during the normal or late penalty registration periods.
• Students who paid the late registration penalty but had system issues or could not access SAS to select their courses before the end of the access period (that is, 11:59pm on the day access was given). 
• Students who need to adjust their registration due to stream cancellation.

You may call or come in to our office to advise. Otherwise, you may send an email to deputyprincipal@uwimona.edu.jm or message us directly here. Ensure to include the following information.

• Your name 
• Your ID number
• Contact information (telephone number and email address)

NOTE: Students who accept the charges of the Late Registration Penalty and did not utilize the access will not be given a waiver of access to register in a subsequent late registration period. For example, a waiver will not be granted if you accepted the charges for the Late Registration Penalty in the $1000 penalty period and then requested a waiver of the Late Registration Penalty within the $2000 penalty period. There would have been an increase in penalty for the subsequent late registration period therefore a waiver would not be applicable.
