-
- Registration
- The process of enrolling in college or university classes. Registration
is usually at the beginning of each academic term and may include placement
tests and payment of tuition and fees.
- Renewable Scholarships
- A scholarship that is awarded for more than one year. Usually the
student is required to maintain certain academic standards to be eligible
for subsequent years of the award. Some renewable scholarships are
automatically renewed, which means there is no need to re-submit paperwork.

- Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC)
- Each branch of the military sponsors an ROTC program. In exchange for a certain number of years on active duty, students can have their college education paid for up to a certain amount by the armed forces.
- Residency Requirement
- The term has more than one meaning. It can refer to the fact that a college may require a specific number of course to be taken on campus to receive a degree from the school, or the phrase can mean the time, by law, that is required for a person to reside in the state to be considered eligible for in-state tuition at one of its public colleges or universities.
- Retention Rate
- The number and percentage of students returning for the sophomore year.
- Rolling Admissions
- There is no deadline for filing a college application. This concept is used most often by state universities. Responses are received within three to four weeks. If admitted, a student is not required to confirm, in most cases, until May 1. Out-of-state residents applying to state universities should apply as early as possible.
