Information About On-Line Registration
Students will register for courses
on-line using the student information system (SIS). The on-line
system, which offers the convenience of registration at students' PCs,
preserves important features of the advising process including advisor
review of class schedules, department or instructor control over permit
only courses, and dean's office review of credit overload requests.
The key elements of on-line registration are:
Registration in Real Time
On-line registration is real-time and students are confirming
their actual course enrollments.
Computing Issues
Registration is web-based so students will need access to a computer and
an internet connection to use SIS. Computer labs on campus
are available to students who want to register on-line but who do not otherwise
have access to a computer.
Registration Priority by Seniority for Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students without holds may register beginning on their assigned
appointment date AND ANYTIME THEREAFTER THROUGH THE END OF THE DROP/ADD PERIOD.
A student's appointment date is based on criteria such as anticipated graduation
date, cumulative credit hours earned, and matriculation term.
(See When Can I Register? for current priority
designations.)
New first year students starting in the fall will register on-line during
summer orientation.
Advising and Advising Holds
In order to register using SIS, a student's advising hold must be released
by his or her advisor. Advisees are encouraged to meet with advisors during
the "advising period" for schedule review and general advising. The releasing
of an advising hold is the advisor "signature" and represents the advisor's
approval of the student's course selection. Each student will have an advising
hold placed on his or her record twice a year (fall and spring). Department academic representatives
may have access to release advising holds for their department's majors and the
Office of Undergraduate Studies will have access to release advising holds for all
undergraduate students.
For instructions on releasing an advising hold, see:
Faculty: Releasing an Advising Hold
Administrators: Releasing an Advising Hold
Course Permissions, Overloads, and Course Withdrawals
Course permissions, credit overloads, course withdrawals after the end of
the drop/add period, and complete semester withdrawals will require the
student to see the appropriate person and to secure the necessary permissions.
Course permission, requisite overrides, and overloads may be issued electronically by the instructor
which will allow the student to register for the course in question via SIS.
In-Person Registration and Registration Forms
Students can register in person using a
paper registration form.
Students using the paper registration process will conform to the same priority
schedule as the on-line users.
