Here are some suggestions to help make registration go smoothly.
- Schedule an appointment with your advisor in the middle of the semester, during slow times, to prepare for the upcoming semester. Your advisor will talk to you about prerequisites so that there are no surprises when it comes time for you to register.
- If you are a transfer student, send all transcripts if you have not already done so. Once the registrar's office receives the transcripts, it will take four to six weeks to be placed in our database. This means if you took the prerequisite for a course last semester, you may have to wait or take a copy of your transcript to the department for placement.
- Once the registration schedule comes out, plan out your schedule (times/days).
- Register on the day you are eligible to register. Courses fill up
fast. Your standing for registration is your expected class
standing,
so if you have 58 credits and you have signed up for 12 credits (60
credits is junior standing), then you would register as a junior since
you will have 70 credits after the current semester is completed.
- Update any address or phone number changes.
- Print everything. When you register for a course, drop a course, or pay for your courses, print to make sure the change has gone through. Keep a file.
- Once registered, fill out appropriate financial aid/VA forms if necessary.
