Registration Procedures

Registration for Fall Semester 2009 will begin on April 7, 2009. Graduate students may register through the deadline anytime after 8:00 a.m. on April 7, 2009. Undergraduate students will be assigned a registration appointment time according to the cumulative hours earned as of the beginning of the 2009 spring semester. A chart giving the appointment window per range of credit hours is listed. Students will need to check the web to find their appointment window. Appointments are assigned by credit hours earned in 15 minute increments. Students may register any time during their assigned registration window but not before or after. For example, a student with 108 hours completed at the beginning of the spring 2009 semester will have an appointment window from 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, April 7 to 10:00 a.m. Thursday, April 9. The student may use the web to adjust their spring schedule any time they have access to the system until the drop/add and course adjustment deadlines for that session. Non-degree Seeking "Special Students" can register beginning August 17. Students will also have access weekends following their appointment time.

Initial Registration Preparation

Work out your schedule. Discuss your schedule with your adviser and clear all debts or other obligations that may hold your registration. Obtain needed permission to enroll before attempting to register (see Override, Audit and Overload Approval and Academic Advising information in the Registration and Student Records Handbook).

Course Adjustment (Grading Basis Changes, Repeats, Withdrawals)

Registered students may adjust their schedules according to the deadlines stated in Dates and Deadlines. No adjustments will be permitted after the Thursday, October 22 deadline for semester classes, Tuesday, September 22 for first block classes, or Thursday, November 12 for second block classes.

Registration Appointments

Undergraduate students will register according to assigned enrollment appointments during advanced registration in April. Each enrollment appointment is 48 hours long.

The window will allow the student to register and make as many course adjustments as they wish.

Students must check e-campus to see their specific appointment start time, but generally the appointment start times will fall within the following dates:
