Registration Procedures

Registration for Spring Semester 2009 will begin on October 27, 2008. Graduate students may register through the deadline anytime after 8:00 a.m. on October 27, 2008. Undergraduate students will be assigned a registration appointment time according to the cumulative hours earned as of the beginning of the 2008 fall semester. A chart giving the appointment window per range of credit hours is listed. Students will need to check their student center on e-campus 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 107 hours completed at the beginning of the fall 2008 semester will have an appointment window from 11:45 p.m., Monday, October 27 to 11:45 p.m., Wednesday, October 29. 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 January 5. 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.

Course Adjustment (Grading Basis Changes, Drop/Add, Withdrawal)

Registered students may adjust their schedules according to the deadlines stated in Dates and Deadlines. No adjustments will be permitted after the Friday, March 20 course adjustment deadline for semester classes, Tuesday, February 10 for first block classes, or Tuesday, April 14 for second block classes.  At the discretion of the instructor, students who wish to withdraw from a course after the course adjustment deadline may receive a 'WP' or 'WF' grade according to the students' status at the time of withdrawal.

Registration Appointments

Undergraduate students will register according to assigned enrollment appointments during advanced registration in November. Each enrollment appointment is 48 hours long. Students can also access e-campus for registration during the weekends following their appointment window. Students will need to check e-campus to see their specific appointment start and end time. 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:
