Registration times by priority group are available on the Office of the Registrar website. Students should register for all courses for a semester prior to the add/drop deadline. The earlier you register, the more options you have to get the classes you need and the schedule you want.
New freshman and transfer: Will register during Quest orientation and should not have an active PIN number.
Continuing undergraduate students: In order to receive a PIN number, you will need to be advised. If you have a question about who your advisor is please contact the appropriate academic advising office.
Graduate students: Graduate students do not need a registration PIN.
If a student hasn't requested a specific faculty member as an advisor, then they are assigned to either the advising coordinator of their college or the department chair of their major. Undergraduates should contact their college advising centers for further information and graduate students should contact the Graduate College.
Undergraduate students in good academic standing typically register for 15-16 credit hours each semester, while graduate students typically register for 9-14 credit hours.
To participate in an independent study course, students must have their proposal approved by the appropriate department chair/school director and the curriculum committee chair (if applicable) and submit the approved proposal to the Office of the Registrar by the deadline for adding courses.
A graduate student wishing to register for a directed study or thesis must submit a written proposal for approval by the supervising professor, advisor, chair of the department, and graduate dean. This proposal should be submitted at least two weeks prior to registration. The Office of the Registrar must receive a copy of the approved proposal no later than the census date to ensure registration.
If a student wishes to audit a course they must have the written permission of the class instructor and the instructor鈥檚 chairperson. The deadline for auditing a course is the semester census date and approvals will only be granted on a space available basis. To find your deadline, review the academic calendar. Tuition and fees for auditing a course are the same as a regular credit course.
Holds can be viewed on the View Registration Holds tile in . If you have any unfulfilled obligations to the University (such as unpaid fees or fines, an overdue library book, missing transcripts, etc.) you may have a hold preventing registration. To clear the hold, you must contact the office that issued the hold. When you have resolved the hold, the originating office will release your hold, and you will be cleared for registration. To prevent delays in your ability to register and obtain needed courses, resolve your holds before your registration times.
Students who registered correctly can feel confident that their registration is secure. However, if a student doesn't complete the registration process correctly or neglects to pay their tuition on time, then their registration may be in jeopardy. Tuition, fees, room, and board must be paid by the advertised deadline for each semester or the student鈥檚 registration may be cancelled. In addition, if a student managed to register for a course for which they don鈥檛 meet the prerequisite for or is otherwise ineligible to participate in (i.e., academic deficiencies or suspension), their registration can be altered or cancelled.
Typically, when that happens the pin number is being typed in incorrectly.
The Office of the Registrar cannot register a student without proof the student has been advised.
See your advisor, department chair, or an advisor in the Highlander Success Center for assistance.
Register for the 18 hours you are permitted during the first part of registration. Overload requests will be accepted only after all students have had an opportunity to register for a full schedule of classes. Complete the Permission to Overload form and obtain all required. Approved forms need to then be submitted to the Office of the Registrar and will be processed beginning two weeks after the first day of undergraduate registration for a given term.
Graduate Students requesting to take over 14 credit hours need a Permission for Overload form signed by their Advisor and Department Chair/School Director then submitted to our office.
This is a risky strategy and class availability is likely to be extremely limited at that time which may result in a partial schedule or no schedule. Register when you are assigned to do so and let us help you resolve problems before web registration concludes each semester.
You must pay tuition, fees, room and board to the Office of the Bursar by the payment deadline.
If your payment is late, a late fee may be assessed, and classes may be cancelled. If your registration takes place after the payment deadline you must pay the day you register for classes to avoid a late fee and possible cancellation of classes.
Your classes may no longer be available to re-register after being dropped. If the class has a waitlist, your seat will be offered to the next student on the waitlist.
To avoid having your classes dropped, check your financial aid information and the balance on your student account on the Student Information System often and before the tuition payment deadline. If you discover any problems, resolve them as soon as possible.
If others (e.g., your parents) are making tuition and fee payments for you, remind them of all advertised deadlines.
91制片厂 has offered the same response to this question for many years. We have consistently told students and parents that, except for programs that by design are expected to take more than four years to complete, students can graduate in four years if they register for an average of 15 hours per semester; if they do not drop, withdraw from, or fail courses; or鈥攊f they do finish semesters with less than 15 hours鈥攖hey attend summer school to make up their deficits.
