Before You Register for Classes

• 1) Are you eligible to register?

  New Students

  You must be admitted by Undergraduate Admissions or the Graduate School for the semester you are looking to register for. Admissions applications are specific to the semester, so you will be inactivated if you do not enroll in that semester.

  If you have been admitted for a summer semester and wish to register for fall classes, you must first register for the summer semester in order to be able to register for the fall semester.

  First-semester freshman students are required to complete Admitted Student Checklist. This checklist guides you through steps that must be completed prior to registration. Once your admission checklist is complete, your academic advisor will pre-register you for courses that are required for your major and other courses based on your responses to course registration-related forms in your admission portal. Read more about Core Course Registration.

  Continuing Students

  If it is not your first semester, you will be eligible to register as long as you have completed a semester within the past two years.

  If you have not completed a semester in the past two years, you must apply for readmission. Readmission applications are specific to the semester, so you will be inactivated if you do not complete your return semester.

• 2) Check your registration notices and holds

  Log in to CyberBear, then select Student Services.

  On the Student Services menu, choose the Student Profile option.

  Select the semester you wish to register for in the top left-hand corner of the screen.

  Registration Notices

  Click Registration Notices in the top right corner of the screen to view any outstanding requirements that must be resolved prior to registering for classes.

  Outstanding requirements are preceded by a yellow triangle. Examples of possible issues include academic suspension, needing to be readmitted, etc.

  At the bottom of "Registration Notices," you can view your time ticket, which lists the start and end dates of your registration period. 

  

  Holds

  Click Holds in the top right-hand corner of the screen next to Registration Notices to view any holds that are active on your account. To view which processes are affected by a hold, click the white arrow next to the hold.

  In the example below, the student has a hold because they have not yet completed their AlcoholEdu training. The process is affected is registration, which means the student cannot register for classes until the hold is lifted. If they have any questions, they can list the phone number provided next to their hold. 

  

  The Office of the Registrar cannot lift holds.

• 3) Find your registration time ticket

  The first two weeks of registration is called the priority registration period. Registration for autumn and spring classes opens in phases during the priority registration period.

  Students are encouraged to register during this time to have a better chance of registering for preferred classes.

• 4) Obtain your advising PIN

  The ÁÔÆæÖØ¿Ú has mandatory advising for undergraduate students. Each semester, you must meet with your advisor in order to plan your courses for the upcoming semester.

  Your advising PIN is a 6-digit passcode that you must enter in order to register for classes. Obtain your advising PIN by meeting with your advisor.
