Registration Tips

  • When using Advanced Search within Student Planning, select the Term only without qualifying departments or numbers to bring up all courses being offered in the term.
  • If a course is listed in the academic catalog as having a separate laboratory portion – both the lecture section and laboratory section must be registered for concurrently.
  • Students must connect with their academic advisor to have “Advisement Complete” marked within Student Planning before they are permitted to register at their open period.
  • All business and financial holds must be completed before a student may register.
