During registration and add/drop periods, student registration can be updated viaPOUNCE. Priority registration occurs two business days before the first day of registration. You must beassigned to a priority groupby this time. During the first three days of registration, eligible time slots are assigned by a student's class level which is specified below. On these days registration opens at 8:00am and closes at 11:59pm each day of registration. After this three day period, registration remains open 24 hours until the payment deadline.
Registration for Summer and Fall semesters begin in March. Registration for Spring semesters begin in October. Late registration for all semesters closes on the final day of the add/drop period.
During the first week of registration, eligible time slots are assigned by a student's class level. If a student does not register on their respective day listed below, this does not mean the student is late for registration as registration remains open for students through the first day of class of the next semester. Students are eligible to register as follows:
MONDAY, MARCH

TUESDAY, MARCH

WEDNESDAY, MARCH

The "Prepare for Registration" menu shows the student's information, including any registration holds that may prevent the student from moving forward with registration. If the student's status on the screen is marked green, the student is all clear for registration. If any of the items are red, the student needs tocontact the appropriate officeto resolve their status prior to registration.
Additionally, in this menu, the student is also able to see any permit overrides for registration that they may have been granted. Permit overrides allow for students to bypass a pre-requisite or co-requisite needed for a course, likely due to an exam or placement testing score received. Beneath the permit overrides section (if a student has any) are the student's earned hours of credit, including transfer credits for transient students, and their class standing for registration purposes.
The "Planning Ahead" menu allows for students and advisors to create, edit, or delete a registration plan. Students and advisors can search for classes to add to a plan for registering in future terms. Students can complete registration from one of their pre-made plans in this menu instead of manually inputting courses to register.
When classes are added to a student's schedule, they will show up in a summary window in the bottom right corner of your screen. To officially register for the course, be sure to click "submit". The courses in the summary window need to say "registered" and not "pending" under the status column. You can register for classes by adding the CRNs directly or register from any saved plans created in the "Plan Ahead" menu.
Students can also view a week-at-a-glance in the bottom left corner of the screen as classes are added to the schedule. This will ensure there are no time conflicts with the student's schedule. You can hover over a course in this menu to view the class information.
