Registration Guide

Prepare – Before Enrollment Opens

  1. Know your enrollment appointment or "pick time"
    • Every student is assigned an enrollment appointment or pick-time. This is how you know when you will be able to register for classes. Students can view theirs by logging into in StudentAdmin > Manage Classes > Enrollment Appointment
  2. Check for holds on your account
    • You want to make sure there are no holds on your account as they will prevent you from registering for classes. To check, login to StudentAdmin > Action List > Holds. Here you will also see the steps you need to take to remove any holds. See below for more info on holds.
  3. Understand your requirements   

Register – After Enrollment Opens

  1. Visualize possible schedules  
  2. Meeting with an advisor is NOT required.
    • Students seeking help planning their courses may attend drop-in hours or make an appointment with an advisor. If an immediate appointment is not available, students should proceed with registration and adjust their schedule later, if needed.
  3. Fill your cart with the appropriate classes and complete registration

More about Holds

The Econ Department does not place advising holds. Therefore, if a student has a hold it was placed by another major. This can happen when a student is a double major or a dual degree, or sometimes from a previous major.  Our office can assist students whose hold was placed by a previous major so long as the student is no longer declared in that major. 

Unfortunately, we are unable to remove a hold for any other office and you must follow the directions provided for the hold.  For questions, contact the office that placed the hold.
