All HE students will have a registration advising bar. To clear your bar, you can either submit an Advising Worksheet online before April 15th or make an appointment to see your advisor any time before you register.

Back-ups, back-ups, back-ups. Make sure you plan for back-up courses in your schedule and USE THE WAIT LISTS!

Know the lingo:

Advising Bars – All HE students will have an advising bar. This will be cleared once you complete an advising worksheet and/or schedule an appointment with your assigned academic advisor.
SANs – Secure Academic Notes. These SANs are sent to the official email address that you have on file. If you are not receiving these emails, you are responsible for making sure that you update email your address online. You should check your spam folder as well.

During Registration

Check back for any important updates about registration from the HE Advising Center.

Select alternate classes, if the classes you want are full!
- Use the wait lists! This is very important.
- If necessary, SET YOUR SWAP CLASS! Make sure you don’t have any time conflicts in your schedule with the class you’re waiting listing for, otherwise the system will just skip you and you will not be added to the course.

“Add to Waitlist” is the second bullet on your registration page.

Don’t panic! Your schedule will probably not be perfect during your first registration time, but do your best. Things tend to settle in your schedule around add-drops. As long as you have the number of hours you need and classes on your schedule, you’re going in the right direction.

After You Register

Create an updated Interactive Degree Audit that includes your "Future Registered Courses" to make sure you registered for things you need towards your degree.

30 minute appointments begin after the last day of registration.
- These long appointments are designed for long-range planning, graduation discussions, and petitions.

PAY TUITION! Don’t forget to pay tuition or confirm that you are paying with Financial Aid. Otherwise, you’ll be dropped from all your classes. Check the Academic Calendar for deadlines.

Make an appointment with your advisor to go over your 4-year degree plan. It will make future registrations go smoothly and will keep you on track to graduate.

Check your Registration Information Sheet for add-drop times in January.
