During registration and add/drop periods, student registration can be updated via POUNCE. Priority registration occurs two business days before the first day of registration. You must be assigned to a priority group by 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, January 3rd, at 5pm.
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:
In the new Banner 9 upgrade, there are three menus students need to know of concerning registration: Prepare for Registration, Planning Ahead, and Register for Classes.
Learn how to access the "Prepare for Registration" menu and what information is available to students.
Learn how to access the "Plan Ahead for Registration" menu and what actions can be taken in this menu.
Beginning July 5, students advised by the Academic Advisement Center will require a pin to register or make adjustments to their schedule. Academic Advising will host workshops during the fall 2023 semester that focus on how to plan your next semester's classes using the "Plan Ahead" menu in the new Banner 9 registration platform. Contact your advisor in the Academic Advisement Center if you have any questions about the new registration process.

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.

As Academic Admissions does not evaluate or provide credit for courses completed at home institutions for students with a transient status, those students must request permission from the department that owns the course to gain entry.

The add/drop time is when a student can drop and add courses without penalty during the designated drop/add period for each semester or term within a semester. See the Academic Calendar for specific dates. A course that is dropped during this period will not generate an official record of enrollment in the class.
Withdrawal period is after the add/drop period has ended for the semester. Students submitting a course Withdrawal for courses will be graded with a W and no refund will be generate unless withdrawing from all courses. Withdrawing after the "Last Day to Receive a W" will result in a grade of WF. See the Academic Calendar for specific dates..
