Spring 2025 Registration

A 5th course may only be added during Add/Drop.

Seniors:

• Contact the instructor for approval to take the course. Once the Instructor Approval has been entered in Banner, log into Banner and register for the course.
  • NOTE: you can see approvals that have been entered for you on the ‘Prepare for Registration’ app in Banner 9.

 Sophomores and Juniors:

• Requests to take a 5th course are managed by your Class Dean.
• Once you receive email confirmation from your dean that your 5th class has been approved, the Office of the Registrar will add it to your schedule.

 First Year Students: Students in their first or second semester may not take more than 4 courses.

If you are already registered for the course:

• Ask the faculty member to enter an approval in Banner for the new lab, discussion, or drill. 

• Once the approval is entered, log in to Banner 9

• On the Enter CRNs tab, enter the CRN for the new section and click Add to Summary. 

• In your Summary panel, locate the lab, discussion, or drill you want to drop and click drop in the Action box,

• Click submit.

Auditors do not earn credit for the course. If you are interested in auditing, ask the instructor of the course you wish to audit to send an email approval to our office and we will register you as an auditor in the course once the Add/Drop period has opened. Please include student name, student ID number, course subject and number, and CRN.

Students cannot add two courses to their schedule that begin or end at the same time during web registration. Once Add/Drop begins, students are required to obtain permission from both faculty members whose courses over-lap before registering. If approved, the faculty of the course to be added can enter a “Waive Time Conflict” override for the student in Banner.

Once the student obtains all approvals and the time conflict waiver, they can register for the course in their Banner.

1. From the Banner 9 home page, select the “Browse Classes” link.
2. Choose the appropriate term from the dropdown menu.
3. Click “Continue”
4. Click “Advanced Search”
5. At the very bottom check “Open Sections Only”, then click “Search”.

7. View the status column.  Red text indicates course is full.  If seats are available, the number of open seats are provided in the “Status” column.

First year students list course preferences via the online platform and upon the close of the course selection process, they will be registered in courses from their preference list.  Student will be notified via email when their schedule is available.
