Get Ready to Register
Hey Falcons, it's time to make your course selections for the next academic term! If you're new to the process, review the steps on this page. Once you've familiarized yourself with the process, click the button to begin registration.
Step 1: Schedule a Meeting with Your Adviser
- To register for classes, you must meet with your academic adviser first.
- You'll discuss your proposed schedule with your adviser and receiver your Personal Identification Number (PIN) to enter into eSIS.
- You PIN allows you to register for classes. PINs change every semester so using an old PIN won't work!
- If you don't know your adviser's name or contact info, you can find it in eSIS or in Navigate360.
- Most advisers will reach out to their advisees via email or through Navigate360. If you haven't received any communication about registration, reach out to your adviser!
Step 2: Meet With Your Adviser
Unless otherwise specified by your adviser, you should bring the following to your advising appointment:
- A physical or digital copy of your Degree Audit Report (DAR).
- A physical or digital copy of your tentative class schedule.
- Use the Course Scheduling Tool to help build potential schedules to import to eSIS.
Step 3: Register for Classes
- After meeting with your adviser, make sure to enter your registration PIN on eSIS. Learn more about PINs.
- If you lose or misplace your registration PIN, contact your adviser.
- Make sure that you know when your enrollment date is and log into eSIS to register for classes as early as possible on that date. The longer you wait, the more likely classes are full/closed!
- If you're having trouble registering for your core course requirements, please reach out to your adviser.
Useful Information
- Log into your eSIS account.
- Locate the "Enrollment Dates" box along the right side of your home page.
- It will say "Enrollment Appointment" in the box - click "Details" in the bottom right of the box.
- A new page will open that shows your enrollment date and time.
- For best available class selections, enroll for your classes as soon possible on your enrollment date and time.
