STEP 1: CLEAR HOLDS: All academic,
financial and administrative holds that prevent registration must
be cleared with the respective office(s) before you will be allowed
to register. Holds may be viewed on the View
Holds screen
from the PAWS Student Records Menu.
STEP 2: ADVISING: You must be advised prior to registration. Your adviser will indicate approval of your
semester course plan by signing the registration form. Registration
via PAWS is permissible at your registration time and afterward,
if your faculty adviser has verified on PAWS that advising has
occurred. You are permitted to register only for courses that were
approved in writing by your faculty adviser.
STEP 3: REGISTRATION: At your scheduled
registration time and any time thereafter through the first week
of classes, you may register through PAWS or bring your signed
registration form to the Registration Center. Before leaving the
Registration Center you will receive your class schedule. Please
verify your schedule for accuracy and notify registration personnel
of any errors. You may print your class schedule from the PAWS Registration
Menu using the Student Schedule by Day and Time form.
Once registered,
you may switch sections and drop courses
without adviser approval through the end
of the first week of classes. Beginning the following Monday, all registration business must be
conducted at the Registration Center.
Withdrawal from the university must
take place at the Registration Center. |
