Registration

Brush up on what you need to do to ensure you are able to register for classes on time. Part of your success relies in ensuring that you get into the classes you want.

The Registration Process

All business students will need a registration PIN to enroll for classes. Freshmen, sophomore, junior and first-semester senior students are required to meet with an academic advisor in Cook 130 prior to receiving their registration PIN. Second-semester seniors may pick up their PIN in Cook 130. Students advised in SES (Student Educational Services) or in the Pre-Professional Health Program will receive their PIN from those advisors.

If you are an accounting or international business student, you will need to meet with your faculty mentor prior to enrolling for courses. Please check your Student Information on the University Self-Service Banner if you do not know the name of your faculty mentor. Other business students are encouraged to meet with a faculty member from their department, or you can meet with an academic advisor in the Undergraduate Student Services office in Cook 130.

After receiving any necessary advising, you may register in the following ways:

  1. You can use your access to the University Self-Service Banner to enroll yourself for classes. You are responsible for following all course pre-requisites and for fulfilling your degree requirements. If you have questions about any aspect of your program, please contact an academic advisor in Cook Hall 130. 
  2. You can complete a registration form and bring it to Cook Hall 130 and the staff will register you for courses.
