Registration dates are assigned based on current academic level (hours earned), not projected academic level.
For example, within the junior registration period, a junior with 80 earned credit hours will have his registration date before a junior with 65 earned credit hours.
Please keep in mind:
- Departments often reserve seats for certain groups (for example, majors only) during the registration period and then open up remaining seats to all students when open enrollment begins.
- Students are encouraged to contact the department offering the course to discuss options if the class is full or to contact their academic advisor to discuss alternate class options.
- The decision on the order for registration dates is not made by one person - it is a university decision based on past enrollment trends and current needs.
