Priority Registration

Don't wait until the last minute to register! Take advantage of Priority Registration!

What is priority registration? It's the early registration period for currently enrolled students.

Am I eligible? Students enrolled within the last four academic years, with the exception of Consortium and other visiting students, who have no registration holds are eligible to register during the priority registration period.

How soon can I register? You may register at your assigned time or thereafter, but not before. Assigned registration times are determined by your number of credit hours earned. 

  • Graduate and post-baccalaureate student start times are determined by credit hours earned as a graduate student or post-baccalaureate student.
  • Undergraduate student start times are determined by credit hours earned. 

How can I find my assigned priority registration time?
Check the Priority Registration Schedule to find your priority registration window.  This is the date and time you can register.  Need to know your total earned hours?  This helpful handout will guide you: What's My Priority Quick Reference.

Schedule Advising Appointments Early!  IF you have an advising hold you must meet with your advisor prior to registering.

TIP: Have a hold? Review your holds on the My Records tab.  Be sure to contact the issuing department and arrange to have your holds cleared before your registration window opens!
