Steps for Successful Registration

Before your registration appointment date/time listed in Campus Connect, under the Manage Classes tile (check these instructions for additional details), you may add classes to your Course Cart and use the validate button to check for prerequisites and holds. If you receive an error, you will need to resolve the issue shown (e.g., immunization hold - upload immunization documentation) before you can register for the class when your registration time opens. On your registration day, you can choose some or all of the classes in your Course Cart and register.

  1. Go to Campus Connect.
  2. Click on the Advising, Progress & Graduation tile.
  3. Click on Degree Progress. A new tab will open (disable pop-up blocker). Click Run Report. Click Print at the top, right corner, then both, and you'll see the Degree Progress Report (DPR) worksheet/pdf view, which is ideal for keeping track of your degree requirements. Reference this before registering for any classes.
  4. Now that you see which classes you need to complete your degree, it's time to register! Go back to the Campus Connect tab and click Student Homepage.
  5. Click Manage Classes.
  6. Search for classes offered in the term for which you were admitted.
  7. Add classes to your Course Cart to validate and later enroll.
  8. On or after your registration appointment, go to your Course Cart and select some or all of your classes and proceed to enroll.
