Should I use e-Reg?
YES! e-Reg is a quick and easy alternative to pre-registering on paper. You won’t have to stand in line at the Office of Advising & Registration and you can pre-register anytime after your start time. That means, once your advisor approves your course selections, you can pre-register from the commons, from your res hall, anywhere you can log-in to WebAdvisor. We encourage you to give it a try before you make the decision to pre-register on paper. You may be pleasantly surprised!

What if I don’t use e-Reg?
If you don’t use e-Reg, you will need to fill out the pre-registration form included in this pre-registration packet, have it signed by your advisor, and bring it to the Office of Advising & Registration for processing. Please note: OAR is only open from 9:30-11:30 and 1:30-4:30 during pre-registration. You may pre-register on or after your scheduled pre-registration time during these office hours. That means if your start time is 8 AM, you will need to wait until 9:30 AM to pre-register on paper through OAR. If you use e-Reg you can pre-register at 8 AM.

What do I need to do to pre-register?
If you are using e-Reg, you should start building your Course Planning Worksheet as soon as possible. Once you have added a few courses to your plan, set up an appointment to meet with your advisor to discuss your choices. Once your advisor approves your courses, you can pre-register electronically on or after your scheduled pre-registration start time. You should also review your Degree Audit from your WebAdvisor account to prepare for this meeting. Don’t show up to the meeting with your advisor empty handed!

What if I have a hold on my account?
All holds are listed on your pre-registration letter and in your WebAdvisor account. Please visit the appropriate office to clear the hold prior to your pre-registration time. If you have a hold you cannot pre-register.

How do I know if a course is permission only or has pre-requisites?
If you're using WebAdvisor or scouring the "Course Offering Information" web site to look for courses, you'll see columns labeled 'PR' and 'PM' next to each course. If a course has a Y in the PR column, that course has pre-requisites; if the Y is in the PM column it is permission only.

How do I know what the pre-requisites are for a course?
There are two ways: (1) you can look up the course in the current college catalog, or (2) you can search for the course in WebAdvisor and the pre-requisite will be listed with the course description. To view a course description in WebAdvisor, click on any course title within your search results.

How do I get permission to pre-register for a permission only course?
For Music Performance courses (MUPF), visit the Music Department, Anderson Center for the Arts, for permission. For all other courses, you must obtain written permission from the instructor. Once you obtain written permission (a signed permission slip will do - available in the Office of Advising & Registration or online).
