Registration process for HDFS majors:

  3. Schedule an appointment with your advisor (prior to your registration date)

  4. Create a class schedule for the next semester.

  5. Meet with your advisor. Bring with you:
    » An updated DARS report
    » Your personal 4 year plan
    » Proposed schedule for next semester

  6. You may register for courses online or in person

 

Online (Full instructions may be found in the Course Timetable)

  1. Go to AccessStout

  2. You'll need your e-mail username and password -- if you've forgotten it, select "What's My User Name?" from further down on the menu.

  3. Use the "Search for Classes" function and make your selections.

  4. Submit and Print a copy of your schedule.

In Person

  1. Complete the Program Card by writing in your final choices for classes, giving special attention to synonym number, course number and section numbers.

  2. Sign and date your Permit.

  3. Turn in your completed Program Card and Permit (signed and dated) at 109 Bowman Hall (Registration and Records Office) on your registration date.

  4. Pick up your printed schedule in the lobby outside the Registration and Records Office, 109 Bowman Hall, on the same say you register.

  5. Add/Drop, as necessary, on the same day, to ensure the best choice of scheduling possibilities.

Note: This process does not apply to incoming students. Incoming students register in a group process conducted by the Advisement Assistance Center, 11 Bowman Hall.

 

What if I don't get a class I really need?

First try to add the class. Take an add/drop card and go to the professor teaching the class and ask for an overload in the class. If the instructor will not overload; ask if there is a wait list your name can be added to. Another option would be to attend the first day of class and ask the professor to add you to the class. Also talk to your advisor about other courses that you could possibly take.
