Creating Next Semester’s Schedule:Registering in Banner
Registration Appointment Times - Appointment times are determined by the number of completed credit hours one has. You can find this on your transcript (“Earned” column, “Overall” row in Banner). This number does not include courses you are currently taking because you haven’t completed them yet. Once the appointment time ends, you will not be able to alter your schedule until the Schedule Adjustment Period begins which is November 12 through January 18.

Creating Next Semester’s Schedule:Tips to remember
Keep track of why you want a particular course (i.e. for a Gen. Ed., Intensive, Major, or Elective) so that you can use that as search criteria for alternates if your first choice is full.Anything taken for your Major or the General Education Requirements MUST be taken as “Graded” credit and not “Pass/Fail”.You may take a maximum of 1 P/F and 2 SA/UN courses in the same semester.If you aren’t in the course in Banner, you aren’t in the course. Print your schedule after you register, and again each time you make changes.If Banner is not working properly, for example you have a prerequisite on your transcript, but it won’t let you register for the following course, contact the Office of the Registrar (654-1063).
