Registration Information for Spring, 2010

Course overloads. Preregistration is limited to 18 semester credit hours. You may add additional courses during the All-College Change Period (Dec. 7-16) or after the Spring semester begins. Please note that registering for 21 or more credits requires permission from your advisor on the Overload Approval Form. To register for 22 or more credits, you must also meet with the Registrar and obtain her permission - please contact the Registrar's Office to make an appointment if you are considering registering for more than 21 credits.

Pre-registration for Spring, 2010 will be on-line using WebAdvisor. You must have your advisor's approval to register.

Please read How to Register with WebAdvisor before you register.

Your registration class is determined by the number of credits you have completed and the number of credits you are currrently registered for. Your registration class may not be the same as the class you normally identify with. For example, this may be your second year at Allegheny and you may think of yourself as a "sophomore," but it you have enough credits you would register as a Junior. Please check the "My profile" WebAdvisor screen to determine your registration class, registration letter group, and to verify that you have been approved by your advisor to register.

Registration Schedule
Seniors November 2-6
Juniors November 9-13
Sophomores November 16-20
Freshmen November 30 - December 4

 

The registration order is H, G, A, B, C, D, E, F. See below for details.

Each semester, the last two groups will move to the front of the list, in reverse order. For example, the registration order for Fall 2010 will be F, E, H, G, A, B, C, D. The following semester (Spring '11) it will be D, C, F, E, H, G, A, B. Using this procedure, each letter group will occupy each position in the list over an eight semester period and no group will be "near the end" two semesters in a row.

Prior to Registration

Before you register, you will need your WebAdvisor PIN and your advisor's permission to register. Your advisor will grant permission to register electronically, but you must see your advisor to consult about your schedule and obtain permission to register.

Test your PIN well ahead of your registration date. If you have forgotten it, or do not have one, bring a photo ID to the Registrar's Office.

If you are having difficulty accessing WebAdvisor with your PIN, bring a photo ID to the Registrar's office.

 

Signature Courses

Signature Courses may not be added with WebAdvisor. Students will have to get a signature card from the Registrar's office and get the instructor's signature. These cards will be honored for signature classes only - they may NOT be used to Add other courses. Cards must be returned by 5:00, December 16. They will not be honored after that date!

If a signature course brings your total credits to more than 18, the card will be returned to you unprocessed.
