BEFORE YOUR REGISTRATION WINDOW

1.

Become familiar with WA=Web Advisor.   You’ll use your SU e-mail password.  See instructions on Registrar’s web page.  WA is accessible via the SU portal.

2.

Mar 12. Use WA to check your time window and any financial or other holds which would block your registration.

3.

Set up an appointment with your advisor well in advance of your time window.  WA signoff is required (use Fall advising sign-off for Summer).

4.

Begin using Web Advisor’s SU search to select preferred courses.  They’ll be there when your registration time arrives (see Time Window steps, below).  They can also improve your advising session. Click on the section number to check prerequisites.

5.

Review the various screen and instructions in the Web Registration Tips (a PDF file) on the Registrar’s web site.

WEB ADVISOR REGISTRATION DURING YOUR TIME WINDOW

1.

Use WA to check Student Registration Eligibility.  Be sure your advisor has cleared you for the Fall Term (good for summer too).   Be sure you have no registration holds for financial balance due, need to declare a major, or any other SU requirement.  Double-check your allowed start time (which applies only on your first day.  After that, you may start at 7 AM and go until 1:30 AM; midnight on the last day of the window).

2.

Exploratory searches should always use SU Search for Sections.  This SU-specific option displays important comments, including distribution requirements satisfied.  It also allows searches by area requirements, and for classes appropriate for first year students.  Click on the course number to check on the prerequisites.

3.

Within the WA Registration for Sections Option, use “Search and register for sections” or “Express registration” to find and select courses for your preferred list.  NOTE THAT YOU MAY DO THIS PRIOR TO ADVISING, CLEARING HOLDS, OR START OF YOUR REGISTRATION WINDOW.  You may use this as often as you like – results are saved from your previous visits.    Be sure to save your selections each time.

Watch for sections which require use of an add card.  These include many internship sections, all independent study sections, and a few sections requiring advanced approval by the instructor.  SU Search for Sections identifies the latter, while independent study and internship sections are generally not initially listed in the Course Schedule..

4.

Watch in advance for seat availability in SU Search for Sections and in counts display on your Preferred Sections list.

5.

You may remove unwanted sections from your preferred list using the RM option.  Do not mix this operation with different actions for other sections, though!

6.

ONCE YOUR TIME WINDOW BEGINS, use the “Register for previously selected sections” option and mark each desired section with RG = register.  Click the submit button.   We strongly recommend that you register for your sections One-At-A-Time so you can monitor error messages, because if multiple RG requests are submitted together, and if ANY of them fail, then ALL FAIL.  You should then remove the RG request from those with conflicts and re-SUBMIT.

7.

Check for error messages at the top of the screen, and also on the left side of each course with the RG actions specified.  A successful add or registration will also add the course to your schedule (on the lower section of the screen).  See the list of  error messages in the Web Registration Tips document on the Registrar’s web site. Double-check prerequsites.

8.

If your RG request is denied because the section is full, you may elect to resubmit with a WL=waitlist action.  This will add your name to a waitlist for that section.  This class will then appear at the very bottom of your screen in a waitlist section.   You may use the WA “Manage My Waitlist” option to remove sections, or to review the status.  If the instructor or department chair notifies you that you may enroll in the waitlisted section, you must obtain his/her signature on an add card and bring it to the Office of the Registrar.    You may also delete a waitlisted section from your list.  Note that instructors and departments will work the waitlists for several weeks after the end of the last registration window, and the waitlists will then be deleted.  Students have responsibility for making their cases for waitlist adds to the instructor or department chair.

9.

Go back into WA to confirm that all courses are actually SCHEDULED (no longer on preferred list).
