Registration Process as Related to Advising

There are several times during the year (in addition to other advising times) when advisors and advisees must meet together for the purpose of scheduling courses through the registration process.

As a part of the academic planning that takes place prior to the registration process, it is very important for advisors to monitor the selection and sequencing of courses with prerequisites in mind.  Since it is the advisor who maintains a record of courses completed by an advisee (this record is also available to advisees on their MyStuff account, it is the responsibility of the advisor (and not the instructor of any particular course) to make sure the student has completed the necessary prerequisites.  (In some courses, the permission of the instructor may substitute for prerequisites.)  It increases the academic risks for students if they take courses for which they have not been adequately prepared. Therefore, checking academic records for prerequisites can increase the chances for academic success. (Prerequisites are included in course descriptions in the University Bulletin.)

1.  Fall Registration:  Prior to the start of classes, advisors will meet with all freshmen, transfers and returning students who have not completed registration to select courses for the fall semester. Students are responsible for completing registration on-line or through the Registrar's Office (requires a signed Registration Form).

2.  Registration for Spring Semester: All students should plan to meet with their academic advisor at least a week prior to their designated on-line registration date for assistance in developing a course schedule for the upcoming semester/year. Advisors need to plan extended office hours and/or schedule conferences/appointments with their advisees. Advisees need to schedule appointments with their advisors.

3.  Summer School Registration: Advisors and advisees should meet together to select courses to take during summer school (and/or, in many cases, to repeat). Students planning to take courses at other institutions should have those courses approved by the Registrar' Office before taking courses. Once courses have been taken, the student must request that an Official Transcript be sent to High Point University's Registrar's Office.

STUDENT ADVISING & REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

1. Log on to your MyStuff and go to the "COMMUNICATION" section and click on "My Clearance and Matriculation" link. In this section you can check for any holds that you may have on your account that would prohibit you from completing the registration process. If you have a hold, go to the appropriate office and complete the necessary action (s) to remove. Holds are usually for not having paid all of your current semester fees, tickets, or for not having completed some activity in Financial Planning.

2. Make an appointment to see your advisor to plan your semester schedule and to have your advisor to "clear" you fo r registration. This should be completed at least one week prior to the time you are eligible to go on-line to register for classes. Check the registration dates for your appropriate time to complete on-line registration.
