Registration
Registration is the process of enrolling in courses for a term and possibly
making adjustments (adding, dropping, withdrawing, changing grading method)
to that schedule of classes.
Registration for classes is done via the
web by securely logging into the MnSCU web system (www.mnsu.edu/msureg) using
a tech ID and a PIN. For any given term the same basic pattern is followed:
- Registration begins in roughly the middle of the previous term and continues
through the fifth day of the term being enrolled in.
- During the first two weeks of registration, the times
when students can begin to enroll ("windows") are controlled and
based upon their earned credit total. Summer term registration does not utilize
windows.
- Students can use the web to add, drop, and change the grading method of
classes through the fifth day of the term.
- After the fifth day of the term:
- students can no longer add courses via the
web
- course drops are considered withdrawals
- students
are no longer enrolled in the course, but the course is still
a part of their record having a grade of "W" to signify that it was
a withdrawal
- the course does count insofar as
being attempted is concerned and does affect a student's completion
rate
- withdrawals via the web can be done through roughly the
twelfth week of a term
- grading method changes can still be done via the web through
the tenth day of the term
- Adjustments to student schedules after the above times are considered appeals
and need to be handled through the Registration Help Center.
- Official Withdrawal (dropping all courses for a term) can be done through
roughly the fourteenth week of a term and is accomplished by contacting Student
Financial Services
While registering for classes students may often find that they are not able
to enroll in some classes on their first attempt. There are many different
reasons for this (classes filled, prerequisites needed, instructor permission
required, etc.) and the registration system gives that information to students
on their unsuccessful attempts. The solutions, in most cases, to these problems
normally involve contacting the instructor/department of the course. If the
situation has been resolved favorably, the student then logs into the registration
system and again attempts to enroll in the course--hopefully being successful.
It is important to note that instructors do not register students for classes. Instructors
can make it possible for students to enroll themselves in classes.
