1. Find out when your Registration Window opens by logging into E-Services and clicking on "Courses and Registration" followed by "Registration Window."  Make sure you select the appropriate semester.

2. Make an appointment to see your faculty advisor. Visit the Peer Advising Center in Flora Frick 151 if you do not know the name of your current advisor or log-on to E-services and under "Courses and Registration" click on "View/Modify Schedule."  Your advisor is listed at the top of your class schedule along with your current major. 

3. Print off your DARS transcript to bring to the advising session.  From the MSUM homepage, click on E-services.  Log-in and select "Grades and Transcripts"  on the left hand side.  Then select INTERACTIVE DEGREE AUDIT REPORT.  There is a "Printer Friendly" version that can be selected under the graphs on the left hand side of the page.

4. Be prepared for your advising session. Complete a trial course schedule. Include alternate courses and times in case your first choices are closed.  Bring questions about: liberal studies/Dragon Core, your major, internships, graduate school, etc.

5. See your Advisor during Advising Week. A new registration access code is assigned each semester.  You need the Registration Access Code to register. Freshman through Seniors must see their faculty advisors to get their access code (previous degree students, special students, and graduate students are not required to use Registration Access Codes).

6. Get approval for the classes that require permission.

7. Be sure you know your PIN number.  If you've forgotten, go to E-services and select the "Forgot your pin/password?" option found under the "Helpful Links" on the right side of the page.

8. Register on the web.

9. Holds. If you have a HOLD that is preventing you from registering, visit the department that placed the hold to find out what you need to do to have it lifted.

10. Searching for a Dragon Core course.  On the web, use the "Advanced Search" option under Courses and Registration in E-services.  Select the Dragon Core number (1a, 1b, 2, 3...) in the

General/Liberal Ed. box to see all of the courses that fulfill that area.

11. Overrides.  If you have problems getting needed classes, see the following persons:  Instructor, Department Chair, or Dean in the course area.

If the professor gives you an OVERRIDE, you are NOT automatically registered.  An override simply opens up a space for you in that class.  You must go and register for that class through E-services or Dragon Dial. 

12. Drop/Add Classes Online.  You no longer need to use the pink Drop/Add slips to drop classes before the Withdrawal Deadline. You can do this online!  CAUTION:  you are able to drop classes online after the 7th day of class, but you CANNOT ADD online after the 7th day.   To add classes after the Drop/Add Deadline, you must use the pink Drop/Add slips (found in the Academic Resource Office or the Records office).
