1. When do I register?
   
   Registration for continuing students occurs twice a year:

   • November for the spring semester
   • April for the summer & fall semesters
2. How do I register for classes?
   
   There are 3 basic steps to register:

   1. Meet with faculty advisor to discuss schedule and have advising hold removed from Campus Portal.
   2. Determine your registration date.
      If you are an undergraduate student, your registration date is based on your expected graduation date. All graduate students can register beginning on the first day of registration. A registration hold will be placed on your record until your scheduled date and time. You will not be able to register before your scheduled date and time.
   3. Once your registration date arrives, you will be able to create your class schedule via the student portal. Step-by-step direction to the portal are available [HERE].
3. Who is my advisor?
   
   Your advisor’s name and phone number will show up in the student portal under the "Advisor" section when you log in.
4. Can I choose my clinical section?
   
   Clinical assignments are made in the weeks before the beginning of the term by the Dean of Nursing. The Dean will email a list of available sites to all registered students. Students are then able to rank their top 5 choices before final assignments are made.
5. I have a HOLD on my account. What should I do?
   
   If you have a hold on your account, check the student portal to determine the type of hold.
   If you have a(n):

   Students registering late must submit a late registration form (late registration form).
8. Why can't I register for my elective?
   
   Step 11 of the campus registration instructions shows how to register for an elective. Simply choose the "elective" option under "display" in the "Course Search" menu. Then, click the search button. Available electives will display.
