CheckmarkMeet with Advisor

Undergraduates, and graduates in certain programs, must meet with faculty advisors prior to registration. Many programs have complex degree requirements or require that courses be taken in sequence. Your faculty advisor will help you plan your academic program accordingly. Your faculty advisor will also provide your semester advising code. It is your responsibility to set up an appointment with your advisor or advising office. For departmental contact information, see http://web.uncg.edu/reg/dept/deptcontact.asp.

If you are an undergraduate in Business & Economics, College of Arts and Sciences, Education, Health & Human Performance, Human Environmental Sciences, or Nursing, please generate and print your degree evaluation from UNCGenie and take it with you to your advising appointment (or request a degree audit, depending on entry term and major). Instructions for accessing your degree evaluation can be found on our CAPP page.

Review course prerequisites and other course restrictions in the Undergraduate or Graduate School bulletins before you register; not all course restrictions are published in the Schedule. Be aware of all course and program requirements before registering.

CheckmarkObtain Required Personal and Course Information

Have your Student Identification number, Personal Identification Number (PIN), and advising code ready for use before you attempt to register or to drop or add courses.

If you have lost, forgotten, or disabled any of the above, take appropriate action before you register.

You must use a specific five-digit Course Reference Number (CRN) to register for each class (see course listings in the Online Course Search). Verify courses and CRNs before you register to make sure you are entering the correct information.

CheckmarkActivate Your E-mail and Other Computer Accounts

E-mail is the most often-used vehicle for communication on the UNCG campus, with important notices and deadlines being sent by this method only. Registration information, for example, is sent strictly by e-mail.

Activate your e-mail account as soon as possible. You should always maintain a current e-mail address so that you will receive important notices from campus. The ITS site http://its.uncg.edu/Email will help you obtain e-mail access here at UNCG.

CheckmarkRegister During Your Access Window

Undergraduates are assigned registration access windows during registration periods. Graduate students are not assigned access windows and may register any time the system is open (but may be subject to late fees if registering late). If you have a question about the assignment of your access window please call the University Registrar’s Office at 336/334-5946. Your access window is in your Electronic Personal Data message. You may also access your window by logging into UNCGenie/Student Services & Financial Aid/Registration/Check Your Registration Status.

CheckmarkView and Print Your Class Schedule and Fee Assessment

Schedule: After you register or make changes to your schedule, view your Student Schedule by Day and Time to make sure there are no time conflicts between courses. Please print your schedule for your records. Be sure to check for rooms and meeting times via UNCGenie immediately prior to the first day of class.

Fee Assessment: Check your fee assessment and print a copy of the statement after you register.

CheckmarkComply with Immunization Clearance

(see www.uncg.edu/shs/ for exemption information)

As part of the registration process, all new students are required to submit verified immunization records to Student Health Services. These records must be complete within 30 days of the first day of classes. Failure to comply with North Carolina immunization requirements will result in the cancellation of your registration. For more detailed information contact the Immunization Office in Student Health Services at 336/334-4086.

CheckmarkPay Bills by Deadlines

Bills will be mailed to those who register between April 2 and August 1. No bills will be mailed to students who register after August 1. Pay your tuition and fees by the deadline stated in your bill and/or in the registration calendar. Failure to pay your tuition and fees by the deadline will result in the cancellation of your registration. Students who are canceled for nonpayment must reregister or seek reinstatement. Continuing students who are canceled will be required to pay a late registration fee when they re-register.

CheckmarkBuy Your Textbooks

When you receive your class schedule, stop by the campus bookstore and look through our selection of new and used (25% savings when you buy used) textbooks. Buy them right then and there and take them with you. You may also reserve your textbooks online for in-store pickup or convenient delivery. Visit http://uncg.bkstore.com/ for complete instructions.

CheckmarkNeed a parking permit?

Go to Parking Services, Walker Parking Deck, 336/334-5681 (7:30 A.M.–5:00 P.M.), http://parking.uncg.edu. You may not park on campus without this permit.

CheckmarkHave Your Picture Taken

Obtain your UNCG FirstCard ID at the FirstCard Center in Room 121, Elliott University Center (EUC), 336/334-5651, 8:00 A.M.–5:00 P.M. You must take proof of course registration (printout from UNCGenie) and photo identification to get your ID card. Your ID card will be automatically activated when the semester begins. You will not have access to certain campus services until your ID has been activated.

CheckmarkReview Your Fall 2008 Schedule

Because the system will not automatically drop you from classes you do not attend or have stopped attending, review your schedule and drop any class you have decided not to attend or that you may have registered for in error. Complete any drops by October 17, the deadline to drop without academic penalty. If you drop classes, be sure to view your modified schedule to verify all transactions. Contact the University Registrar's Office at 336/334-3163 if you believe there is a problem with your schedule.
