Registration Procedures for Continuing and Readmitted Undergraduate Students

 

Step 1: Check your e-mail for your degree audit and print it out. Then do the           following:

1. Find your registration time (it is at the end of the message, right before the degree audit). You must see your adviser and get your PAC before that time.

2. Check your degree audit. Is your major and/or minor correct? If not, go to the Change of Major/Minor website for instructions on how to change your major or minor. Then request a new degree audit through the MyBlugold.

Step 2: Check for any “holds” on the MyBlugold.

From MyBlugold, select My Info. Under My Registration, select Registration Appointment and Holds to see if there is anything preventing you from registering. This is usually a transcript that has not been received or a payment that has not been made.

Step 3: Make an appointment with an adviser

Do this ahead of your appointment time, especially if you are undeclared. The name and phone number of your adviser is printed on your Degree Audit.  Students not in good academic standing and transfer students without a previous degree must have an adviser's approval to register and must obtain a PAC (Personal Advising Code) from their advisers before registering.

Step 4: Review your degree audit

Your Degree Audit matches courses you have taken (or are enrolled in now) to graduation requirements based on the University Catalogue you are following, the degree you plan to earn, and the program(s) you have selected.  Check the data in the top box to make sure it is correct.  The rest of the Degree Audit is based on this information:
A Met icon or "OK" means you have already met that requirement.
A In progress icon means that you are in the progress of meeting a requirement.
A Unmet iconor "**" denote a requirement that you have not met.
Use this information to plan your course selections.

Step 5: Read the Class Schedule

Watch for comments regarding permission that may be required for a course.  Preassignments and special permissions for students must be coded on a computer file in the appropriate department office before registration.  You can view the Class Schedules on the Web.  Select a term, then a category of courses you are looking for. Once you've chosen the program or department, you can see the course description by clicking on the course number within the schedule listing.

Step 6: Check course prerequisites

Students must meet the course prerequisites indicated in the Class Schedules and the University Catalogue. Students seeking an exception to the prerequisites listed must obtain permission from the Chair of the department offering the course.

Step 7: Plan your classes and complete a Course Selection Form

Use your Degree Audit, the Class Schedule, the University Catalogue, and the Addendum to compile a list of courses and alternates.  Total your credits.  A credit load in excess of 18 requires permission from the Dean of the College/School in which you are enrolled.  Make a list of alternate choices!

Step 8:  Meet with Your Adviser

Your adviser will review your Degree Audit with you and discuss courses that complement your career goals and personal interests as well as meet degree program requirements.  If you are a Freshman or Sophomore, a Junior or Senior not in good standing, or a Transfer student without a previous degree, obtain your PAC (Personal Advising Code) from your adviser.

Step 9: Pay $100 deposit

You must pay a $100 deposit at least 24 hours before you register. This goes toward your next semester’s tuition. If you wish to take Winterim classes, you must also pay a separate $100 deposit.

NOTE: If you cannot pay the $100 and you have financial aid, check with the Financial Aid Office to see if you are eligible for a one-time waiver.

Step 10: Register on MyBlugold

1. You may register from any computer with internet access at your appointed time.

Instructions for registering on MyBlugold are available at http://www.uwec.edu/advising/students/newregistrationsystem.pdf.

2. Request that a copy of your schedule be sent to your email account. Print it out.

3. If you are unable to register at your appointed registration time, you may give a list of courses to the Registration Office and they will register you.

NOTE:  For questions concerning drop/add deadlines see Drop/Add - Change of Registration, or refund procedures see Refund of Fees.
