We are at record levels of enrollment at OSU so demand for courses is great. We strongly encourage you to increase your opportunity to access courses by registering just as soon as your Phase 1 and Phase 2 registration period opens.
How do I Wait-list a class?
January 31st, 2013Please watch this instructional video on wait-listing procedures and how to confirm you are wait-listed into a given course. http://oregonstate.edu/registrar/Captivate/Waitlisttutorial_demo3/Waitlisttutorial_demo3.htm
What is Phase 1 and Phase 2?
January 31st, 2013During Phase 1, you may register for up to 16 total credits and wait-listing is not activated. If you plan to register for more than 16 credits, you should register for courses that have a high-demand or low number of available seats during Phase 1. During Phase 2 you may register for up to 19 total credits and may wait-list into a maximum of three courses if wait-listing has been activated for that closed class.
When do I register?
January 31st, 2013Your registration time is determined by the total number of credits earned or accepted in transfer and the number of credits that you are currently enrolled in for the term. The more credits you have, the sooner you will register. To check your assigned priority registration time: Log into “Student Online Services” – click on “Registration” – click on “Check Your Registration Status” – select “the upcoming term” – your Registration Status will be displayed. As classes fill up on a first come, first served basis, it is very important for you to register at your assigned day and time.
When/why should I talk to an advisor?
January 31st, 2013When you: A. Have had any changes in your academic plan, B. Are considering declaring any new program of study (minor, major, specialization), C. Would like guidance on putting together your class schedule for the next term, D. Want to discuss career plans or internships, E. Have an urgent concern or need and are not sure where to go for help on campus, F. It is mandatory to meet with your advisor spring term to discuss your course plan for the coming year and to obtain your registration PIN. Your advisor will notifiy you via email when early fall advising will begin. It is strongly recommended that you check in once a term to update your file and make sure you’re on track.
Am I required to see my advisor to register for Spring classes?
January 31st, 2013You DO NOT need a new Registration PIN for Spring Term and the system will not ask you for it. (A few students in special categories, including NCAA athletes and students working with Disability Access Services do get a new PIN). ALL students in CEOAS must see their advisor in the SPRING to get a new PIN for FALL Registration.
What if my parents or another guardian/mentor needs access to my student records?
January 31st, 2013Due to FERPA privacy laws, student records cannot be disclosed without written permission of the student. If you wish to consent, please talk with your advisor about how to release this authority.
Who can I contact if I have general questions about classes online?
January 31st, 2013Please visit Ecampus at: http://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/about/welcome/faqs.htm
Can I count the same course towards both the ENSC Core Curriculum (Sections B & C) and my Specialization (Sections D)?
January 30th, 2013No. Courses taken for a Specialization cannot double count with courses in the ENSC Core.
Do I have to choose a Specialization?
January 30th, 2013Yes. Discuss the choices with your advisor. To declare a specialization you need to complete the “Specialization Declaration Form” available from your advisor.
