Undergraduate Catalog / Registration

Students who are officially admitted to The University may register for courses. Prior to each academic semester, a registration period is held. Dates of these registration periods and the dates of other transactions that affect student course schedules are printed in the Schedule of Classes.

Freshman Registration

To assist freshmen who are entering the University in the Fall semester, a special freshman registration is held in conjunction with freshman orientation. Only freshmen who attend orientation are advised and register at this time. Dates for freshman orientation are provided for entering freshmen in advance of the scheduled orientation days. New students must complete the admissions process through the Office of Admissions prior to enrolling in classes. (See the Admissions section of the catalog and contact the Office of Admissions for further details.) Individuals who desire financial aid assistance should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid and complete paper work several months in advance of Freshman Orientation in order that their aid may be processed in a timely manner. (See the Financial Aid section of the catalog and contact the Office of Student Financial Aid for details regarding financial aid.)

ALL entering freshmen must take UNIV 1101 (Freshman Seminar).

Early registration for current students

Students who are currently enrolled (students who have attended the University within the last two semesters) are permitted to register in advance during the prior semester, provided they are in good standing with the University. Dates of early registration are listed in the semester calendar of the Schedule of Classes and are otherwise advertised on campus via posters and signs. Students are encouraged to become knowledgeable of the rules governing early registration, consult their advisor prior to early registration and understand the arrangements for payment of tuition and fees. Students receiving financial aid are encouraged to consult with the Office of Student Financial Aid prior to the early registration period to permit proper processing of their financial aid (See the Financial Aid section of the catalog for details and contact the Office of Student Financial Aid regarding financial aid). Currently enrolled students may forego the early registration period and register during open web registration or regular registration, each held prior to the beginning of classes.

Transfer students and students reenrolling after one or more years absence

Students who are transferring to the University or who are reenrolling in the University after one year or more absence are permitted to register for classes during regular registration held prior to the commencement of classes only if they have been admitted or readmitted. This registration period, is provided to enable a student to complete the registration process including consulting advisors, signing up for classes and paying tuition and fees. Students who are seeking financial aid and who have not completed this process several months in advance of this registration will inevitably be delayed in receiving funds from federal grants and secured and unsecured loans. (See the Financial Aid section of the catalog for details regarding financial aid.) Dates of registration are listed in the semester calendar of the Schedule of Classes.

Web Registration

Web registration is available through CampusConnect which is located on the home page of the UTPB website: www.utpb.edu. To be eligible to WEB register, students must have met TSI requirements, received a PIN number from the Office of the Registrar, and received advisement from their academic advisor. In addition, student records must be cleared of any restrictions. CampusConnect allows students to view and print class schedules, grade reports, and unofficial transcripts.
