Plan Your Schedule

Plan which courses to take for the term by meeting with your college advisor and using MyDegrees. Use the online tools to identify course offerings, times, and locations:

• General Catalog and Schedule of Classes: http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/
• MyOSU, Student Registration Tools: 'Look Up Classes' https://myosu.oregonstate.edu/

Priority Registration: Phases 1 and 2

Priority registration has two phases. Students register in group time blocks based on their credits earned and in progress. The more credits students have earned, the earlier they may register. Students may register in their assigned time block or any later time.

The two phases enable automated wait listing. Here is how it works for undergraduates:

• Phase 1 allows registration in a maximum of 16 credits. No wait listing is allowed.
• Phase 2 allows registration in a maximum of 19 credits plus a maximum of three wait listed classes.

Students may obtain registration times for phases 1 and 2 via their MyOSU account. Click on the Student tab and under Registration Tools, select View Priority Registration Status. Or see the priority registration tables in the online catalog at http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/ChapterDetail.aspx?key=374.

Registration Priority by Student Status

• Students with disabilities are given priority time slots to accommodate their special needs.
• Graduate and professional students will be able to register at the beginning of priority registration.
• Postbaccalaureate students will be able to register after undergraduate seniors.
• Athletes and Honors College students are provided with priority time slots to accommodate their special scheduling needs.

Registration PIN from Advisor

All degree-seeking undergraduates (including postbaccs) must have a Registration PIN to register for classes. Registration PINs are provided by colleges at the time of advising. Nondegree students are not required to have registration PINs.

Registering by WEB

Registration tutorials on adding, dropping, and waitlisting courses are available at http://oregonstate.edu/registrar/node/93/#Registration.

1. Check Eligibility to Register table above or in the Registration Information Handbook to see if you are eligible to register.
2. Obtain your Registration PIN number from your college advisor. (Not required for nondegree students.)
3. Login to MyOSU at https://myosu.oregonstate.edu. Enter your ONID name and password and click Login.
4. Obtain your registration times for phases 1 and 2: Click on the Student tab, and under Registration Tools select View Priority Registration Status and follow the directions.
   OR: Consult the Priority Registration schedules at http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/ChapterDetail.aspx?key=374 to find out when you may register.
5. Use Registration Tools to register. Follow the online instructions to complete your registration.

Caution: Do not wait until the last minute to process registration changes via the Web. Although generally available 24 hours per day, the Web online registration system is always down from 11:55 p.m. Friday until 7 a.m. Saturday. If you wait until 10 p.m. or later on a Friday night, you may encounter "system unavailable" messages or busy signals due to many people trying to use the system at the same time.

Registration Confirmation

You may confirm your schedule and print a copy of your schedule by loggin in to MyOSU at https://myosu.oregonstate.edu, select the Student tab and under My Student Stuff, click on 'My Class Schedule'.

IMPORTANT: Course offerings, course times and locations, and other important information related to courses may change. The Schedule of Classes in the online catalog on the OSU website always has the latest information. Click on Schedule of Classes. (http://catalog.oregonstate.edu/Default.aspx?section=ClassListing)

Wait Listing

In Phase 2, wait listing will be in effect—but only for certain sections selected by the departments. Look at the online Schedule of Classes. You will see that some sections have wait listing numbers listed just between the enrollment numbers and the section title.

When you try registering for a closed class, you now can add your name to an automated wait list. (Note: Not every section has wait listing.)

1. Type the CRN into the registration worksheet and click Submit.
2. Use the action column to choose wait list.
3. Then, click Submit again to add yourself to the wait list.

Monitor your ONID email account. When an opening becomes available you will receive an email directing you to return to your registration and enroll in the course within the designated 24-hour window. If you do not enroll in the course within 24 hours you will be removed from the wait list. At the time of registration the system will check for registration errors (Time Conflicts, Duplicates, and Link Errors). If you have a registration error, you must resolve it and enroll within the 24 hours or you will be removed from the wait list and the available seat will be passed on to the next student on the wait list.

Wait listing remains active until midnight Sunday of the second week of the term. If you are on the wait list at this time you are not registered in the course and should begin the second week add process if you still wish to be enrolled in the course. You do not need to drop or withdraw yourself from the wait list at this time.

Second Week Add Procedure

1. Go to the department offering the course you want to add.
2. If the department grants you permission, find a computer and register for the course.
3. You must type the CRN into the box provided beneath the courses for which you currently are registered, and hit the submit button. You should not select the course from the class search.

Automated second week adds will be available beginning midnight of Sunday of the second week of classes.

Transfer Work

If you have transfer credits that you have not yet submitted to OSU, you need to submit official transcripts to the Admissions Office at least four weeks prior to registration opening. Transfer credits are included in your earned credits used in part to determine your priority registration time.

General Access PIN (GAP)

A GAP is a 6-digit access number initially assigned to each student by the Registrar’s Office. Your initial GAP is your birthdate (month, day, year). For example, if your birthdate is April 3, 1988, your GAP will be 040388. The GAP is your Personal Identification Number used to access student information available through BANNER and the World Wide Web. Your initial birthdate GAP will expire upon your first entry into the information systems. You must then choose a new GAP, other than your birthdate. You also have the option to enter some additional information about yourself to use as a prompt should you forget your GAP and need to obtain a new GAP. You may also contact the Registrar’s Office, 541-737-4331, 102B Kerr Administration Building, if you forget your GAP.
