Online Registration

Your second step in the online registration process is to leave your advising appointment with a completed class registration form, including Call Numbers, Discipline, Course Numbers, Section Numbers, and Advisor's Signature. After your advising appointment, your advisor will check your name off as having been advised. This will allow you to be able to register when your appointment time comes.

Your third step in the online registration process is to log on to AccessAU and click on the Academics tab. A gray box will come up with your scheduled appointment time indicated. (Be patient as it might take a second for the box to pop up.)

Once your appointment time arrives, click on the Academic tab and then on the class registration tab on the left hand column. You will fill out an Office of Public Information form and then proceed into actual online registration. Enter your call numbers and register for classes. When you are finished, click the save button.

Things to Remember when Registering for Classes:

• Departmental or Instructor Permission:

  Certain courses require permission from the department or the instructor of the course. You MUST have an "authorization to register"pin number which should be obtained from the department or instructor of the class. You will be prompted for this PIN number when attempting to register for these courses.

• Closed Classes:

  You will need an "authorization to register" PIN number in order to register for closed classes. These pins should be obtained from the instructor of the course. You will be prompted for the PIN number once attempting to register for a closed class. Note: Pin numbers can only be used once.

• Pre-requisites:

  When planning out your schedule, pay attention to whether a course has a pre-requisite. This is indicated on the Pre-Req column on AccessAU. If you have not met the pre-requisite, you will be denied access to the class. If this occurs but you have been given permission to over ride the pre-requisite, you will need to come by the Office of the Registrar and pick up a Special Permission Form. Once you get the appropriate authorized signature, the registrar office personnel will be able to process a manual over ride of the prerequisite requirement.

• Academic Load:

  A full time academic load is 12-17 hours. Students with above average academic performance may register for additional hours, but may not do so online. If you wish to register for additional hours, you will need to bring your completed Class Registration Form to the Office of the Registrar, after you have completed the online registration process.

• Do not make significant changes to your schedule without first consulting with your advisor.

  You are ultimately responsible for your progress toward completion of your degree.

• If you have any problems scheduling your classes on-line, please stop by the Office of the Registrar or Educational Support Services.

  If you have a financial aid hold on your account, speak with your Financial Aid counselor to resolve the issue so you can register for classes.

How to Take Summer Courses outside of AU:

1. Come to the Registrar's Office and pick up a Request for Courses Taken Elsewhere Form or print off a copy on-line
2. Fill out the form and attach a course description of the class from the college to the form.
3. Be sure you clearly indicate if you want to take the course(s) to fulfill Liberal Arts or to fulfill your Major/Minor requirements.
4. If the course(s) is to fulfill your Major/Minor requirement, you are required to get Department Chair approval. After completing the form and securing the required signatures from the chair of the major dept., return the form to the Educational Support Services office.

Things to remember when taking courses elsewhere:

• The course needs to be taken at a regionally accredited college or university for transferability.
• Repetition of a course: If you received a grade of "D" in a course at AU, you may not repeat it at another school. If you received a grade of "F" in a course, then you may elect to repeat it at another school, however, it will not replace the grade at AU or factor into your GPA.
• A final grade of C minus or above must be earned for the class to transfer. However, no grades will be recorded for transfer credit since your semester and/or cumulative grade point average (GPA) is figured on Anderson University work only.
• Residence Requirement: to earn a degree from Anderson University a student must be in residence at the university for the last 24 hours applicable to the degree. Under some circumstances, and with special permission, a maximum of 6 of the final 24 hours may be taken elsewhere. If this applies to you, then write your request on a full sheet of paper giving your reasons for wanting to take the courses out of residence. The Registrar will act upon this petition. Attach the letter to the Courses Taken Elsewhere Form.
• Graduation Requirement: Transfer credits from other institutions must be in the Office of the Registrar by April 1 of the year in which you expect to graduate.
