Getting
registered for your first term of classes at BSU is an exciting process.
This guide, along with the current undergraduate
catalog and the aid
of academic advisors, will allow you to make knowledgeable decisions
regarding course selection and registration.
- Using the courses
you identified earlier, consult the course schedule to determine
if and when the course you are interested in are offered.
- Make sure the
courses you are registering for do not have any prerequisites that
you haven't satisfied.
- Using a course
planning guide, start with writing in courses you wish to register
for. Make sure to block out the time the course meets each day of
the week to avoid scheduling classes that conflict with one another.
- It is helpful
to write the 6-digit course ID on your course planning grid.
- After you have
selected courses, in consultation with an academic advisor, you may
access web registration. Have your student ID number and Personal
Identification Number (PIN) ready.
