Registration Checklist

1. Determine your assigned day to register. (See Bear Web or Early Registration Schedule.) Note that classifications are based on hours COMPLETED. If you are anticipating the arrival of transfer hours that would quali fy you to register in another classification, you MUST make sure your transcript has been RECEIVED and EVALUATED by Admission Services or Academic Records before your day to register.
   
   
2. Make an appointment to be advised by your academic advisor(s) well in advance of your registration day, if required. If you delay making your advising appointment your advisor may not be available to see you until after your day to register!
   
   If you are undecided about a major, be prepared to discuss one or two options you are considering during the advising appointment. If you have multiple options or none at all, make an appointment to meet with a career counselor in Career Counseling (710-8434) well in advance of your advisement appointment.
   
   
3. Take any required placement exams (math, French, German, Spanish, or English.) Contact the appropriate departments for more information or click here: Placement Exams.


4. Check to see if you have any holds that will prevent you from registering. This information is available on Bear Web. Keep in mind that a registration HOLD is not the same thing as an advising FLAG.


5. 5. Check if your desired courses are open by accessing "Look Up Courses" on Bear Web or by reviewing "Course Listings" on the Baylor website. If one of your courses is closed, select an alternate course or you may wish to contact the department that offers the course to determine their policy for issuing "closed class permits." If a permit is approved, you will be able to register for a course that is officially full or you may be placed on a waiting list for a permit. Be aware that many departments are unable to give such permits!


6. For any questions concerning course prerequisites, refer to course descriptions in the Undergraduate Catalog or Graduate Catalog, as appropriate.


7. For information regarding the transfer of courses you may be considering taking during the summer at other schools, refer to the Transfer Work Policies and Equivalent Course Lists.
