Preparing for Course Registration

• Be familiar with the academic calendar which includes registration, drop/add, WD deadlines etc.
• Identify the dates for on-line course registration
• Identify your advance registration access time. This is the time you will begin registering. All processes, listed below need to occur prior to your access time
• Make an appointment with your adviser
• Identify if you have any holds on your account and if so work to remove them prior to your registration date. To identify if you have any holds:
  • Go to www.ithaca.edu/registrar
  • Click on Student Links
  • Click on the blue Homer Connect box on the left, under General Student Information
  • Click the log-in in button near the top left corner, and log-in using your assigned UserID & Pin.
  • Click on the “Student, Financial Aid, and Residential Life” link.
  • Click on the “Student Records and Billing Information” link.
  • Click on the “View Holds” link, and you can see if there are any holds on your record.
• Review the semester course offerings available on line
• If you have selected a major review degree and major requirements (found in the IC undergraduate catalog)
• If you have not selected a major, be prepared to discuss any areas of interest you would like to explore.
• Set priorities (e.g., keep in mind specific degree requirements, times available to take classes, course sequencing)
• Identify courses that interest you and meet degree requirements
