Registration Information
Spring 2012
If you are currently off campus participating in a co-op or internship work session or a study abroad experience, please see Registration Information for Students Off Campus.
If you are currently a First Year Engineering student completing your FYE requirements and planning to join the School of Chemical Engineering, please see FYE Transition Registration Information.
Registration and Scheduling
Registration appointments for the Summer and Fall 2012 semester will begin in late February. Students are advised in descending order based on classification (senior, junior, sophomore) to allow PINs to be received prior to the time ticket window for each classification.
Registering for courses can be easy, if you follow these steps:
- Make an appointment by seeing Sandy in FRNY 1057 during your designated time frame. She is available daily 8am-noon and 1-4:30pm.
- Students who no not schedule an appointment during the designated time frame or miss their scheduled appointment will not receive PINs prior to their time ticket. Those students will be provided appointments during delayed registration beginning April 23, 2012.
- Prepare for your advisor meeting and watch your Purdue e-mail for additional instructions.
- During your meeting, you and your advisor will discuss your progress toward graduation, verify your intention to complete minors, concentrations, honors, etc. You'll also receive your Summer and Fall 2012 “Alternate PIN.” Previous semester's PINs will not work.
- Prepare for online myPurdue registration
- When your Time Ticket date arrives, register for courses using myPurdue
- Pay your tuition and fees
- Change your schedule after registration, as needed.
Before Meeting with your Advisor
IMPORTANT: On myPurdue, verify your local and permanent addresses, as well as your emergency contact information. Click on the “Academic” tab. At the top left of the page below "Quick Links" and "Personal Information" are several links to update this information.
- Print out the appropriate Plan of Study
- Mark the courses you’ve taken and are currently taking on the plan, so you know which courses you still need to take.
- Access any of the Registration Resources you need in order to make course decisions.
- Determine and record your intended courses on the Form 23A provided by Sandy when you schedule your appointment. This form MUST be completed and WITH YOU when you attend your advising appointment
- Many of you will attend your advising appointment prior to the Fall 2012 Schedule of Classes being published on MyPurdue. You may reference the fall 2011 schedule on myPurdue as a guide to offerings outside of Chemical Engineering. It won’t be exact, but it should allow you to form a tentative schedule. The course schedule for CHE courses for fall 2012 is available in the Registration Resources below.
Time Ticket Information
A “Time Ticket” is a range dates and times you are allowed to register for courses on myPurdue based on your classification. You can see your Time Ticket beginning on March 12. Log into myPurdue, click on the Academic Tab and then on the Registration Status link.
Your Time Ticket might look a little strange at first. It will have several lines. The first line indicates the day and time you can start registering. The two lines of times combine to make one continuous block of time. For example:
|
April 16, 2012 01:00 pm - April 16, 2012 11:59 pm |
|
April 17, 2012 12:00 am - April 21, 2012 11:59 am |
In the above example, you could begin registering at 1:00 p.m. on April 16 and can continue to make additions and changes through April 21 at noon. Remember that 12:00 a.m.= midnight and 12:00 p.m. = noon.
Here are the estimated Time Tickets for the Summer and Fall 2012 registration. Your classification (freshman, sophomore, etc.) is based on the number of credit hours you have completed and passed (F's don't count). These hours do include advanced placement, foreign language placement credit, and transfer credit.
Prepare for Registration on myPurdue
- Check for holds on myPurdue by clicking on the "Academic" tab, then on the "Do I have any Holds?" link under "Registration Tools" category. Clear any Holds you may have as soon as possible to ensure your ability to register for classes.
-
Start looking up courses and times using the "Look Up Classes" link under the "Academic" tab on myPurdue.
- Check each course for pre-requisites and restrictions. These are indicated by an "R" in a gray circle on the far right of the page.
- Look for the Red Flag icon! This means that this course has multiple, linked sections that must be added simultaneously. These other sections might be labs, recitations, or practice-study-observations (PSOs) that accompany the lecture.
- Use a Schedule of Classes Grid to write down both the time and date of a course section along with its CRN (Course Registration Number). This will make it easier to add courses on myPurdue.
Register for Courses on myPurdue
Watch for your Time Ticket under the "Academic" tab. As soon as you are allowed to register, do so to obtain the best times. If you have done your research, this should go smoothly. However, if you run into problems, please contact your advisor!
After Registration
Tuition and fees must be paid before the date printed on your e-bill, available on myPurdue. If your payment is not received prior to the start of the second week of classes, then your registration will be cancelled. You will then be charged a $200 late fee after re-registering for classes.
Changing Your Schedule After Registration
- Open registration for all students starts April 23, 2012. You can do this from any computer with an internet connection as long as you have your Alternate PIN available.
- Make all schedule changes BEFORE the first day of classes. If you don't, you risk losing your seat in your class. Starting on the first day of classes in any semester, students can no longer re-add sections they have dropped. This makes it impossible to change courses with multiple sections without standing in long lines at your advisor's and the Registrar's office.
- Lost Your Alternate PIN? Once you have used your PIN at least once, you can look it up on myPurdue by clicking on the “Academic” tab, then “Registration PIN”, and finally select the term.
