Priority Registration

Priority Registration is so named because matriculated students are given priority to register for classes before new students as well as most non-degree visiting or special status students. Matriculated continuing and eligible returning students are given a priority time assignment on the number of credit hours completed.

Priority registration time assignments are scheduled for one week following a scheduled advising week. Registration times are assigned to all students based on credit hours completed and credit hours in progress. With the exception of varsity athletes and students needing special accommodations, students with the most credit hours register before students with fewer hours. In order to benefit from the priority time assignment, students should enroll at or soon after their assigned times. Students should not, however, miss class to register.

Continuing (currently enrolled) students are expected to register for the upcoming term during priority registration.

Re-admitted and Returning Students
Matriculated degree-seeking students who are not enrolled in the current term will not be assigned a registration time ticket for priority registration for the upcoming term. Students in good academic standing who are returning to the University after taking a leave of absence of one or more terms are eligible for priority registration provided the appropriate University official is notified prior to the first day of the scheduled priority registration period.

• Returning Undergraduate Students Contact the Center for Academic and Career Development
  • Exception: Womens College and University College undergraduates contact an admission or registration advisor at their college

• Returning Graduate Students Contact the Graduate Studies Admission Office (http://www.du.edu/learn/graduates/) or the admission office of the appropriate college, school or program of study. (http://www.du.edu/learn/graduates/)

Once the request for readmission is processed, a priority registration time will be assigned based on hours completed at the end of the last term attended. Courses in the process of being transferred to the University from colleges or universities attended during the leave of absence will not be included in the calculation for the priority time assignment.

Check your Registration Status Students should check their current Enrollment Status on-line before attempting to register. The Check Enrollment Status page provides information including a students individual time assignment for priority registration, registration holds that will block registration if not cleared and other items that may affect the students ability to register.

• Once logged in to webCentral, select the myWeb tab, choose Student and Financial Aid, click on Check your Registration Status, select the term and submit.

Students can register at or after their assigned registration assigned times through the last business day prior to the first day of the quarter; however, students should register as early as possible to have the best selection of courses. Students who do not register prior to the first day of the quarter will be assessed a late registration service charge.

Students with Early Registration Privileges: Priority registration for the spring quarter, 2005, is the last term in which students with early registration privileges will be able to register during advising week. Students participating in the Cherrington International Scholars or other study abroad programs will no longer have early registration privileges.

Effective with priority registration for fall quarter, 2006 student varsity athletes and students who need special accommodations are permitted to register the Friday before priority registration week.

Priority Registration extends up to but ends the first day of the quarter. Although registration remains open to all students through the first five business days of the quarter, registration beginning on the first day of the quarter is considered Late Registration. All students (continuing, new, returning stop-outs and readmitted) who do not register before the first day of the quarter are assessed a late-registration service charge that cannot be waived.

Once registered, students may drop and add courses freely through the fifth business day of the quarter without financial penalty.
