The on-line pre-registration system will open for students at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, November 30th , and close at 9:00 am on Tuesday, December 4th .  All courses for which on-line early registration is available are marked in the coursebook as On-line registration at the end of the course description. To be eligible to use the system you must be financially cleared with the office of student accounts.

 

The “regular” registration day will be on Wednesday, December 12th. Your registration card will be placed in your campus mailbox on Tuesday, December 11th, and will list all the courses for which you have been pre-registered through the on-line system.

 

All faculty who used the on-line system will be in their offices on registration day, and, if there is space available, will continue to sign students up for those courses for which on-line pre-registration was available. Faculty who chose not to use the on-line system will be in Olin as usual.

 

Faculty will only be able to pre-register you if you use the on-line system (that is, sending an email will not put you on the official list of students who have requested pre-registration).

 

If you are a senior we will automatically register you for the second half of your senior project. You do not need to request registration through the on-line system.

 

First-year seminar registration will happen after registration for other courses.

 

Before using the pre-registration system, please be sure to read the coursebook thoroughly and meet with your adviser to discuss course selection for the spring.
