Your Two-Step Registration Support Plan

If you are a first-year or new transfer student who enrolled in Fall 2026, you have a built-in team to help you prepare for registration: your Peer Advisor (PA) and Faculty Advisor.

Together, they will help you understand how to register, what to register for, and how your courses fit into your degree plan.

STEP 1: Learn How to Register

Following Fall Break, your Peer Advisor will host Registration 101 workshops to help you learn how to use PeopleSoft and navigate the registration process.

Check out Registration 101 for the details and to add a date to your calendar!

STEP 2: Plan What to Register For

Your Peer Advisor will also help you prepare your course plan and look at your overall degree progress during a Registration Planning Meeting (RPM).

First-year students: Look for an email from your PA in early October with details about your RPM, which will take place sometime after Fall Break.

Your Faculty Advisor then provides the final academic review and approval of your course plan and will lift the hold so you can register.

Registration Ready: What You Need to Do

While your PA and Faculty Advisor are here to help, there are a few important things you need to take care of before your registration appointment opens.

1. Check Your "To Do" List

Review your To Do List in PeopleSoft and take care of any outstanding items or holds. Some holds require action from you, so don't wait until registration day.

2. Complete Your Required Advisor Meeting

You must meet with your Faculty Advisor before every registration period to review your course plan and overall degree progress.

Once your advisor approves your plan, they can release your Advisor Meeting Hold.

3. Take Care of Your Terms & Conditions Hold

Your Terms & Conditions Hold is one you need to clear yourself. It is a quick but important step toward being registration ready.

4. Register!

Once your holds are cleared and your registration appointment opens, you're ready to enroll in your Spring 2027 courses.
