Registering for Classes Online

Before registering for classes, review the Course Planning Guide (CPG) and Class Schedule to see what classes are available. Check that you do not have any registration holds, and make sure you know when to register. One way to avoid holds is to answer all requests from PSU via email or letter in a timely manner. Banweb Registration Hub: pdx.edu/registration/banwebregistration-hub Course Projections Guide: The Course Projections Guide (CPG) is a projected list of courses to be offered during specific quarters of the academic year. Listings are subject to change throughout the year, and you should check back periodically for the latest projections. The CPG can be viewed at cpg.sa.pdx.edu. Class Schedule: Class schedules for future terms are available online approximately two weeks before registration for the term begins. You can view the class schedule by program or category, or you can search by class or instructor name. The class schedule is available at banweb.pdx.edu. Registration Holds: Registration holds are placed on student records for past-due accounts, missing measles documentation, missing admissions data, or other reasons. Information about holds and how to clear them is available at banweb.pdx.edu. When to Register: Students begin registering for classes during the pre-term registration period and may make changes to their registration well after the term begins. Pre-term registration dates are prioritized according to student class standings (starting with Graduate students), determined by the number of credits, earned as follows:

Standing

Credits earned/completed Graduate Fully admitted to a graduate program Postbaccalaureate Students hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university and formal postbaccalaureate admission

Senior

135+ Junior 90–134 Sophomore 45–89 Freshman 1–44

To increase the chances of securing a place in your preferred classes, you should register as soon as possible once your registration queue opens. Online Registration Hours: Registration opens at 8:00 a.m. for each registration group. Subsequently, registration is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the last day to add classes each term. Priority registration schedule: pdx.edu/registration/calendar. Registration Deadlines: The Academic Calendar lists deadlines related to adding and dropping classes, making grade option changes, withdrawing from classes, and refunding percentages. These dates are important because they determine the extent of financial obligation incurred by registration activity, and they determine if and how a class registration will be recorded on a student’s transcript.

HOW TO REGISTER FOR CLASSES pdx.edu/registration/how-register Registering for classes at PSU is done through banweb.pdx.edu. Follow these steps to register for classes: 1. Open a web browser (Google Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) and type banweb.pdx.edu into the address bar. 2. Type the Username and Password you created in the Odin/OAM computer account creation process.

After you have entered your username and password, click the Sign In button. The Banweb home page will open. 3. Once you're logged in to Banweb, select the Student Services tab, then select Registration and Class Schedule. 4. Update student information if appropriate, then click on Continue to Registration Menu. This step only occurs the first time each term that you log in to the PSU Information System. 5. To search for courses, select Register for Classes.

HOW TO REGISTER FOR CLASSES USING THE CLASS SEARCH FEATURE 1. The Advanced Search feature allows you to search for courses according to subject, course number, title, credit hours, part of term, instructor, attribute type, start and end times, and days of the week. Choose one parameter or several, then click on the Search button.

2. Select or type your search criteria into the necessary fields. Then click the Search button. A list of sections found will load.

Closed Classes: A class that is full will say “Full” in red in the status column. However, seats on the waitlist may be available. Available Seats: Hovering over the information in the Status column will show you how many seats are available in the class or on the waitlist.

The number of people registered for a class and the number of seats remaining in a class are not always accurate based on real-time registration and should only be used as an estimate. 3. After you have reviewed the course listings, click the Add button in the far right column to register. The course will appear in Pending status in your registration Summary pane. 4. Once you have selected your courses, click the Submit button at the bottom of the pane. Any errors will pop up in a window at the top of the screen.

Errors include the following:

CLOSED SECTION: The class is full, but you may be able to register for the class with a departmental override if there is no waitlist. Contact the department for its override procedure.

CORQ PH 107 REG: The class has a required co-requisite for which you must register at the same time that you register for this class.

PREQ: The class has a prerequisite that has not been completed.

MAJOR RESTRICTION: You may only register for this class if you are majoring in this department.

TIME CONFLICT: The class for which you are trying to register overlaps with another class for which you already registered. 7. If there are no errors, once you click Submit, the Status will update to read Registered.

HOW TO REGISTER FOR CLASSES USING CRN (COURSE REFERENCE NUMBER) 1. If you already know the CRN for a course you want to take, you can add the class directly by CRN. 2. On the Register for Classes page, enter the CRN for the class and click Add to Summary. 3. Follow the steps to submit your registration from the Summary pane.

HOW TO DROP A CLASS Dropping a class may be necessary if you register for the wrong class or section by accident. Students must initiate all drops and withdrawals from a course. It is your responsibility to drop or withdraw properly by the deadline dates in the Academic Calendar: pdx.edu/registration/calendar. You may drop a course online with no record of the course on your transcript up to the end of the second week of the term during Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. (As a courtesy, you should notify the instructor that you intend to drop.) From the beginning of the third week up to the end of the seventh week, you may withdraw online or by using a Special Registration form, but a “W” will be recorded on your transcript.

Follow the steps below to drop a class:

1. In the Register for Classes page, locate the Action dropdown menu. 2. Click the Action dropdown menu, select Drop Course WEB, Withdraw Course WEB, or Drop/Delete Pre-Term Web depending upon the available options, then click the Submit button at the bottom of the page.

When you choose to drop or withdraw a class and click Submit, you do not get a chance to cancel the submission. If you mistakenly drop a class, you must completely re-register for it before the add deadline. HOW TO GET ON A CLASS WAITLIST Getting on a class Waitlist can help you get into a closed class if someone drops the class. This option permits a department to obtain a chronological list of names of students who wish to be considered for the next available seat in the class. 1. If you receive a message that a course is full, but a Waitlist is available, select Waitlist WEB from the drop down menu. 2. Click the Submit Changes button at the bottom of the screen. Once on a Waitlist, you will not be automatically registered for the class if a seat becomes available. Once a seat becomes available, a notification will be sent to the first person on the Waitlist via their PSU email account, letting them know they can register for the course. You have exactly 24 hours from the time this email is sent to register for the reserved seat. Instructions on how to add a course from the Waitlist when a seat becomes available will be contained in the notification email. Once 24 hours have elapsed, you will automatically be dropped from the Waitlist. If you still need the course, you will need to put yourself back on the Waitlist. It may be beneficial to re-check the schedule to see if there is availability in other courses.

SPECIAL REGISTRATION In certain cases, you may find that you need or want to take a course but cannot register for it online. pdx.edu/registration/how-register
