When do I register?
Registration times at SCSU are based on your status as a priority student or on the number of earned semester credit hours recorded on your SCSU transcript.
Priority Registration
Priority registration is granted for the following groups of students:
- students with disabilities,
- students who have earned a baccalaureate degree from SCSU,
- students admitted to graduate programs,
- students admitted to the honors program in good standing.
Priority student registration time is based on the last two digits of your social security number. Remaining admitted student registration time is determined by the number of earned semester credits you have completed.
Earned Credit Registration
Semester credits that are completed and have an assigned grade are used to determine priority or eligibility to access online registration during advance registration.
- “Completed” is defined as passing grades or transfer credits officially posted to your SCSU academic record.
- Your earned semester credits do NOT include credits in which you are currently enrolled.
- You may register at any time after your scheduled registration window opens.
Special Student Registration
Special student registration begins February 20 (afternoon). Individuals who do not wish to enroll as a degree seeking student and plan to take no more than a cumulative total of 20 undergraduate semester credits may become a student by completing a Special Student Registration Form. See http://www.stcloudstate.edu/registrar/students/registration/non-degree.asp for further information.
- Non-admitted student (special student) registration is according to the last two digits of your social security number.
- You may register at any time after your scheduled registration window opens.
Getting Ready to Register
- Identify courses from the summer sessions schedule that you would like to take.
- Select alternate courses in case your first choice is not available.
- See your academic adviser to discuss your schedule and, if necessary, to get your registration access code to register.
- Make sure that you have both your SCSU ID number and password available as you will need both to access the online registration system.
- Access the online registration system at www.stcloudstate.edu/registrar to register for your classes. Click on “e-Services Sign-In.”
After You Register
- No deposit is required to register for classes, but you must pay tuition and fees by the deadline date to avoid cancellation of courses, registration holds, and the possible cancellation of future registrations. Visit the Business Services Billing and Payments website for more information.
- You may adjust or change your schedule at any time during the official registration periods.
- Keep in mind that dropping classes after the dates indicated in the calendar could result in a W for the course and you may not receive a full refund.
