Registration for Fall 2010 Classes

Fall registration has been scheduled for the week of Monday, March. 29 through Wed, March 31 for Fall 2010 classes. All continuing students are expected to sign up for Fall 2010 classes during this week. To prepare for this, I have notified all academic advisors and the Advising Center to prepare to see advisees during the week of Monday, March 22 through Friday, March 26 to plan each of your schedules. Most advisors will have additional office hours for this purpose and many will post sign-up sheets in advance. It is important to sign up early in the week because advisor hours towards the end of the week are necessarily limited. If your advisor is not here this semester, you should meet with the Chair of the department. The Advising Center will take appointments starting March 29th for Frosh and Sophomore students who have not declared their major.

Each of you should think carefully about your desired academic program for the Fall 2010 before you meet with an advisor. To assist you, there are various tools located on the Academics tab in myOxy. In the Academics tab under the Registration, Forms & Planning channel you will find links to a worksheet which you can use to sketch a tentative schedule of classes to bring to your meeting with an advisor, the Fall 2010 course schedule, and your grades and academic record. The Academics tab is also where you will find a link to the NEW Add and Drop System in the Registration Information channel.  Note that any bookmarks you have for Reggie will NOT work.

Your registration envelope will be sent to your advisor (the registration envelope will also be sent to the Advising Center for students who have not declared a major yet)  from whom you will obtain it. Among other information the packet will contain your PIN (personal identification number) which you will need to log on to Reggie for registration, and your registration time.

Instructor Overrides: Remember that instructors are able, should they desire, to waive prerequisites for their courses or to override enrollment limits. If you know there is an "instructor permission" or pre-req you do not have for the class, see the instructor for that class to request an override PRIOR to your registration time if possible. If the instructor agrees, he or she may waive you into the class by entering an Override code so that you can add the class. Instructors will need your Oxy ID to achieve this.

Wait List Procedure: After registration week, there will be a two- to three-week period during which students and instructors will do whatever possible to get students off wait lists and into classes. After this period the wait lists established during registration will be eliminated.

Advising and registration will continue in more or less the same fashion as before. Students will access the "Add and Drop" process from any computer with online capacity. Students will be allowed on to register in groups, the number of which we have designed to manage website load efficiently. Students will obtain their registration PIN and registration time from their advisors during advising week. Once a student has been admitted to the website, he/she may return as often as he/she wishes up until the fall semester add deadline (the exact date is in the Academic Calendar ).

Here is the registration schedule:

  1. Rising Sophomores will go first on Monday, March 29.
  2. Rising Seniors are next starting Tuesday, March 30.
  3. Rising Juniors will then register on Wednesday, March 31.

Students who experience difficulties obtaining an acceptable class schedule have these options:

  1. They may return to their advisors who can call the student's registration screen up on their own computers and assist students with their schedules, or
  2. They may go to the Advising Center, located in Johnson 105 for additional help.
  3. Students may also contact the Director of Academic Advising, Vic Egitto at ext. 2727, via email at egitto@oxy.edu, or by visiting the Registrar’s Office.

If you have questions about these procedures please contact your advisor or the Registrar’s Office at ext. 2686.

Good luck in planning next year's classes.
