All students are required to use the web to register. New students register online during the summer using the decision tree created by the Dean of the College's Office and therefore do not need to complete the Advisory Meeting Confirmation step for their initial Carleton registration. Bracketed text below does not apply to your initial registration but does apply to your subsequent registrations. Note: web registration will not be available during certain hours of the early morning, due to system downtime.

[Proxy Registration. Students on off-campus study who will not have internet access during registration must make arrangements to have a proxy register for them via the following paper process: The proxy meets with the off-campus student's advisor to agree upon a proposed list of courses; the advisor signs a sheet of paper (no special form required) on which these proposed courses are listed; and the proxy brings this sheet to the Registrar's Office during normal business hours, 8-5. If the off-campus student has a 7-9 p.m. priority time, the proxy can come to the Registrar's Office anytime that day, 8-5, to register. If the off-campus student has a 9:01-11 p.m. priority time, the proxy can come to the Registrar's Office anytime the following day, 8-5, to register. Proxy registration can also take place 8-5 any day after the above through 4 p.m. the last day of classes.

Web registration is queued. Your priority times are published in the Schedule of Classes. You cannot register prior to your priority time, but you can create your online “preferred sections” list before then to expedite your registration when your priority time arrives. Although students are expected to register during their published priority times, they are allowed to register and make changes to their registrations via the web from their priority time up until 4:00 p.m. the last day of classes of the term preceeding the term of registration. After that time, neither registrations nor registration changes will be accepted via the web.]

Drop/Add. Subsequent drop/adds or registrations must be submitted to the Registrar's Office on the proper paper forms (available in the Registrar's Office beginning on the first day of classes) within published drop/add deadlines. The normal credit load is 18 credits per term; students are not allowed to drop below 12 credits in any given term.

[Independent study/credit internship. Independent study and credit internship registration is a paper process. You will not be able to register for independent study or credit internships via the web. You must submit your completed independent study forms to the Registrar's Office during normal business hours. 290/390, 291/391, 292/392 for all subjects, as well as BIOL 394, CHEM 394 and PHYS/ASTR 356, are considered independent study and require a paper registration process. Independent study forms are available via the Registration Forms link on the Registrar's home page.]

In the Event of General Registration System Failure If you experience technical difficulties during registration, call SCIC (The Student Computing Center) at X4040. Should general system failure stop your class from registering, you will receive an email from the registrar providing further information about how to proceed.
