Registration Instructions

Please allow the Registration Dashboard to guide you through Pre-Registration and Registration.

BEFORE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REGISTER two things are required:

1. Using the Registration Dashboard, complete Pre-Registration.
2. Advisor Authorization: Select your courses, then schedule schedule an in-person appointment with your advisor (bring your laptop) prior to your registration date to receive advisor authorization and to plan for the following semester.
   • Your advisor’s name and email are displayed in the Registration Dashboard. 

Once these two steps are complete, you will be able to use the Registration Dashboard on your own! 

PRE-REGISTRATION: This tab will take you to Traditional Undergraduate Program Pre-registration. Click the “Pre-Register Now” button. Once pre-registration is complete, you will be brought back to the Dashboard.

Complete/verify the information on each page. On the “Sign & Confirm” page, sign your name using your Self-Service username and password. Once you select “Sign and Submit,” a message will say “Your Pre-Registration is Complete” You will not be allowed to register until you have completed Pre-Registration.

COURSE SELECTION: This tab will allow you to search for and select courses. Click “Finalize Registration” to move to the Registration tab (available when registration is open).

Adding classes: search for a class and click the “Add” button on the right. This will move the class to your cart. You will be able to see which courses are in your cart and which courses you have already registered for. You will officially register on the Registration tab. Click “Finalize Registration” once you have selected all your courses. This will take you to the Registration tab.

Waitlist: If a class is full, click “Join waitlist” to add the course to your cart. The Registration tab will confirm if you are on the waitlist. If a seat becomes available, you will receive an email notifying you of the open seat. You must respond to that email by 4pm the following day to confirm that you still want to add the class. You will not be added unless you respond to the email by the deadline. If you miss the deadline, you will be automatically dropped. You can re-add yourself to the waitlist.

Unit changes: To change units for a course, add the course, then fill out an add/drop form, specifying the number of units you want to earn. The form will need to be signed by you and the instructor, then submitted to the Registrar’s Office.

Audits: To audit a course, add the course, then fill out an add/drop form, specifying “audit” in the change column. The form will need to be signed by you and the instructor, then submitted to the Registrar’s Office. If you are registered in less than 12 units, you will pay a $50/unit fee prior to registering.

Directed Studies: A Directed Study involves a contract that requires signatures. Click on “Directed Studies Request” on the Next Steps tab to begin a Directed Study contract. This process will require signatures from the Professor, Department Chair, and Student Accounts. Return the completed form to the Registrar’s Office where the course will be added to your schedule.

Note:  If a course is in your cart, it will no longer show in the search.

“Show Online Degree Program Courses”: “OLP” courses are not intended for Traditional Students. It is advised that you speak with your advisor, Student Accounts, Financial Aid, and the Registrar’s Office prior to adding OLP courses so that you are aware of the policy differences.

REGISTRATION: This tab will allow you to officially register for classes. Check the boxes of the classes you want to add, then click, “Register Selected Courses”. Or check the boxes of the classes you want to remove from your cart and click, “Remove from cart”.

Dropping courses: check the box next to the class you want to drop and click, “Drop Selected Courses”.

Adding more courses: To add more courses, go back to the Course Selection tab.

Schedule: View and print your schedule here.

Messages: This tab will inform you if your registration is not open yet, if you still need advisor authorization, if you have a STOP, or any other reason that might keep you from registering.

NEXT STEPS: This tab provides additional information that may be useful to the registration process, including actions you need to attend to.

STOPS: If you have a STOP on your account, you will not be able to register. The Registration Dashboard will inform you of any STOPs.

ATHLETES: To drop below 12 units, submit an add/drop form signed by Dr. Wayne Rasmussen, the Faculty Athletic Representative, to the Registrar’s Office.

Taking an informed approach to registration:

Your advisor is available to assist with registration, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you understand and complete your graduation requirements, including your general education and major coursework requirements as stipulated in the Academic Catalog (available at masters.edu/catalog).

Non-Returning Students: If you decide not to attend The Master’s University in the upcoming Spring/Fall term please notify the Admissions Office or contact at or 661-362-2363.
