Registration Checklist
Prior to your assigned registration day:
- Print a copy of your College Progress Report from my.newpaltz.edu. This document tells you what general education requirements remain to be completed, as well as the total upper division and liberal arts credits completed to date. (Will be available by October 22nd.)
- If you have a declared major, review the degree requirements listed on the departmental Web site or in the online catalog at www.newpaltz.edu/ugc/programs.html. Or, get an updated copy of your major plan from your major department.
- Look at the relevant Schedule of Classes. You can access the schedule at www.newpaltz.edu/classes.
- Make a draft schedule, with alternates, based on what you need and what is being offered.
- Be careful not to schedule time conflicts for lecture, lab or discussion sections. Be sure to read all footnotes or prerequisites applicable to the section of courses you select.
- Make an appointment with your academic advisor. Take your draft schedule and Progress Report with you when you meet with your advisor. Your advisor will review your selections and give you a Registration Pin. The Pin signifies you have met with your advisor and is needed to register online. If you need to register in person, you will need to obtain a signed registration form.
- In some cases it will be necessary for you to obtain the permission of the instructor or department chair. Contact the Chair prior to Advanced Registration to ensure the necessary approvals are received.
NOTE: UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS MAY NOT REGISTER FOR MORE THAN 18 CREDITS. In certain circumstances the appropriate dean and chair of the student's major may grant permission. An Excess Credit Form is required. Students with undeclared majors need the permission of the Dean of Academic Advising (WSB 03D).
