I. ADVISEMENT (Matriculated (degree-seeking) Undergraduate students)
Prior to developing your schedule for the semester:
- Print a copy of your College Progress Report from my.newpaltz.edu. This document tells you what general education requirements remain, as well as the total, upper division and liberal arts credits completed to date.
- If you have a declared major, review the degree requirements listed on the departmental Web site or get an updated copy of your major plan from your major department.
- Review these documents to determine which requirements remain.
- 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 in advance of your registration day and time. Your advisor will review your selections and give you an ARN (Advisor Release Number). The ARN signifies you have met with your advisor and is needed to register online.
- In some cases it will be necessary for you to obtain the permission of the instructor or department chair (please contact department for the electronic permission)
NOTE: UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS MAY NOT REGISTER FOR MORE THAN 19 CREDITS. In certain circumstances permission may be granted by the appropriate dean and chair of the student's major. An Excess Credit Form is required. Students with undeclared majors need the permission of the Dean of Student Advising (OM 127). If your cumulative GPA is 3.0 or greater, your credit limit is 20 credits, however you must contact Records and Registration to have your credit limit increased to 20.

III. REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
WHO MAY REGISTER??
Only students eligible to register may use Web Registration to Advance Register. For example: Students currently registered or enrolled within the past two years. This does not include students whose enrollment status precludes continued enrollment, who are academically ineligible, officially withdrawn students or students dismissed from college. Students whose records are encumbered with institutional "HOLD(s)" placed by one or more University offices must report to the office that placed the hold and have the hold released. If this is not accomplished before advance registration, registration will not be possible.
Therefore, it is best to take care of business and resolve the office HOLD(S). During advance registration periods, lines are usually very long at offices that place and remove holds. It is best not to wait until your scheduled registration day to clear a hold.
Undergraduate students use Web Registration on a seniority basis, by academic classification or student level (senior, junior, sophomore, freshman).
WHERE/WHEN??
From anywhere you have Web access.
HOW??
If you need assistance with registration, you can call the Registrar's Office (845) 257-3100 during regular office hours Monday-Friday.
REMEMBER: MATRICULATED UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS MAY NOT REGISTER BEFORE THEIR ASSIGNED TIME.
