First Things First

• Your yellow web-registration card will be in your student mailbox on April 5, 2012.
• Locate the names of your current advisors on your yellow web-reg card.
• Read the online web-registration information.

• Check Degree Audit on portal at https://portal64.hmc.edu for requirements that need to be completed.
• Check HMC transcript for accuracy and completeness in preparation for graduation and job/graduate school applications.
• Check with your HSA advisor about your HSA graduation requirements.
• Plan when you will take all needed courses for graduation – you need at least 128.0 units completed to graduate.

• Beginning Fall 2010, PE courses are now worth 1 unit of credit per class (not to exceed 3 credits), but will not be included in your academic overload consideration.
• Have you completed your three PE requirements?
• Are necessary major seminars/colloquiums included?
  Beginning Fall 2010, colloquium courses are now worth 0.5 units of credit (not to exceed a maximum of 2.0 credits), but will not be included in your academic overload consideration.
• You must have at least 12 units to be a full-time student.
• Consider alternate electives, in case your first choices become full/closed.

Web-Registration

• Look at the Web-Registration overview, schedule and instructions on the Registrar's website
• Look up your web-registration appointment time. It is on your yellow web-registration card and on the Registrar's website. You will have portal web-registration access  for a 24 period beginning at your appointed registration time. After that, come to the Registrar's Office for continued registration. After the formal registration period is over, the portal will open again to all 5-C students for add/drop for Fall courses.
• Use the Course Registration features to look up courses so you will be familiar with the portal features before your pre-registration access starts.
• Be sure to get your web-registration clearance well before your web-registration start time.
• Contact the HELP Desk or the Office of the Registrar if you have problems with portal web-registration.

Decide on Courses for Fall 2012

• Have your advisors approve your courses/alternates and sign the web-reg card.
• Obtain signatures for independent study, directed reading,  and research classes using the blue Independent Study/Directed Reading/Research approval form available at the Registrar's office.
• Obtain instructor permission using the PERMission system on the Student Portal for any of your classes that require it.
• Obtain instructor signatures on a Class Conflict Approval Form if any class has a time conflict with another class.
• Arrange for overload approval with Dean Jacobsen if needed. Ordinarily, a student must have a 3.00 semester GPA the preceding semester to be eligible for an overload.

Last But Not Least
Is the information on your yellow web-reg card complete?

• Course numbers complete with section/college indicated (i.e., BIOL052 HM 02).
• Course titles as complete as possible plus days and times listed.
• Do you have all the required PERMissions?
• Is the information on the web-registration card legible?
• Once you have obtained your advisors' approvals, take your pre-registration card (and approval forms, if needed) to the Office of the Registrar prior to your web pre-registration start time to receive web-registration clearance. You will be given a copy of your yellow web-registration card which you will use to pre-register for courses during your 24 hour web-registration window. Don't wait until the last minute. You can get your registration clearance after your advisors have signed your web-registration cards.
  If you have any questions regarding web-registration, web-registration clearance or PERMissions, please feel free to contact the Office of the Registrar.
