REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNDERGRADUATES


  1. Meet with your adviser and select your courses.  In general, Freshmen and Sophomores may not register for 700-level courses. Students with questions about specific courses should contact your advisor. No graduate credit will be given for 600 or 700-level courses in which Freshmen and Sophomores are enrolled. Undergraduates may register for graduate-level courses only with permission of the Graduate School. It is your responsibility to meet all prerequisites or other requirements for classes.  If you do not meet prerequisites, or if you attempt to register for courses not approved by your adviser, those courses may be deleted from your schedule.
     
  2. Enter your course selections on your Registration Worksheet and have your adviser sign it. List your courses in priority order, with single section courses listed first. Select alternate sections and/or alternate courses in advance to save time while you are registering.
     
  3. Obtain your Registration Access Code (RAC) and your registration time from your adviser.  Your RAC allows you to register during your appointed time and cannot be changed. Undergraduates will be issued a new RAC every semester. If you lose your RAC, contact your adviser or bring a signed Registration Worksheet and your student ID to the Registration Office. RACs are not given out over the telephone.
     
  4. Sign up for any “Department Approval Required” courses in the department office (you must register for these courses via blackboard.unh.edu after signing up in the department office). Obtain permission slips for any “Permission Required” courses from the instructor of the course; then go to the department office before you register for the course on blackboard.unh.edu.
     
  5. Login to blackboard.unh.edu before your window opens to make sure your account is active and to make sure there are no holds on your account that would prevent registration.  To check for holds:
    1. Select Webcat/Services tab
    2. Select Student Services and Financial Aid
    3. Select Student Records
    4. Select View Holds
  6. Register after your “First Time to Register” (this information is on your RAC notice). When you register, you should use the information on the worksheet and follow the instructions to complete your registration.

    Please note the following:
