| FALL 2005
CLASSES BEGIN
ON MONDAY,
AUGUST 29
Registration will be via Web or telephone,
or in your department.
The registration schedule for both Web
and telephone appears on page 5 of the schedule of classes.
Registering via the Web
To register online, you must have
your 9-digit student identification
number and your 6-digit PIN. Simply
log on to the college’s Web site,
access “Online Student Services,” and follow the instructions. Upon
completion of your transaction, you
should view your schedule to ensure
that you have successfully registered
for the appropriate courses.
Registering via the Telephone:
1-718-606-1100
Registering via the Telephone System
You must have a touch-tone phone,
your 9-digit student identification number, and your 6-digit PIN. Simply dial the number and follow the
instructions. We strongly recommend
that you ask to have a copy of your completed transactions faxed to you for your records.
Note: There is a TTY/TDD option on
the phone (a Teletypewriter and Telecommunications device for the deaf).
What about Telephone or Web
Registration Problems? If you experience
any problems with either
Web or telephone registration, please
call the Registrar’s Office at 1-718-
997-4400 for assistance.
Registering via a Department
(For department locations go to the Campus Directory site.
Departments have the option of registering
students into their courses
when deemed necessary. It is particularly
helpful to register through a
department when:
■ you have met the prerequisites
for a course and the information is
not yet noted on your record.
■ a course is closed and you want to
request an overtally.
■ there are restrictions on a course
that you feel you have already met.
What You Should Know First
■ Before attempting to register,
resolve all stops on your registration
by contacting the appropriate office
or department; the Registrar’s Office cannot clear stops placed by other
offices. (Stop codes are listed on the schedule of classes page 6; locations of offices/departments are listed on the inside back cover.)
■ Do not attempt to register before
your appointed time. The computer is
set to adhere to the schedule on page
5 and will not permit you to register
earlier than your assigned time. By attempting to do so, you will interfere with the registration of others.
Undergraduate Credit Load
■ Matriculated students in good
standing may register for up to 18
equated credits. Sophomores, juniors,
and seniors with a GPA of 3.0 or
higher and no unresolved grades of
ABS, PEN, or INC may register for
up to 21 equated credits.
■ Students who do not meet the requirements
for registering for more
than 18 equated credits may request
permission to do so from the Undergraduate Scholastic Standards Committee(Frese Hall 201). Your request
should be submitted no later than 3 days
before your scheduled registration date.
When to Register
■ The period from Monday, April
18, through Wednesday, May 4, has been reserved for students who were in attendance during the Spring 2005 semester. Students who
were not in attendance during the
Spring 2005 semester must seek readmission
through the Admissions Office.
All undergraduate reentering
students may register with their
class, as soon as they are notified of their reentry: matriculants in April, non-degree students in
August.
■ Continuing graduate matriculants
may register at any time during
Fall registration, beginning on
April 18, via Web or telephone, unless their departments require registration through the department
office.
■ Continuing graduate non-matriculants should register on January 4, 2005, via Web or telephone unless otherwise instructed by their departments.
■ New graduate matriculants and
graduate non-matriculants must register
in their department/program office.
Call the department prior to visiting to ensure that an advisor is available to meet with you.
■ All undergraduate students, undergraduate transfer students, non-matriculated
students, and senior citizens will register according to the charts shown on page 5(schedule of classes).
Highlights of the
Registration System
1. Course selection for open sections – those that do not require department
approval or are not closed – should be made via Web or telephone.
If a course you want to take
requires department permission or
is closed, you must go to the department
or program in question in order
to register.
2. Changes in programs – adds
and/or drops – may be made after
your initial registration, unless otherwise
indicated.
3. The “Replace/Take“ Option combines
adds and drops by permitting
you to drop a course, but only if the
course you want to add is available.
Thus, you will not run the risk of
losing a section while attempting to
add another one. Note that only one
replace/take option may be performed
at a time when your courses are
being processed; however, you may
combine this with any number of
regular adds and drops. If you want
to use the replace/take option for
two different sets of courses, you will
have to enter the first set, process
that request, and then enter the second
set.
4. Tuition Payment: Your bill is due
based on the date of your INITIAL
registration via Web or telephone or
through a departmental registration.
The Bursar must receive all payments
by the due date; late payments
will not be accepted, and registration
may be canceled if you do not pay on
time.
5. Pre-registration: Students who
register for selected courses directly
through their department before online
registration begins may continue
with the balance of their registration
online or by phone, in accordance
with the schedule on page 5.
6. Course notations: restrictions on
registration, prerequisites, and corequisites
– are listed in the Schedule
of Classes section. You should be
aware that both restrictions and
corequisites are “hard stops”; that is,
if you do not meet the stated requirements,
you will not be able to
register for the course.
Prerequisites, on the other hand, are
“soft stops.” You will be able to register
for the course, but you may have
to prove to the given department
that you have met the prerequisite.
Common Registration
Problem Messages
Course is closed – There are no
seats available for the section you
requested. You may ask the system
to search for open sections. The
system will guide you through the
instructions.
Course is canceled – The section you
requested has been canceled by the
department. Try another section or
one of your alternate courses.
A time conflict exists – You are not
permitted to register for courses that
meet during overlapping time periods.
Courses whose meeting times
are not at least 5 minutes apart are
conflicts.
You may request permission to take
time-conflict courses by petitioning
the Undergraduate Scholastic Standards
Committee (Frese Hall 201).
Your request should be submitted no later
than 3 days before your scheduled registration
date.
Course (or section) open only to
majors in that department – Only
students with a specified major may
register for the course.
Request takes you over the maximum
credit limit for the semester – The maximum credit limits permitted
without prior approval of the Undergraduate Scholastic Standards Committee are: 18 equated credits
for matriculated undergrads; 13 for
matriculated undergrads on probation;
and 11 for non-matriculated
undergrads.
Course code requires permission of
the department – You must register
for this course in the department office;
not in the Registrar’s Office or
via the Web or telephone.
For additional assistance, please
refer to page 7 for a complete listing
of error messages and restrictions.
PIN Information -
In order to ensure the security of
academic information when registering
online or by phone, all students
must use their student ID number
along with a Personal Identification
Number (PIN). Your PIN is a six digit
number used to access information
online or by phone. It is like a
password that allows entry into the
system.
Initially, your PIN is assigned by the
college, and is the last six digits of
your student ID number. All students
are required to change their college assigned
PIN to their own personalized
6-digit PIN. Save your new PIN
in a secure place to avoid having to
come to the Registrar’s Office in person
to change it. To select a new PIN,
just access the Web or telephone
registration system and follow the
instructions given.
If you lose or forget your PIN, you
must come to the Registrar’s Office
(Jefferson Hall, 1st floor) to have an
existing PIN deleted and a new one
assigned. This process must be done
in person, and you must present
your Queens College ID card.
Scheduling Advisement &
Clearing “Stops” -
Although registration extends into
the evening, the college’s offices are
open only during regular hours.
Therefore, it will be necessary for
you to take care of “stops” and to
deal with departments/offices during
the normal workday. Try to schedule
appointments for departmental advisement
as early as possible.
