OPEN REGISTRATION FOR TAMU SUMMER AND FALL CLASSES


REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER AND FALL CLASSES - The regular registration period is now open, students will be able to register for session classes through the second day of each summer term (SS1, 10-week and SS2) and through the fifth day of the fall semester.

LAB SAFETY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - please remember that for any semester in which you want to register for a laboratory science course you must first complete the Lab Safety Acknowledgement. You can find this on your HOWDY Portal.

CLASSES FULL, UNABLE TO REGISTER - General Studies advisors are unable to force register students for any classes. Only the departments that create the course have force authority. However, at this point, most departments will not force students into classes. This is especially true for lab classes that are limited by the number of lab stations in the lab classroom where they are to take place.

HOLDS - Check your account for holds. Not all holds will prevent you from registering.

COURSE RESTRICTIONS - Make sure you qualify to be enrolled in a course or a specific course section. For example, any fall semester course section in the 200 range is limited to honors students. Other common restrictions limit a course or course section to a particular group or classifications (freshmen. sophomores, juniors and/or seniors) Click on the colored "Restrictions" label that is just under the course listing to make sure you can register for the course.


If you still have difficulty, TAP/'General Studies advisors are available throughout the summer. Walk-in advising will be available from May 18 through September 5. Advising will not be available during days when Blinn Advising Days or New Student Conferences are taking place. Call ahead to be sure you will be able to see an advisor.
