 BEFORE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REGISTER two things are required:

  1. Using the Dashboard, complete Pre-Registration.
  2. Advisor authorization: Select your courses, then schedule an appointment to meet with your advisor (bring your laptop). They will give you advisor authorization and will work with you to complete the registration process.
  • Once these two steps are complete, you will be able to use the Registration Dashboard on your own! (Athletes, see the note below).
Note:

STOPS: If you have a STOP on your account, you will not be able to register. The Dashboard will inform you of any STOPs.

ATHLETES:To drop classes, submit an add/drop form signed by Nate Wright, the Faculty Athletic Representative, to the Registrar’s Office.

Non-Returning Students: If you decide not to attend The Master’s University in Spring 2020 please notify Admissions.

Taking an informed approach to registration: Your advisor will assist with registration, but it is your responsibility to ensure that you understand, and complete your graduation requirements, including your general education and major coursework requirements as stipulated in the Academic Catalog.

 Please allow the Registration Dashboard to guide you through Pre-Registration and Registration at The Master’s University.

PRE-REGISTRATION: This tab will take you to Traditional Undergraduate Program Pre-registration. Click, the “Pre-Register Now” button. Once pre-registration is complete, you will be brought back to the Dashboard.

  • Complete/verify the information on each page. On the “Sign & Confirm” page, sign your name using your Self-Service username and password. Once you select “Sign and Submit,” a “Congratulations” message will appear indicating that the process is complete. You will not be allowed to register until you have completed this step. 
  • Note:  the “Congratulations” message will remain once pre-registration is complete. If you go into pre-registration again and do not see the “Congratulations” message, this indicates that the process is not complete.

Waitlist: If a class is full, click “Waitlist” to add yourself to the waitlist. The Registration tab will confirm if you are on the waitlist. If a seat becomes available, you will receive an email notifying you of the open seat. You must respond to that email by 5pm the following day to confirm that you still want to add the class. You will not be added unless you respond to the email by the deadline. If you miss the deadline, you will be automatically dropped. You can re-add yourself to the waitlist.

  • How else can I get into the class?The Registrar’s Office will add you to the class if you obtain the professor’s signature on an add/drop form (available on the Student Portal). Submit the form to the Registrar’s Office.

Unit changes: To change units for a course, add the course, then fill out an add/drop form (available on the Student Portal), specifying the number of units you want to earn. The form will need to be signed by you and the instructor, then submitted to the Registrar’s Office.

This process will also automatically request signatures from the Professor, Department Chair, Student Accounts and The Registrar's Office. Once all parties have signed, the Registrar's Office will add the course to your schedule. As long as you have requested the DS by the deadline and do not have a STOP on your account, the DS will be added to your schedule. You will be notified by email if there are any issues.

FAQ: 

Help, I can't register for classes! Before you can add classes: 
  1. Make sure that there are no stops on your account. All stops need to be removed before you can add or drop classes.
  2. Your major advisor must authorize you to register. If you are undeclared, please notify the Registrar's Office (Registrar@masters.edu). The Registrar is your advisor until you declare a major.
  3. You must complete pre-registration. Most often, this is the reason students can't register. Try again, and refer to the examples below of what incomplete  and complete pre-registration looks like:
