I would like to take a class at the University.  Do I need to be admitted?
If you want to take a credited class, either for a grade or audit, you must be admitted through the Admissions Office. If the course is a non-credit class, contact Continuing Education for assistance.

LOGGING IN

How do I get my uNID?
When you are admitted to the university, an acceptance letter from the Admissions Office is sent with the uNID included. If you have lost, or have not received your acceptance letter, then you may look up your uNID online. Go to the Campus Information System and click on the Forgot your uNID? link under the sign on. You will be required to verify your last name, date of birth, and social security number.

My password doesn't work.  What can I do?
Verify that you are typing the correct password and you are logging into the Campus Information System.  Passwords are case sensitive. If you are still unable to login you may reset your password online through the Campus Information System or in person with picture ID at the Registration/Records service window. 

My son/daughter is out of the country.  Can I reset their password?
You must have a signed release from your child stating they give your permission to reset their password.  Bring the release to the Registration Service window (Student Services Building, 2nd floor, window 13) with a picture ID during regular office hours for assistance. If you are unable to obtain a release from the student, he/she must contact us directly.  

ADDING CLASSES

I am a newly admitted student.  Do I need to do anything before registering for classes?
All new matriculated undergraduate students are required to attend an orientation prior to registering for classes. Transfer students must also meet with an advisor before they are eligible to enroll.  Non-matriculated students are not required to attend orientation; however, they cannot enroll in classes until Open Enrollment. Graduate students also are not required to attend orientation; however they may register during their assigned personal appointment.

What is a “personal appointment”?
Your personal appointment is the date and time that you may begin to register for classes. This is determined by your academic level and the number of hours you have completed at the University.

How do I obtain a permission code?
Contact the instructor of your course.  He/she should have permission codes to distribute to students. Some departments allow their office staff to issue permission codes in addition to or in place of the instructor.

What is an audit and how do I audit a class?
An audit is enrollment in a course for information only. Normal tuition is assessed; however, no credit is given.  An audit grade can be elected in credit courses when a class is not offered for noncredit and no grade is desired. Audited courses are marked with a “V” grade, meaning visitor. Participation in class is not required.  Contact the Registration Division to audit a class.

An international student may audit any class; however, these hours will not count towards the minimum number of credit hours required by the immigration regulations for maintaining lawful full time status. 

How many credits can I take in a semester?
There are no restrictions on the number of credit hours undergraduates can enroll in during a given term; however, the Campus Information System limits registration to 18 credit hours until the open enrollment period begins.  During the open enrollment period undergraduate students can register online for up to 24 credit hours.  To register for more than 24 credit hours, contact the Registration Division.

Graduate students may only register for up to 16 credit hours online.  Enrollment for more than 16 hours may be added through Registration with approval from the Graduate School.

How do I add a class past the add deadline?
After the last day to add classes, all permission codes are invalid for classes that have all ready begun. You must obtain a form from the registration office and follow their instructions before the class will be added.

I am a senior citizen.  Can I take classes through the University?
Utah residents 62 years and older are eligible to register for credit classes at the University through the House Bill 60 Program. Classes are audited for a fee of $25 per term plus any special fees attached to the class. You must be 62 prior to the first day of the term. See Academic Outreach and Continuing Education for more information.

Why do I need a permission number?
The reasons you may need a permission number include, but are not limited to: if the class is full, outside your major field of study, a graduate level course, or if the department requires all students to contact the professor prior to registering for the course.  Permission numbers are also required for all courses beginning the second week of the term.

How do I add my class using a permission code?
Beginning the second week of the term, you may add the class online through the Campus Information System. Click on “Add Class;” choose to add either by “class number” or “class schedule” and select the course. At this point you should be able to enter your permission code in the red “Permission Code” bar.  If the Permission Code bar is unavailable, call Registration at 581-8969 for assistance.

Can I pick up an add slip?
Students should register for courses through the Campus Information System during the first two weeks of the semester.  A late add form is required beginning the third week of the term.  Students may obtain a late add form at the Registration window in the Student Services Building (Second floor, window 13).

My son/daughter is on a mission can I add his/her classes?
You need a signed release from your child in order to add classes on his/her behalf.  The release must clearly state that you have the authorization to register your child for courses.  Bring the written statement with your picture ID to the Registration window for assistance. 

Can I get double credit if I repeat a class?
Many classes at the University are not repeatable for credit.  To determine if a course is repeatable for credit contact the department offering the course.

Can I retake a course to receive a better grade?
You are able to retake a course as long as the course is still offered at the University.  You must submit a Repeated Class Notification to the Registrar’s Office once the second course is complete.  The first grade will show on your transcript; however it will not be calculated into your GPA.  If you take a class three times or more you are subject to repeated course fees. 

DROPPING/WITHDRAWING

I know it is past the drop deadline can I still drop a class?
You are allowed to withdraw from courses until the midpoint of the term.  This may be done by selecting to drop a class through the Campus Information System. A "W" grade is recorded on your transcript and appropriate tuition and fees are assessed.

Why did I receive a “W” when I selected the drop link?
You may drop full semester length courses through the 10th day of the term.  After that point, you are allowed to withdraw from classes for circumstances beyond your control.  A “W” does not affect your GPA. It signifies that you registered and then withdrew from the class.

If I withdraw from a class can I repeat it later and have the “W” taken off my transcript?
The “W” will remain on your transcript even if you repeat the course.

How do I get a “W” off my records?
You may file a Petition for Consideration of Exception to Policy with the Registrar’s Office.  Requests to delete a "W" are not approved unless you provide documentation that University administrative actions are the cause for your withdrawal. 

UPDATING PERSONAL DATA

How do I change my major?
Students should contact their academic department to declare or change a major.   Some departments may require additional preparation or procedures (application, interview, audition, or portfolio) before a student is admitted to a major.

Why do I have a hold on my record?
Holds may be placed on your record for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: financial debt, missing immunization records, parking tickets, or missing admissions credentials. You may view your hold(s) through the Campus Information System by selecting “View Holds.”  Contact the appropriate agency to determine how to remove your hold. 

How can I change my name on the University records?
Submit a completed “Change of Personal Information Form ” to the Registration & Records Division in person, by mail, or by fax. Note: Current employees must change their names through their payroll officer.

How can I remove my information from the Student Directory?
You can restrict other parties from viewing your personal information by logging into the Campus Information System and selecting "change release authorization" under "student records."  You may also complete the form to restrict information at the Registration division, Student Services Building, second floor. Additional information regarding Student Privacy Rights is available online.
