Registration FAQ: HHP Advising

Registration FAQ

What is the registration process?

First, you will refer to your check sheet/4 year plan and determine which courses you want to take next.
Next, schedule an advising appointment with your advisor.
During your advising appointment, you will discuss classes you need to move toward declaring your major and graduation. You will receive your registration code from your advisor, and please note that your registration code changes each semester! You should also discuss classes needed to get into certain graduate programs if that is your destination.

What do I need to bring to the advising appointment that I schedule with my advisor?

Bring your major check sheet/4 year plan. Use this sheet to mark off classes you have taken and are currently taking, as well as, to decide what classes you want to take in the future. Also bring a list of classes you would like to take for the next term.

How may I register?

Registration is done online only, using OneStop to access Banner Self Service. Students will need to use their 6-digit registration code to access the registration drop/add window in Banner.

When may I register?

The Registrar’s Office provides a schedule that shows what day and time you can register based on how many credits you have successfully completed, which does not include the courses you are currently taking. Click here for this schedule: http://www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/registrar/RegSched.cfm.

When do I register for summer classes?

I’m having trouble registering for a class, who do I contact?

If you have difficulty registering for EXSS, HLTH, ATEP and RCLS/RCTX courses, contact your advisor. Please include your name, BANNER ID, the CRNs of the sections you are having difficulty with, and the registration error message you are getting in your email and your advisor will try to help you as soon as possible.
If you are having difficulty registering for courses other than EXSS, HLTH, ATEP and RCLS/RCTX, you must contact those departments for assistance as only they can override and make decisions about their courses.

I have a HOLD on my account, what do I do?

First, view holds in Banner under your Student Records.
Next, contact the appropriate department to take care of it. Contact the Advising Center for department contact info if it is not listed. NOTE that no one, not even your advisor, can make adjustments to your schedule until all holds have been taken care of and removed from your record.

What do I do if a class is closed?

NO department will special add students to a closed class during pre-registration! Choose an alternative class. PLEASE NOTE students will be changing their schedules throughout the semester. Keep checking online in Banner to see if something opens.
Several classes may open at the following times:
- After grades and standings are processed by the Registrar’s Office, students who have been suspended for the following semester will be dropped from their schedule. Courses will likely open up.
- After tuition/fees are due are due for the upcoming semester, students will unpaid balances left on their accounts will be dropped from their schedule. Courses will likely open up.

How do I request special permission to be added to a course?

This is ONLY for extreme circumstances when alternative courses are unavailable.
To obtain special permission, students must email the instructor to inquire about being added. Please include your name, BANNER ID, course name/section #, and the CRN # for the section you would like to be added to in your email. If the instructor replies back saying it is okay for you to be added, forward this response to your advisor to be added. NOTE that you may be told to contact the department for this approval (please see above for contact info).

How do I register for a lab or co-requisite course?

To register for a lab or co-requisite course, you must register for both courses simultaneously to avoid getting a banner error. There are several ways to do this:
- In the “Add Classes Worksheet” enter in the CRNs for both courses, then press “submit changes” to register.
- When looking up courses, click “add to worksheet” versus “register” until both CRNs are listed in the “Add Classes Worksheet.” Press “submit changes” to register.
- When looking up courses, type in the course number partially so that what you have entered is the same for both the course and the lab (example: for CHEM 1150 and 1151, type in 115 for the course number). This will search for both the course and the lab. Register for both courses.

May I take summer classes at another school and transfer them to ECU?

Yes, but under certain guidelines:
- a) Must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA at ECU.
- b) You cannot grade replace a course or retake a course you failed at ECU at another school.
- c) Approval will not be granted if the student is ineligible to return to ECU due to disciplinary problems.
- d) Permission must be acquired from the Registrar’s Office, and you must see your advisor to start this approval process.
- e) Turn in the transcripts of the completed course to the Registrar’s Office immediately after completing the course. Courses in which a grade of D or F was awarded will not transfer back to ECU. Grades (and quality points) do not transfer, only credits.
