How and when do I register for a course?

Please note: A student's account must be below $750 to enroll in classes. If you are unable to pay your balance down to below $750, please make an appointment with Student Advocacy to discuss your situation. 

When can I register for courses?

Priority enrollment for currently enrolled students starts at the end of October for spring and summer courses and at the beginning of April for fall courses. Priority is given to those students who have the highest number of credit hours earned as of the day that registration opens. This means that Graduate students will be permitted to register first, followed by seniors (90-124 hours earned), Juniors (60-89 hours earned), Sophomores (30-59 hours earned), and finally freshmen (0-29 hours earned). For credit hours to count towards your class standing, they must be completed and a grade must be posted. In-progress coursework will not be counted when determining how many credit hours you have earned.

To view the full priority enrollment dates and schedule:

• Step 1. Log into UCONNECT.
• Step 2. Locate the Enroll in Classes card.
• Step 3. Click on Enrollment FAQ’s.
• Step 4. Click on Priority Enrollment Dates.

Notes:

• New students, students not currently enrolled in courses but who have completed coursework in the past calendar year, and students who have been readmitted to UCO can begin registering on the date of “Open Enrollment”. See dates on our website.
• New freshmen students will have the opportunity to register for their first semester of courses during New Broncho Orientation.

Notes

• New - Enrollment Changes: Add/Drop without Losing Your Spot - When adding or dropping a class, use the Conditional Add and Drop checkbox. This prevents losing a seat in a course when unable to add another in its place. View a video walkthrough of the process on our website.
• To check if a course has specific pre-requisites and requirements, select the course name for additional details.

Important: Please check for any registration holds prior to registering. Some holds prevent registration and must be cleared with the appropriate office before enrollment is possible. Holds that prevent registration may include pre-requisites, course permissions, test scores, orientation hold, advisement hold and others. If you believe you experienced a hold in error, you can complete the electronic Add/Drop Form. A representative with Broncho OneStop will review the form and complete the process.

Students can also enroll/drop/withdraw in person at Broncho OneStop in the Nigh University Center, Room 124, during business hours: MTRF: 8:30am-5pm, W: 9am-5pm.
