Registration Appointments (Email from Registrar)

You should have received the following email from the Registrar within the last 24 hours. Please be sure to look over this information carefully as it pertains to your responsibilies in scheduling Winter Quarter courses. First-year students: We'll talk more about this in the next few weeks. Most first-year students will begin scheduling classes on November 10.

Winter Term 2010 registration starts on October 19th. Beginning the evening of October 14th -- Open “My Student Center” on www.Buckeyelink.osu.edu to find your enrollment appointment for Winter 2010. Please save, safeguard this e-mail and PLAN AHEAD!

NOTE: If you receive the message "No Valid Appointment Found" when attempting to register, this means an enrollment appointment has not been assigned to you and you must contact your college office for assistance.

Steps to Registration:
1. Winter Term 2010 SCHEDULE OF CLASSES. For "up-to-the-minute" information regarding Winter Term 2010 course offerings, check out the web at: http://buckeyelink.osu.edu. Scroll down and under the Academics heading you will find the Schedule of Classes (Master Schedule) where you can search for courses offered each term. The icon by each course section will tell you if seats are available in that section.

2. ADVISING. If you need to see an advisor or faculty member for counseling before you register for classes, you should do so before your Enrollment Appointment begins.

3. PERMISSIONS. If permission is required for a course, make sure you secure permission before you try to register. You will need to see your advisor or College Office after your enrollment appointment opens to post the permission as they schedule the course for you. Remember: getting permission to enroll in a class does not guarantee a seat in the class -- you still must register for the course during your enrollment appointment in your College Office -- the earlier the better.

4. PREREQUISITES. Also check to see if you meet all the prerequisite requirements for your course selections before you register.

5. HOLDS. If you have a hold on your account, you need to have the hold cleared 2 business days before your enrollment appointment begins, otherwise, your registration will be blocked. Not all negative service indicators are holds that will keep you from registering. Please check the details link to see what the service indicator affects.

6. ALTERNATES. Have several alternate courses already picked before you visit the web - just in case your first choice is not available.

7. WAIT-LIST REQUESTS. Wait list requests do not carry over from one term to the next. If you are put on a wait-list as you schedule for Winter Quarter 2010, you may be scheduled into the class as positions open up until the first Friday of Winter Term. Check your schedule regularly in “My Student Center” to see if you have been put into the class.

8. TO SCHEDULE. Go to http://buckeyelink.osu.edu and open “My Student Center” and follow the prompts to add classes.
