Getting Started

In order to register for classes, you must consult your academic advisor first. During your meeting, you and your advisor will discuss your proposed schedule and you will receive a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to enter into eSIS, allowing you to register for your classes. Your PIN will change every semester, so old PINs will not work for the current registration period. 

Scheduling an Appointment

Most advisors will reach out to their advisees via email. If you have not received any communications regarding registration, please reach out to your advisor (their name is visible on your DAR).

What to Bring to a Meeting With Your Advisor

Unless otherwise specified by your advisor, you should have a:

  • A physical or digital copy of your DAR
  • A physical or digital copy of your tentative class schedule

What to Do After Your Advising Appointment

After meeting with your advisor, make sure to enter your registration PIN on eSIS. There is a hold placed on your account that can be resolved by submitting the PIN, allowing you to register for your classes. More information regarding registration PINs can be located here.

If you lose or misplace your registration PIN, contact your advisor.

Make sure that you know when your appointment is and register as early as possible. You are able to register after your specified time, but classes have a higher chance of being full (closed) the longer you wait. 

If you are having trouble registering for your core course requirements, please reach out to your advisor or the Psychological Sciences Department Office. Sometimes seats for these classes are reserved for students within the Psychological Sciences department.
