Register for Classes

Priority Registration: Current Students

Only UAS degree-seeking students may register for classes during the priority registration period. Space in classes cannot be held for non-degree seeking, UAF, or UAA students during priority registration.

Open Registration: All Students

Registering for Classes After the First Day of Instruction

If the class has already started students will need the instructor's approval.  Once the approval is obtained, the instructor can either enter an override in UAOnline so the student can register online or sign a Course Registration or Course Add/Drop/Change form.

Schedule Planner

The University of Alaska system provides a tool called "Schedule Planner" that can help you generate your schedule around your desired courses and break schedule. Schedule Planner is available to all students.

Getting Started with Class Registration

In order to register for a class, students will need to make sure they meet the prerequisites. More information on prerequisites along, with other registration process concepts, is available on the Registration Terminology page.

Common Registration Errors

• Corequisite required: Register for both corequisite classes at the same time. Go to the Add/Drop/Withdraw classes page, enter the CRNs for both of the required courses and hit "Complete Registration Changes."
• Department approval: Registration is limited to students who have departmental approval. Contact the department to request an override.
• Duplicate CRN: Already registered for another section of the course. In most cases, simultaneous registration in two or more sections of the same course is not allowed.
• Instructor approval: Registration is restricted to students who have instructor approval. Contact the instructor to request an override.
• Level restriction: Registration is restricted to students in a particular level (for example, graduate or Junior or Senior sanding). Click on the CRN to see level restriction information.
