Advising

In order to register, you must first be advised by your faculty adviser. Your faculty adviser will assist you in filling out an advising form during your advising session with them, which will include your name, EID, and the courses you have been advised to take for the following semester. You must then turn the completed and signed form in to SZB 504, and the EDP registration staff person, Kim Cates, will remove your advising bar and may contact you with follow-up questions. Note: all students MUST go over their Program of Work with the faculty adviser during this advising session. 

Registration Bars

Students must clear any other bars that may prevent timely registration, such as owing money for library books, money to the health center, etc. Any registration bars will be listed on UT Direct. Financial bars, in many cases, may be cleared by making payment online (What I Owe). For non-financial bars, you must contact the department listed on the bar details to have it cleared. Your emergency contact information in UT Direct must also be updated annually, as failure to do so may result in a registration bar from UT. 

Registration

You will register for each semester and summer session online through the Registrar’s online services. EDP students should be advised and register early, as courses can fill and delaying advising/registration may limit your ability to add the courses you need. You must also register as soon as possible to ensure your course is not cancelled due to low enrollment; late registration can also affect your instructor’s ability to obtain a TA for the course, as TA eligibility is based on the number of students registered for a course by a particular deadline. Do  Do not register for classes that are not on your advising form - if you wish to make a change to your advised class schedule, contact the EDP registration staff person, Kim Cates.

Late Registration

Late registration is a serious matter. Because there are increasing budgetary issues, and because UT receives no funding and supervising faculty receive no credit for students who register after the 12th class day, students pay increasingly higher late registration fees, and the amount of paperwork (and legwork) needed to register late escalates quickly.  The Dean of the Office of Graduate Studies will not grant petitions for waivers of late registration fees.
