Priority Registration

How Do I View My Registration Date and Time?

To view your assigned registration date and time, log in to MyOregonState, click on the Academics tab. Under Resources select Check Your Registration Status. Registration status and times will be available approximately two weeks before registration begins. If you have a hold which prevents registration, you must first take the steps necessary to clear the hold before you can register.

Registration PIN

All degree-seeking undergraduates (include postbaccs) must have a Registration PIN (Personal Identification Number) to register for classes. Registration PINs are provided by colleges at the time of advising. Graduate students and non-degree students are not required to have registration PINs.

Priority Registration Phases

Registration has two phases. Students may register during their assigned time for that phase or at any later time.

Here is how it works for undergraduates:

Phase 1 allows registration in a maximum of 16 credits. No wait listing of classes is allowed.
Phase 2 allows registration in a maximum of 19 credits plus a maximum of three wait listed classes.

Graduate and professional students will be able to register at the beginning of priority registration.
Post-Baccalaureate students will be able to register after undergraduate seniors.
Athletes and Honors College students are provided with priority time slots to accommodate their special scheduling needs.
Veterans who submit appropriate documentation are eligible for priority registration. Visit the Veteran Priority Registration page for more information.

Week 4	At the end of Week 4, advisors are notified that PINs and registration times are finalized.
Weeks 5–7	Advisors meet with students to distribute PINs and plan registration schedules.
