Overview
Priority registration takes place over several days during which students are eligible to begin registering for classes for the upcoming term.
- Students are assigned a single, prioritized registration window based on their class level and total earned credits, including transfer credits.
- Undergraduate and postbacc students can register for up to 19 credits as soon as their registration window opens.
- Waitlist access is available from the start of registration.
Summer term: There is no priority registration and advising hold for summer term. Registration for summer term begins at 8:00 AM on the same day for all students. Check the Academic Calendar for key registration dates and deadlines.

Holds: If you have a hold which prevents registration, you must first take the steps necessary to clear the hold before you can register.
Advising registration hold
- All degree-seeking undergraduates (including postbaccs) will receive an advising registration hold. The hold requires students to meet with their advisor before registering for classes.
- The advising registration hold will be placed on your student account by Week 3 of every term, if applicable for your college.
- Your advisor is responsible for lifting the hold during your advising appointment. Contact or meet with an academic advisor to finalize your class schedule and to have your advising hold lifted.
- Your assigned registration time for the upcoming term only works if your hold has been lifted by that time.
Graduate students and non-degree (campus-based) students are not required to have an advising registration hold.
Non-degree online students with Ecampus need to complete the Nondegree Online Orientation. After you complete the orientation, you can register for courses. For more information, visit the Ecampus Non-degree Getting Started Guide, or contact Ecampus Student Services at [email protected] or 541-737-9204, option #1.
Newly-admitted students must participate in a new student onboarding session and meet with an advisor before registering for classes. Visit the Office of New Student Onboarding for details about the new student onboarding experience. When you connect with your advisor, they will lift the advising hold, allowing you to register for classes.
Beaver Hub access: If you are not currently able to access Beaver Hub, please review the eligibility requirements for student access.
