Priority Registration for Spring and Summer 2015 is November 3-14

The purpose of the priority registration period is to let continuing and readmission students select courses prior to the beginning of the term. Once you complete priority registration, you will have reserved space in the classes for which you have registered. If you were not enrolled in spring 2014 or fall 2014, but have been enrolled previously, visit www.usi.edu/registrar or the Registrar’s Office for undergraduate readmission (812-465-1157 or 800-467-1965, option #3). New (incoming) undergraduate students are not eligible for priority registration and must participate in Orientation prior to advising and registration; refer to the New Student Orientation and Registration section for details.

Eligible continuing and readmission students register online via myUSI (my.usi.edu). Priority registration begins at 8 a.m. on Monday, November 3, 2014, and progresses according to the schedule below. Students register according to the total of their earned plus currently enrolled hours, and are encouraged to register on their first day of eligibility.

• All continuing and readmission students are eligible to register online, but are urged to first meet with their academic advisor to review their course selection prior to registering. Contact your advisor to schedule an appointment (subject to availability).
• Degree-seeking undergraduate students with less than 30 earned hours (freshmen) will have a registration hold placed on their record, and will be eligible for registration only after meeting with their academic advisor to review their course selection and remove the registration hold.
• Degree-seeking undergraduates who began at USI in summer 1995 or later should review their degree audit (through myUSI) prior to registration to check their progress toward degree completion and verify acceptable course options.

Login instructions and details about some of the myUSI menu options and functions used for registration, and an overview of myUSI, can be found in the Online Registration section.

If you cannot register on the assigned day, you may do so on any of the subsequent days.
New freshmen and transfer students register after completing Orientation.
High School Agreement students register during Open Registration.

Extended Period of Registration; Schedule Revisions and Withdrawals

If you need to make changes to your priority registration schedule of classes, you can do so online through myUSI during the dates listed in the Registration Calendar (refer to the Online Registration section for web processing details). You also may do so in person at the Registrar’s Office during normal office hours. A 100 percent credit is given for dropped courses.

Open Registration is the final opportunity to enroll prior to the beginning of the term. A variety of course lengths may be offered during the summer. Even if a course has a delayed start date, students must register no later than that summer session’s open registration date in order to avoid a late registration fee. Any registration that takes place after Open Registration is considered a Late Registration and will incur a late registration fee ($35 or $125; see below).

Late Registration for Summer 2015

It is strongly recommended that you register during the published dates of priority registration or no later than open registration. However, if extenuating circumstances prevent you from doing so, you may be allowed to register during the dates listed below. Students should first meet with their academic advisor (subject to availability), then log on to myUSI to register for classes.

Students allowed to late register during the first two days of a summer session will be assessed a $35 late registration fee.

Only in exceptional circumstances will you be allowed to late register after the above dates. Any registration taking place after the first two days of a summer session (even if the course has a delayed start date) requires the completion of a late registration form (with signatures) and will incur a $125 late registration fee.
