Priority Registration for Fall 2021 is March 29-April 1

The purpose of the priority registration period is to let eligible 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 fall 2020 or spring 2021, 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); visit www.usi.edu/graduatestudies or the Graduate Studies office for graduate readmission (812-465-7015). New (incoming) undergraduate students will begin registering for classes after April 5, 2021 as part of Screaming Eagles Orientation. Refer to the New Student Orientation and Registration  section for details.

Eligible students register online via myUSI (my.usi.edu). Priority registration begins at 8 a.m. on Monday, March 29, 2021, 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.

• Eligible students register online, but are urged to first meet with their academic advisor to review their course selection. Contact your advisor to schedule an appointment (subject to availability).
• Many students [degree-seeking undergraduates with less than 30 earned hours (freshmen), students with a GPA less than 2.00, students from certain majors, etc.] 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 hold.
• Degree-seeking undergraduates 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.

Billing

Through TouchNet, students are able to access their billing statement, view up to date account activity, and pay online. Students may also create authorized users who can access their billing statement and payment information. Students and authorized users will receive an email notification that a billing statement is available online. To access TouchNet, log into MyUSI and clilck on the TouchNet app. Students must complete one of the following by the due date:

• Pay amount due: either A) use TouchNet to pay online by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover; a convenience fee of 2.85 percent of the bill will be charged when paying by credit card); B) pay by electronic transfer from a U.S. checking or savings account; or C) remit payment to the Bursar’s Office by cash, check, or money order.
