Priority Registration for Fall 2022 is March 28-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 2021 or spring 2022, 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 must participate in Screaming Eagles Orientation prior to advising and registration; 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 28, 2022, 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.

If you’re unable to meet during regular office hours, please inquire about alternative advising options. Once advised, log on to myUSI to register for classes.

• If you anticipate receiving financial assistance to cover your fees, please register several days before the term’s billing date in order to allow time for the aid to appear on your account.

New undergraduate freshman and transfer students are requested to participate in Screaming Eagles Orientation (refer to the New Student Orientation and Registration section). Through Orientation, you will become acquainted with the educational opportunities, facilities, resources and procedures at USI. Screaming Eagles Orientation for fall 2022 new students will be in person. If you need a virtual option, please let us know.

Schedule changes

Any student who is registered for a semester/term is eligible for online add/drops and withdrawals for that semester/term. If you need to make changes to your schedule of classes, you can do so online through myUSI through the first week of the semester (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 tuition credit is given for courses dropped online. Check your current balance online (through myUSI) by going to TouchNet. Pay online or visit the Bursar’s Office to settle your account by the bill due date.

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.
• Enroll in a payment plan: Use TouchNet to enroll in an interest free payment plan by the bill due date. The payment plan divides a student’s tuition, fees, resident housing, and books (if charged to the student’s account) into monthly installments.
• If your financial aid displayed on your bill exceeds your total charges, no action is required.

Billing statements are generated on or after the 1st of each month and due to the Bursar’s Office by the 20th of the month.
