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 undergraduate freshman and transfer students must participate in an Orientation program prior to registering for classes (refer to the New Student Orientation and Registration section). Through Orientation, new students will register for spring classes and will receive other important information to introduce them to life at USI. For those students who do not complete online orientation, there will be an Orientation program on Thursday, January 8, 2015. After January 8, students still needing to complete the orientation requirement will do so by completing online orientation prior to registering for spring classes. To make a reservation for Orientation, complete online orientation, or if you have questions, visit www.usi.edu/orientation; email orientation@usi.edu; phone 812-465-7167 or 800-350-7830.
