3. Academic Advisement
   Each Illinois State University student is assigned an academic advisor to help with educational planning prior to registration.  Use the Registration Worksheet (PDF 36KB) for schedule planning. Students should meet with their academic advisor before registering for courses. If you are advised in the University College Academic Advisement Center, you are urged to make appointments in that office as early as possible so that you have adequate time for advisement before you register.  New students beginning this academic year will find the undergraduate and graduate catalogs available as a PDF from the Illinois State University home page. For older versions of the catalog, please visit our catalog archive.

4. Prerequisites
   Students who have not met the required prerequisites should not register for the course. Many course sections have mandatory prerequisites which are listed in the current undergraduate or graduate catalogs.  Each student is responsible for meeting the published prerequisites for each course requested.  After each registration period, departments may review the completion of prerequisites of registered students.  The academic units have the authority to administratively drop a student from a course for which the student has not fulfilled the published prerequisites.
5. Your Personal Identification Number (PIN) & University Identification Number (UID) are used to register for classes.
