Preregistration
AT LEAST TWO DAYS BEFORE IT IS YOUR START DATE/TIME
TO PREREGISTER, CHECK THAT YOU HAVE NO BLOCKS.
YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PREREGISTER IF YOU ARE BLOCKED. BLOCKS MAY
BE CHECKED ON
http://myrecord.tamu.edu/.
Preregistration start dates and times will be e-mailed to your Neo
e-mail account. If you plan on preregistering, YOU are responsible for
checking your Neo e-mail for your start date/time. Start dates and times
are assigned randomly within each classification (seniors first, juniors
second, etc.) for every preregistration period. Once your start date/time
begins, you have 48 hours to complete your preregistration, EXCLUDING
weekends and holidays. For example, if your assigned start date/time
is November 18 at 6:30 a.m., you can access online registration
any time between November 18, 6:30 a.m. and November 20, 6:29 a.m. (i.e.,
a 48-hour period). If you are unable to complete your preregistration
during the 48 hours allotted to you, you will have to wait for the open
registration period for your classification or the open period for all
students to finish your registration. You may check the calendar of
dates at http://register.tamu.edu/
.
Students who work a minimum of twelve (12) hours between 8 a.m. and
5 p.m., Monday-Friday either on-campus or off-campus
are allowed to preregister for their classes earlier than the general
student population so they can schedule their classes around their work
schedules. In order to qualify, please go to http://register.tamu.edu/ and read the information contained therein.
The form must be signed by your employer and physically submitted to The Registrar's Office at the Metro Center on Texas Ave., i.e.,
no electronic submissions are permitted.
The preregistration process is outlined below:
- Go to the online Course Schedule at http://courses.tamu.edu.
This website contains a list of all courses to be offered along with
section numbers and the time each section of the course will be taught.
PAPER COPIES OF THE SCHEDULE OF CLASSES ARE NO LONGER
PUBLISHED!
- You MUST have an appointment AND a schedule of courses outlined
BEFORE seeing an advisor. Click on trial
schedule to printout a hard copy of the trial schedule
form so as to be prepared for your appointment. Be sure you have checked
the prerequisites
for each course selected. Also, check for potential schedule conflicts
between your courses and noted optional instruction and/or common
exams. You are only allowed to register for 16 hours during preregistration.
Additional hours may be added after the preregistration period ends.
- You may want to review the grade distributions based on past semesters
for specific classes. You can obtain this information online at http://www.tamu.edu/admissions/records/reports/index.php,
or you may access the information at http://www.pickaprof.com
. You will also find student comments at the "Pickaprof"
location. There is a per semester charge to use "Pickaprof".
- Use the online Course Schedule to check for availability of courses.
Once a class has reached enrollment capacity, there will be a 0 in the
column titled "available." This will assist you in preparing
your schedule and save you time once you have accessed online registration.
- If you encounter a class that you want to take but it is full, you
have the option to go to the department in which the course is offered
to attempt to get forced into a "closed/full" course. Many
departments do not force students into "closed/full" sections,
but it may be worth asking - nicely!
- For AGEC classes we have an online system for adding your
name to the force list. You will need to enter all required information
and submit your request at the link below. Please note our procedure
for processing these requests. We highly encourage you to submit a
request as soon as you see the course section you want is full. DO
NOT WAIT until the end of the preregistration period or the
end of the semester. The priority in which the forces will be allocated
within each class/section are as follows: (1) AGEC/AGBU seniors graduating in May 2006; (2)
AGEC/AGBU seniors graduating in August 2006; (3) AGEC/AGBU seniors graduating
in December 2006; (4) all other AGEC/AGBU/AGBL
students; and (5) non-majors. Within each of those categories, allocations
are made according to who signed up first and who we are able
to reach when we are processing the force list. Therefore,
be sure you submit to us a GOOD phone number AND e-mail address we
can use in contacting you.
| Notes:
|
You MUST have an appointment AND
a schedule outlined before seeing an advisor. Simply coming in
to have Rose or Pam make your schedule is not acceptable. Preregistration
is a very busy part of the semester. In order to help more students
both of these items will be required as your “ticket”
in to see an advisor. Please also note that appointment times
are not guaranteed, but we will make every effort possible to
see you in a timely manner.
To help you decide what courses you should take, we strongly suggest that you click on the curriculum link on the menu to the left and download your curriculum sheet. Be sure to make certain you select the correct major, option, if applicable, and catalog number (125, 126, 127, etc.). If you do not
know your catalog number go to http://myrecord.tamu.edu/current.aspx
and click on "Degree Audit Request," your catalog number
will be shown on the first page of your degree audit. Students
classified as AGBL will need to call the office at 845-4911 and
ask whoever answers the phone what their catalog number is as
you will be unable to access the degree audit screen until you
are classified as AGBU. After you download your curriculum sheet,
mark off the courses you have completed. This will let you know
what courses you are lacking to meet your degree requirements
and you can select courses accordingly. BE SURE TO CHECK THE PREREQUISITES
FOR EACH COURSE YOU SELECT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MET PREREQUISITE
REQUIREMENTS. We advise that you attempt to get your MATH 141
and 142, AGEC 217, STAT 303, ECON 322/323, and AGEC 317 completed
as soon as possible. Delaying the taking of these courses may
delay your graduation one or more semesters.
