REGISTRATION FAQ

WHEN do you Register? Students can BEGIN to register according to how many EARNED hours are listed on your Academic Transcript found in Banner. Please refer to look under “students” then “Registration Schedule” for list of dates/times. First semester freshmen (with no AP or Transfer credit) have 0 hours and register during the last time slot.

How do I use WAIT LISTS? Not every course has a wait list feature! For instructions on how to use the wait list, Go to the Registrar’s home page and look under “students” for “registration”

What if a class I want is CLOSED? You have all semester to adjust your schedule. Just WAIT and keep checking online at Banner to see if something opens. Students will be changing their schedules constantly throughout the semester (and over the holiday break) and some courses may likely open up (or you can wait until schedules are cancelled for non-payment—refer to academic calendar on ECU’s home page for specific dates.)
