Student Registration

Steps:

Departments will work with Purdue Online (PO) to help students register to their respective courses choosing one of three methods per program.

1. Department provides a list of students and a defined list of courses to PO for entering into Banner.
   1. PO is provided with Course Registration Number (CRN), or PO requests CRN creation per department instruction.
   2. PO collects authorization to register on the student’s behalf from each student at the beginning of their degree program for the life of the program.
   3. PO communicates with the department or directly to the students if there are registration holds that prevent registration.
   4. PO adds the appropriate financial and student attributes to the student’s file.
   5. PO adds the CRNs for registration.
   6. PO emails registration confirmation email with payment and deadline information.
   7. PO reviews registration reports checking for accuracy.
   8. PO reviews financial reports to confirm assessment accuracy.
2. Department provides a list of students and a list of courses offered for the term.
   1. PO is provided with CRN, or PO requests CRN creation per department instruction.
   2. PO populates the secure registration request website for students to log in using career account password and chooses the courses for the term.
   3. The student authorizes PO to register the courses on their behalf.
   4. PO communicates with the department, or directly to the students, if there are registration holds that prevent registration.

Questions to Consider:

Registration

• Who will register students in their courses? Self-register, department register, central unit?
• How will you ensure students are registered on time, in the correct courses?
• PO maintains a registration request website that serves as a replacement for the course catalog for PWL students, so they can choose courses for the Purdue Online staff to register on their behalf. Purdue Online ensures that students are coded correctly and then registers the students in the appropriate course sections. PO then provides regular reporting back to the department of registered students.
  • Create custom drop-add calendars for programs that have a custom date range.
  • Monitor and communicate through the cancellation process.
• Provide regular registration and financial reports to client units.
