How to register for classes:

(NOTE: Only currently enrolled students or completely admitted new students are eligible to register for classes.)

Advising of currently enrolled students for spring semester 2010 will begin Monday, October 26.  Pre-registration of currently enrolled students for spring will begin Monday, November 9, in class seniority order.

Go to http://www.Lipscomb.edu and click the “myLipscomb” link at the bottom of the page. Login to the secure area using your network username and network password. New users should go to http://passwordreset.lipscomb.edu to look up their username and to set their network password.  To do this the user must know the Lipscomb ID number and the SSN must be recorded in the student information system.

Step 1. Check your Registration Eligibility.
· Click on the Student Tab.  Under the Registration Tools channel to the right, click "Check Registration Eligibility".   Displayed here are various items which may affect your registration eligibility and also any overrides you may have received from an instructor.  Your Holds, Academic Standing, Student Status, Class, and Curriculum may prevent class selection or restrict the courses you will be permitted to select.


If you have all "check marks" on your status, this means that you have no holds and are ready to view the class offerings.
 

If you have holds which prevent registration, scroll to the bottom of the screen. Click on “View Holds" to display the holds on your record. Pay close attention to the ones that restrict registration. These holds MUST be resolved before attempting to select classes. Please disregard the Tennessee Hope Scholarship, Veterans and Athletics holds as they are for office use only and will not affect the priority class selection process.  Follow the "Click here..." link to find out where to resolve each hold. It is in your best interest to resolve all holds before class selection.
 

To view the class offerings, use the “Back to Student tab” link in the top left-hand corner of the screen. Click the "myLipscomb tab".  Under the Bookmarks Plus channel,
click “Class Schedule”. This is a dynamic version of the schedule that shows when classes close or change.
· Click on the “Summer Trial Schedule” link and/or the “Fall/Spring Trial Schedule” link. Print these pages to use as a template for your schedules. Search for classes by term on the Class Search page.
· Click on the course title to view any course restrictions (prerequisites, correquisites, etc.) Be sure to note all CRNs on the trial schedule worksheet for courses because you will need these for selecting classes.

Make an advising appointment with your advisor. He/she will help you plan or review your class schedule.
 

Meet with your advisor to review your Trial Schedule worksheet. When your advisor approves your schedule, he/she will give you your Class Selection PIN sheet that will contain your Class Selection (Alternate) PIN. (This is different from your personal PIN.) You MUST have this PIN to select classes. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU NOT LOSE IT BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED IT THROUGH THE CLASS SELECTION PERIOD (AND DROP/ADD) IF YOU WISH TO MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR SCHEDULE. The PIN Sheet will also contain instructions for selecting classes on the Web. During priority class selection, your PIN sheet will also contain your Web Class Selection opening time (the time when you are allowed to begin class selection which is based on hours earned and classification).
 

You are ready to select classes once you have done the following:
· resolved all holds (if any)
· arranged a tentative schedule with your advisor
· received your Class Selection PIN sheet from your advisor
Once it is within your time to select classes, follow the Web Class Selection Instructions detailed below or on the PIN sheet you received from your advisor.
 

Beginning at, or after your assigned class selection opening time, go to any computer with Internet access. Go to http://www.Lipscomb.edu and click on “myLipscomb” at the bottom of the page.  Login to the secure area using your ID (from your ID card) and six-digit PIN you previously created. (It was originally your birth date.)  Click on  the Student tab at the top of the page.  Under the Registration Tools channel at the right side of the page, click on “Check Registration Eligibility". Select the appropriate term and click "Submit".  If you have all check boxes on this page,  you are ready to proceed.  Click the lnk that says "proceed to step 2 - Select, Drop or Add Classes."  If you have a message with a warning sign that says "You have holds which will prevent registration," click the "View Holds link at the very bottom of the page to see your holds.  Note the Hold Type column on the left to see what your hold is.  Click the link "Click here to find..." to determine where to resolve each hold.  Once your holds are resolved and it is your assigned registration time, login to this area and click "Select, Drop or Add Classes" under the Student tab and then Registration Tools.
 

Step 3. Display your schedule by Day & Time. Once your schedule is satisfactory, click “3. Display Schedule by Day & Time.”  In the top right-hand corner, enter the date classes begin fortheterm you wish to see. (Ex. 05/11/2009)  Print this schedule for your records. Be sure to verify that all of your courses are listed.

To exit, click the “LOGOUT” button in the top right-hand corner of the screen not the "CLOSE" button of your browser. Once you see “User Logout,” it is safe to close your browser and log off as normal.
 

Your schedule is now complete and saved, but your registration status will show "not officially registered" until a payment is made. If you want to make additional changes, you may do so on the web through the last day to add classes for each term. After that time, a drop form must be filled out and turned in to the Registrar’s Office, Crisman 220.
