GET FAMILIAR WITH PIPERLINE
Log in to the secured area of Piperline before the registration period begins. Familiarize yourself with the menus and navigation. If you have never used Piperline, it will take you some time to familiarize yourself with it. Don't wait until the first day of registration to do this.
HOLDS
Check your registration status in Piperline for any holds that will prevent you from registering (e.g. financial, immunization, academic probation). It is important that you do this before registration starts, so that you have time to take the necessary steps to clear your hold(s). Registration holds can only be removed by the department that placed it. The Office of the Registrar rarely places registration holds. More commonly, holds are set by Student Accounts, Financial Aid or some other department. If you have a registration hold, please contact the appropriate department.
PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE
Make sure you check the course description for each section you select, and verify that you have met the prerequisites. Please see the class schedule via Piperline for course descriptions.

Status Message |
Action |
|
CLOSED - XXX WAITLISTED |
Select NONE to drop the selection, or WAIT LIST to add your name to the wait list. |
|
OPEN - XXX WAITLISTED |
You may not register for this section because a wait list has been started and there are fewer open seats than students on the wait list. Select NONE to drop this selection, or WAIT LIST to add your name to the wait list. |
|
PREQ-PREREQUISITE MISSING |
Select a different section--you do not have the pre-requisite(s) for this section. The system has trouble reading transfer credits and course substitutions used as pre-requisites. If the system does not allow you to register for a section for which you indeed have met the prerequisites, please contact the Office of the Registrar. |
|

WAIT LIST
If a section is full, you may put yourself on the wait list and register for something else. You may be on as many wait lists as you wish. However, wait listing does NOT mean that you are registered in that section. If you become eligible to enroll, the Office of the Registrar will notify you via email before 5 p.m. March 16th, 2009. You then will have forty-eight hours to change your registration from WAIT LIST to WEB REGISTERED. If you are no longer interested in the section, you may drop the section yourself. After the forty-eight hour period, if you have not registered for the section, you will be automatically dropped from the wait list. This process does not apply to DRI courses.
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR REGISTRATION STATUS FROM WAIT LIST TO **WEB REGISTERED**
1. Login to Piperline.
2. Access your schedule for the Summer 2009 term.
3. Find the class in which you are wait listed. Note the CRN (you will need it in the next step).
4. Change the Action value from None to **Web Drop/Delete**. (You must first drop the wait list registration to prevent a duplicate CRN error.)
5. Click the Submit Registration button.
6. Type the CRN in the first box of the Add Classes Worksheet.
7. Click the Submit Registration button.
8. The enrollment Status will change from Wait List to **Web Registered**.
