Priority Registration allows eligible students to select courses prior to the beginning of the term. Priority registration occurs during week 10 of the fall term (for spring and summer course registration) and week 11 of the spring term (for fall course registration).
Students register according to the total of their earned plus currently enrolled hours, and are encouraged to register on their first day of eligibility. Students register online through myUSI, but are urged to first review their degree audit (through myUSI) and meet with their academic advisor to review their course selection before registering.
Many students [degree-seeking undergraduates with less than 30 earned hours (freshmen), students with a GPA less than 2.00, students from certain majors, etc.] will have a registration hold placed on their record and will be eligible for registration only after meeting with their academic advisor to review their course selection and remove the hold.
Priority Registration for Spring 2025
Students should first meet with their academic advisor before registering. Contact the department of your major to inquire about office hours, advisor availability, and to schedule an appointment. If you're unable to meet during regular office hours, please inquire about alternative advising options.
