Registration Periods

Early Registration

All currently enrolled students who plan to take classes are encouraged to register early. The first day you are eligible to register is available on MyFSU or posted near your dean’s office about the fifth week of the term. Students may register or make schedule changes via the internet from 12:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. during the early registration period.

Internet Registration

There are two convenient ways to register for classes. If you choose to use Internet Registration please refer to the instructions previously listed.

In Person Registration

If you choose not to use the internet system you may schedule your classes at the Timme Center for Student Services. If you require advising, please contact your advisor or college academic counselor prior to coming to the Timme Center. Students can contact the department for courses requiring a permit or override.

To expedite your registration be sure to prepare your class schedule, including the CRN of each class, before you arrive. One of our Student Service Representatives will enter the information into the registration system. These representatives cannot advise you regarding what classes to take. If you have course questions you should talk to your advisor or academic counselor.

If you register early, an invoice will be sent by the Business Office to your billing address. Cash, check, or credit cards (MasterCard, or Visa) may be used to pay your current balance due. A $25.00 late payment penalty may be charged if the current balance due is not received by the due date.

If someone other than you (e.g., parents) will pay your tuition, you are responsible for notifying them of the charges and the payment deadline. Invoices are mailed to the student. You should be sure that the University has your current address on the student system. Your account balance and current amount due is also available on the internet. Failure to receive an invoice is not a basis for non-payment.

Late Registration

Students may make schedule changes via the internet from 12:00a.m. - 10:00p.m. in the first two days of late registration. The last day of fall and spring plus the one day of summer late registration, the hours are 12:00a.m. - 5:30p.m.. In person registration may take place at the Timme Center for Student Services each day during late registration. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the system may not be available during these hours.

Students are expected to pay the minimum balance due during each registration period. Class schedules may be dropped for students who have not paid or have insufficient financial aid to cover the minimum payment (50%) of their total bill by the last day of late registration. A Business Office hold will be placed on students whose classes were dropped for non-payment, or those who have not scheduled, and they will need to pay all past due charges, have sufficient financial aid or pay 50% of current charges, plus a $100.00 late fee to re-register during the drop/add period. No invoices are mailed during late registration.

Drop/Add Period

Once classes begin, you may adjust your schedule during the first four days of the term. Students may make schedule changes via the internet from 12:00a.m. - 10:00p.m. in the first three days of the drop/add period, and 12:00a.m. - 5:30p.m. on the last day. Changes can be made by using the internet or in person at the Timme Center for Student Services. Schedule adjustments are not permitted after the fourth day of the term without the approval of your dean’s office. If you increase your charges during this period, you must pay the extra charges by the 4th day of classes or your schedule may be dropped. Beginning the first day of the term, total withdrawals from the University are processed through the Timme Center for Student Services or by calling the Record’s Office at 231-591-2792 or toll free at 1-877-433-7747.

Students attempting to register for the first time or rescheduling because their classes were dropped at the end of Late Registration will have a Business Office hold and will need to have sufficient financial aid or pay 100% of any past due balance plus 50% of the current semester charges and a late registration fee of $100.00. No invoices are mailed during the drop/add period.

At the end of the drop/add period (fourth day of the term), students without a schedule who want to register will have a registration hold and will need to contact the Business Office and receive Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs approval before registration can take place. They will also be charged the $100.00 late registration fee and will need to have sufficient financial aid or pay 100% of any past due balance plus 50% of the current term charges.
