How to Register on Banner Web
- At Login, type in your PLU ID number. Enter your PIN (personal identification number). Then click the Login button.
- Select Student Services and Financial Aid. Then select Registration. You will then be given several options.
- Select the Term. Make sure the term for which you are registering is highlighted. Click on the Submit button. You will go back to the Registration menu.
- Scroll down and select Registration Status. If you have registration holds, you may not register. You must go to the office which has placed the hold to remove it. Once removed, you will be able to register. If you do not have holds, continue by clicking Return to Menu.
- At the Registration Menu, select Add/Drop classes. First-year and Sophomore students will have a pop up box requesting a Registration Access Code. This is not your PIN. This is a code provided to you during Advising Weeks by your advisor. If you do not have a code, you may not register. See your advisor.
- Scroll down to the Add Class section. Enter the CRN (Course Reference Number) for each course you would like to take. When finished, select Submit Changes button to continue. When your request is finished, you will be returned to the Add/Drop page. If you have errors, you may not register for that specific course. You will need to add through the Student Services Office in Admin 102.
- If you are having difficulty in adding a course, you may view up-to-date changes on the Banner Interactive Schedule.
- In the Current Schedule screen, scroll down and see your current class schedule. Make sure that the status box shows you are currently registered. If you have a conflict in scheduling, the system will notify you under the section called Registration Errors. Contact Students Services for assistance on Registration Errors at 253.535.7161 or ssvc@plu.edu.
- Once you have finished selecting all your courses for the term, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select Detail Schedule. Your full schedule will appear on the screen. To print, go to File and select Print.
- Log Out by clicking Exit and close your browser.
Registration Appointment Times
The first registration appointments on the first day are reserved
for graduate-level, special needs and study away students.
Registration appointment times are set for other continuing students
according to the number of earned hours in descending order.
To
learn your registration appointment time, please go to Banner Web:
After logging in, select Student Services & Financial Aid,
then Registration, and Check your Registration Status.
You will then need to select the term for which you are registering.
The next page will inform you of your registration appointment time
as well as whether or not any holds, academic standing, or student
status would prevent your registration.
New freshmen are registered for the first semester through the
Academic Advising Office.
New transfer students
will be able to register between one to three business days after
continuing student appointments have concluded. See the front pages
of the printed Class Schedule or the Registrar's Office list of
important dates for the registration
dates.
Registration may be done on-line through Banner Web. Refer to the Banner
Web section of this site or the front pages of the printed Class
Schedule for registration instructions.
Some special registrations
must be done in person at the Student Services Center or the Registrar's
Office unless otherwise indicated. These include independent studies,
class audits, classes requiring approval, class load exceptions,
and class waitlists. See the front pages of the printed Class Schedule
for more information about special registrations.
Waitlisting Classes
Waitlisting a class cannot be done on Banner Web.
A completed hardcopy of the waitlist form must be submitted to the
Student Services Center for processing. Forms are available on the wall
display across from the Student Services Center. Up to two classes per
semester can be waitlisted. Students who are below the third or fourth
place on the waitlist are strongly advised to register for a substitute
class, as it is unlikely you will get into the waitlisted class.
The Registrar's Office will move students (in waitlist order)
from the waitlist into closed classes as seats become available
until one week before the term begins. At that point the instructor
will determine which students will be admitted to closed classes.
Students will be informed by E-mail or conventional mail if they
have been admitted into a waitlisted class. Students still on the
waitlist as of the week before the term begins must attend the first
class and request the instructor's signature on an add/drop form
to be granted a place in the class. This completed form must be
submitted to the Student Services Center before the deadline to
add and drop classes.
Error Messages While Registering
The banner system has been updated to include the prerequisites and
corequisites for courses under the catalog. While
registering, you may receive the following error: " Pre-requisite/Test
Score Error." If that is the case, be sure and
check the current catalog
to see if you have fulfilled all the necessary requirements to enroll
in the course. In some areas, pre-requisites may be waived by
signature of the instructor or the department chair. Add forms will be
required for waiving of pre-requisites. Some courses are allowed
to be taken
concurrently.
If you receive the error, go ahead and register for your other courses
and then pursue enrolling in the error course through the add process
through student services.
