Registration Procedures

Students register by using Banner Web, an online registration system. In addition to registering, Banner Web also offers students the ability to add or drop a class, check their schedules, and access final grades. Banner Web may be accessed through the PLU home page (www.plu.edu). Students may contact the Student Services Center with registration questions.

Students are not officially enrolled until their registration has been cleared by the Student Accounts Office.

Students are responsible for selecting their courses. Advisors are available to assist with planning and to make suggestions.

Students should be thoroughly acquainted with all registration materials, including the current catalog and class schedule. Students are also encouraged to study carefully the requirements of all academic programs in which they may eventually declare a major.

Adding or Dropping a Course

All add or drop activity must be completed by the listed add/drop deadline for the specific term or semester. Please refer to the Class Schedule or go online at www.plu.edu/~regi for the most current information. Students may add a course without an instructor signature only during the first five business days of a full or half semester-length class. A student may drop a course without an instructor's signature only during the first ten business days of a full semester-length class or of a half semester-length class. In most cases, adding and dropping can be accomplished using Banner Web. See the January Term and summer schedules for the add/drop periods for those terms. Any registration changes may result in additional tuition charges and fees and may also affect the student's financial aid (if applicable). A $50 Late Registration Fee is charged for any registration changes after the printed deadline dates.

Early Registration for Returning Students

Returning students will receive registration time appointments to register for summer/fall terms and for January and spring terms. Registration dates are determined by the number of hours, including transfer hours, completed by the student. Students may register for each new term or summer session on or after the designated date.

Early Registration Program for Entering Students

Early registration for entering students occurs during June or January, depending on whether students begin in the fall or spring semester. Early registration is conducted by the Advising Office. Registration materials are sent to all accepted entering students well in advance of their arrival on campus for their first semester.

Most students meet in person with a registration counselor as they register for courses. Students may also register by phone.
