Registration Schedule Information

Advising begins one week prior to priority registration. Please see your advisor as early as possible. Many programs require advisors to remove registration holds before students can use My Portal to register. If you get a message about needing an "Advising Hold" when you attempt to register, this means your advisor has not released your hold to allow you to register. Your advisor needs to remove the hold from your account once you have completed your advising.

Student athletes (who have been coded as an athlete for the upcoming semester) and students who are veterans (who are currently receiving benefits and/or provided a copy of their DD214 to the Office of the Registrar) start registering on the Thursday prior to priority registration at 8:30am. All other students follow the priority schedule below. If you have questions about your status, athletes should contact Amy Gasahl at palingal@udmercy.edu. Veterans with questions should contact a School Certifying Official at vms@udmercy.edu. 

Priority Registration begins on Mondays at midnight. Each day the priority group is eligible at midnight based on the table below.

Students can register anytime during the assigned day for their class standing or after their assigned day. Class standing is determined by the actual number of earned hours as of the official enrollment date in the current semester. Your class standing doesn't change until you have enough earned hours.

Incomplete grades or transfer hours not posted to your account may effect your class standing (current semester courses are not included in your class standing unless they have earned a final grade):
