The “tentative” spring semester will be finalized prior to Nov. 6.

PREREGISTRATION PROCEDURES

Monticello - Currently enrolled students must meet with your assigned academic adviser to assess your progress and to plan your class schedule for spring. Your adviser may enter your class schedules for you, or you may be able to enter your class selections using “On-Line Preregistration.”

Generally, graduate and undergraduate students who have already completed more than 60 hours, have at least a 2.50 cumulative GPA and are not on conditional academic standing may preregister online after meeting with their adviser. (For specifics, click here).

Academic advisers have the discretion to add or remove the online preregistration capability on any of their advisees. Students unable to access online preregistration will have their class selections entered by the academic adviser.

Students at the Monticello location can obtain the name and location of their adviser by contacting Academic Affairs (ext. 1033) or the Office of the Registrar (ext. 1034). You can also access their adviser information through the UAM home page (www.uamont.edu) under the “Campus Connect” link under the “Current Students” option.

You must know your student ID and PIN access the system. Students who do not know their PIN should click on the link “Help! What’s my PIN? Get your Student ID number, PIN number and your Email Address by clicking here” shown on the Campus Connect page.
