HOW TO: Register for Classes
What is a TAP Number? Do I have to register for classes?
How do I choose my classes?
The time to start thinking about what classes you will be taking next semester is finally here. You may have many questions regarding the registration process and if any of this information even pertains to you. Everyone is talking about getting their TAP numbers and meeting with their advisors to discuss their class schedules, so you may start to feel a bit confused. We will attempt to clarify these and many more questions in the following article.

What does it mean to register for classes? How do I choose my classes?
Students have to choose what classes they will take the next semester and “register” for them; these are not chosen for you.You can view what classes are available for the Spring 2016 semester on Millersville’s website: http://www.millersville.edu/services/registrar/scheduleandregistration/
When do I register?
Every student has a certain time, or appointment, that they can begin registering that is determined according to how many credits you have completed so far. This does not include the credits you are currently taking, however. So if you are taking 15 credits this semester and will be registering for classes in the Spring 2016, you technically have not completed those 15 credits yet and would be part of the 0-14.5 credit category.

PLEASE NOTE: It is extremely important to register during or very close to your appointment time so that a class you want to take does not fill up and close due to all the seats being full. Many students choose a few extra classes they want to take in case they cannot register for the classes they wanted originally. Have back-up courses selected just in case!
Still Confused? We hope not!
