Priority Registration FAQ
1) Why is the university doing this?
The university is changing registration to improve access to courses and help students maintain progress toward their degree. As you move closer to completing your degree, you will have fewer options on which courses you may take to complete degree requirements. Thus, the closer you get to completing your degree, the earlier your registration time. This gives you an advantage in getting the classes that you need
2) Who do I contact if I do not know when to register?
The registration schedule tells you when you may register. http://www.tamuk.edu/registrar/advantage/schedule.html You will also receive an email from the Registrar’s Office that will provide this information approximately one week before your registration time starts. The email will be sent to your preferred email address.
3) Can I still register if I miss my assigned time?
Yes, you may register any time after your time starts and while Blue and Gold is available for on-line registration.
4) What do I do if I have holds?
You cannot register if you have holds, including advising holds. Contact the department that represents the hold and see your advisor for advising if you have an advising hold.
5) My registration time has started, but I cannot register. What do I do?
If you are a freshman or you are a transfer student transferring less than 30 semester credit hours, you cannot register on-line. You must attend an orientation program. If this does not apply to you, contact the Registrar’s Office at 361-393-2811 for assistance.
