Registration Process

Students who are officially admitted to the University may register for courses. Prior to each academic semester, a registration period is held. Students may find information on registration dates and the dates of other transactions that affect them in the course schedule or may also seek information on the web at www.utpb.edu.

Any student who is currently enrolled or who has been accepted into the University is eligible to register for classes. Students who have been away from UT Permian Basin more than a year or are new to the University must reapply or apply prior to any registration. Once accepted, students may proceed to the registration process.

Freshman Registration

To assist freshmen who are entering the University in the fall semester, a special freshman registration is held in conjunction with freshman orientation. Freshmen must participate in orientationto register for classes. Registration is done as part of the orientation event. Dates for freshman orientation are provided for entering freshmen in advance of the scheduled orientation days. New students must complete the admissions process through the Office of Admissions prior to enrolling in classes. (See the Admissions section of the catalog for further details.) Individuals who desire financial aid assistance should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid several months in advance of Freshman Orientation so their aid may be processed in a timely manner. (See the Financial Aid section of the catalog and contact the Office of Student Financial Aid for details regarding financial aid.)
All entering freshmen must enroll in UNIV 1101 (Freshman Seminar) if they have not completed 24 college credit hours prior to enrolling. Freshmen seeking an exemption from the Freshman Seminar should ask at orientation or a time prior to enrolling in classes.

New Transfer Students

Students who are transferring to the University or who are re-enrolling in the University after an absence of one year or more are permitted to register for classes during registration held prior to the beginning of classes only if they have been admitted or readmitted. This registration period is provided to allow students sufficient time to complete the registration process, including consulting advisors, signing up for classes, and paying tuition and fees. Students who are seeking financial aid and who have not completed this process by the financial aid priority deadline will inevitably be delayed in receiving funds from federal grants and secured and unsecured loans. (See the Financial Aid section of the catalog for details regarding financial aid.) Dates of registration are listed in the semester calendar.
