Spring 2025 Course Registration

On Wednesday, October 23, after 12pm, students will be able to view their Registration Status (aka Time Ticket) on HomerConnect. Registration Status/Time Ticket lets students know what day and time they can begin to register for classes. Assignments are based on credits EARNED which can be viewed in HomerConnect. DegreeWorks includes credits applied and is NOT used for assignments.

To ensure the most accurate time ticket, students should complete the following prior to Monday, October 14, 2024:

  • Confirm all transfer credits have been awarded, including but not limited to, AP, IB and CLEP.
  • Complete any change of majors/minors/concentrations via IC workflow. 
  • Time Ticket assignment is based on credits earned; in-progress fall credits ARE NOT considered for the purposes of Time Ticket assignment.  

To check your credits earned navigate to your Student Profile page on HomerConnect, and view Overall Hours.  

DegreeWorks includes the classes you are currently taking in credits applied, this is NOT what time ticketing is based on. 

When using your HomerConnect Profile page, ensure Spring 2025 term is selected in the upper left corner. To find your time ticket: click on Registration Notices in the upper right corner. You can also check holds here. Not all holds block registration; please be sure to look at Processes Affected. Please reach out to the originator of the hold to resolve the issue. 

Once Spring registration begins, Prerequisite Checking and Course Restrictions WILL include review of your in-progress fall courses. 

The IC Workflow override system opens with your time ticket (not before). You cannot submit an override until your time ticket opens. 

NO option in the override system when a class is full:

There is NO option in the override system when a class is full; the only option for a full class is to go on waitlist (if waitlist seats are available).  You can find additional waitlist tutorials on the Office of Registrar's website

You can also speak to your advisor about registering for a different degree requirement if possible. 

Please keep in mind, this is only the beginning of registration which continues until the last day of add/drop: Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
