Credits Earned:

  • Credits earned are courses you have a final grade in that have been completed, typically courses in the semesters prior to the current semester.  For Fall 2022 registration, the example would be any classes with passing grades from Winter 2022 and before.
  • The classes you are in right now that are in progress do not count toward your Earned Credits until the end of the semester when you have earned a grade.
  • Your Time Ticket is based on the Earned Credits you have at the time of the creation of the Time Ticket.
  • You can look up your earned credits by:
    • Logging into HomerConnect > Selecting Fall 2022 for the term > Overall Credit Hours

Overrides

  • There are no overrides for full courses.  Please add yourself to the waitlist of a course.
  • You cannot submit an override request until your time ticket is open.

Waitlists and How-Tos

Waitlist Information:

Waitlist is not a guarantee that students will be able to register for a class. It allows students to be ‘in line’ if anyone drops the class. Please be sure you are checking your IC email often as this is where the notifications to register will be sent if a seat becomes available. The seat expires after 24 hours. After 24 hours the seat will be given to the next student ‘in line’. Additional information regarding waitlist can be found at How To Waitlist Guide.

Remember: Waitlist times drop to 12 hours during add/drop at the beginning of each semester.
