Instructions & Tips  

See your advisor early and be prepared. Before your appointment with your advisor:

  • Review your degree audit. Print a copy and bring it to your appointment.
  • Review the catalog and read the specific requirements which must be completed within your major  and within the Core.
  • Review the class schedule and prepare a preliminary semester schedule. Be sure to “shop” from the requirements listed on your degree audit.
  • Use the Look Ahead feature on DegreeWorks to see if a course will cover a requirement.
  • Have your worksheet ready, with all CRN numbers.

During your appointment:

  • Review your career and academic goals.
  • Develop or amend your four year plan.
  • Discuss the specific or general requirements of your major and/or Core with your advisor.
  • At the end of your appointment, verify that your advisor has enabled you for registration.

After your appointment:

Check to make sure your advising hold has been removed and that you have no other holds (i.e. financial) on your account. Go to the Student Tab in myMarist and click on Student Records and then View Holds.  If you have any holds on your account, the system will NOT allow you to sign-in and register.

When registering:

  • Have your worksheet ready, with all CRN numbers.
  • Sign on myMarist and follow the registration instructions.
  • Review your schedule CAREFULLY for any errors. Pay special attention to course section numbers.

Keep the following points in mind as you prepare to register for courses:

  • You can only register for one section of the same course in a single semester. The computer will reject a second section of the same class.
  • Some courses listed in the registration materials may not be on the Poughkeepsie campus and/or may require transportation. Undergraduate day courses with section numbers from 111 - 149 and undergraduate evening courses with section numbers from 200 - 230 are held on the Poughkeepsie campus. Other section numbers are held on different Marist extension sites. Section numbers from 180 to 190 are offered at locations abroad. Section numbers in the 700's are taught online, those in the 740 range are reserved for adult students.  Courses with a section number in the 800's are hybrid courses (taught half in the classroom and half online).
  • If you are taking a Physical Education course, be certain to leave plenty of time in your schedule for cooling down, showering and/or getting across campus to your next class from the McCann Center.
  • Try to spread class-meeting days throughout the week to avoid fatigue and an overload of preparations for any given class day.
  • The normal full-time student carries from 12 to 16 credits per semester. Your full-time tuition charge covers this range of credits. You may attempt to take more than 16 credits in a given semester if you have permission from your advisor. If you wish to enroll in more than 18 credits in a given semester, you must also have permission from The Center for Advising and Academic Services. Be advised that you will be charged by the credit hour for every credit over 16.
  • If you are closed out of a class or if you decide to change your schedule, you may do so during the add/drop period during the first week of classes in each semester.
  • Pay close attention to published deadlines to avoid serious academic and financial penalties. Marist will make every effort to remind you of the important dates and deadlines, but in the end, it is your responsibility to know the deadlines and to meet them.

FAQs

How do I find my total earned credit hours?

Total earned hours are the total credit hours you have earned and accumulated at the end of the past Summer term. Your total earned credit hours can be found at:

  • Sign on to myMarist and enter your User name and Password
  • Click on the Student tab at the top of the page

  • Click on Registration
  • Click on Registration Status
  • Click on Select Term (e.g. Fall 2018)
  • To find your total earned credit hours, add institutional and transfer hours together.

How many credits should I register for?

To be considered full-time during the regular academic year (fall and spring semesters), students must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours. For most full-time students, the recommended academic load per semester is 15 credit hours so that they can reach the graduation requirement of 120 credits during the course of a four-year period -- the typical undergraduate experience. During the academic year, a student may elect to attempt a maximum of 18 credit hours each semester, but such a heavy load is not recommended. Students are advised to leave themselves enough time to prepare adequately for all of their courses and to engage in other activities on campus. Each credit taken over sixteen per semester is charged an additional fee at a per-credit-hour rate. To register for more than 18 hours in a single semester, a student must obtain the permission from the Center for Advising and Academic Services.

The maximum number of credits for which a student may register during the January intersession is three; during the summer, a student may register for a maximum total of nine credits distributed over all Marist summer sessions. Exceptions can be made by the Center for Advising and Academic Services.

How do I find out more about the Pathway in the Marist Core?

Please visit our pages about the Marist Core and Pathways to learn more information.

Is it important to be full time?

If you are NOT a part-time student and your schedule does not add up to at least twelve credits, be sure to see your advisor immediately so that he/she can help you add courses necessary to bring you up to full-time status. You must be full-time to qualify for most types of financial aid and for housing. You may be removed from housing if you do not meet the enrollment requirements. It is also important to be full-time for billing purposes.

If you need to add course-work to round out your schedule or if you wish to drop a course, you should review your audit, make additional selections, and see your advisor for review.

What if I don't remember my sign on or password?

If you have forgotten your Marist Account information, you can learn more about how to access your accounts here. Please note that you will need to provide picture identification before the Helpdesk can assist you.

Why would it not allow me to enroll in a certain course?

To answer this question, it is helpful for you to understand the system of prerequisites and restrictions that are part of the registration process. Contact the Center for Advising and Academic Services for more information.

How do I get an over-ride into a closed course? How do I get a prerequisite waived?

Over-ride Form (yellow)

If a course has reached its maximum enrollment, you may request an over-ride on a yellow Over-ride form.  You will need to get the signatures from the faculty member of the class you wish to gain access into and the Dean/ Chair of the department of the course. The form should be brought to the School office for a School stamp. School offices have the ability to put an expiration date on the Over-ride Form. You then must bring the form to the Registrar’s Office. If you do not submit it to the Registrar’s Office by the expiration date, the form will not be honored. The Registrar’s Office will check to make sure you have all the information they need and then will process the change. You need to make sure you have room in your schedule for the change and that you do not exceed 16 credits if you are not intending on taking more.

Prerequisite Permit Form (green)

You will need to get the signature the Dean or Chair of the department of the course for which you wish to waive the prerequisite. The form should be brought to the School office for a School stamp. School offices have the ability to put an expiration date on the Prerequisite Permit Form. You then must bring the form to the Registrar’s Office. If you do not submit it to the Registrar’s Office by the expiration date, the form will not be honored. The Registrar’s Office will check to make sure you have all the information they need and then will grant the waiver. You will be asked to immediately use a nearby computer to register for the course once the Registrar’s staff has cleared the permission for you. It remains YOUR responsibility to register for the class.

What if I feel I have met a prerequisite, but the system won't let me register?

You should first review your Degree Audit. Is the prerequisite there? If yes, contact the Registrar's Office to resolve the conflict. If the prerequisite is not listed on your audit, research why. Did you forget to have the Advanced Placement credits or transcript sent? Start the process immediately. Is there some other issue? Contact your advisor to explore your options.

I received an error. What do I do?

A student may receive several messages if they have a hold such as financial or advisor on their record or it is not their scheduled time to register. If you do not see your error message below or you feel the error is incorrect, please contact the Registrar's Office.

"You have no Registration Time Ticket. Please contact the registration administrator for your time ticket."

If you received this error, it is not your time to register. Please check your earned credits/class standing on the Registration Status page in my.Marist.edu, then check the registration schedule.

"You have holds which will prevent registration."

Review your holds on my.Marist.edu. Resolve the holds with the appropriate office or your advisor.

RESTRICTION ERROR MESSAGES:

Field of study restriction-Major (restricted just for a specific major).

Field of study restriction-Concentration (restricted for a specific concentration).

Field of study restriction-Minor-(restricted for a specific minor).

Class Restriction- Class is reserved for a specific class such as freshmen, sophomore, junior, or senior.

Level Restriction - student is registering for a course that is not their level such as an undergraduate trying to register for a graduate course.

For all field of study, class, and level restrictions, you will need to meet this requirement to be allowed into this course. If you feel you meet the requirement but are still being restricted, see the Registrar's Office. If you would like to get permission to enter the course, pick up a pink Major/Minor/Class Restriction Permit Form from the Registrar's Office and request permission from the Dean/Chair of the Department of the course. The form should be brought to the School office for a School stamp. School offices have the ability to put an expiration date on the form. You then must bring the form to the Registrar’s Office. If you do not submit it to the Registrar’s Office by the expiration date, the form will not be honored. The Registrar’s Office will check to make sure you have all the information they need and then will grant the waiver. You will be asked to immediately use a nearby computer to register for the course once the Registrar’s staff has cleared the permission for you. It remains YOUR responsibility to register for the class.

"Closed section-course is maxed out and student will need an override."

Select another course section or request permission of the professor. You will need to use an Over-ride Form and have it signed by the professor and School office to complete the registration.

"Prerequisite & Test Score Error-Student has not met the prerequisites."

You have not met the necessary testing or prerequisite requirements. If you feel this is an error, contact the Registrar's Office. If you would like to request permission to waive the prerequisite or testing requirements, use a green Prerequisite Permit Form from the Registrar's Office. See here for more information.  

"Time Conflict with CRN _ _ _ Student is trying to register for two courses that meet at the same time."

You have two courses in the same time slot. Select which one of the courses you want to register for and choose another option for the other course.
