Hi Cassie,
At least from my perspective, the ability to produce pins is not cumbersome in comparison with the benefits. It helps insure that students had at least the opportunity to talk with someone about their classes, staying on track for graduation, and their long term goals, in addition to supporting processes in business and financial aid.

Carroll (a Colleague school) does not require PINs for registration. We do allow advisors to place an advising hold that blocks registration until the student meets with the advisor. Few advisors take advantage of this hold.
I’m intrigued – how cumbersome is the PIN process for the Registrar’s Office? It sounds like it’s something that’s pretty much built into Banner. Are there other advantages and disadvantages? I think this is something our financial aid and business offices would like due to the reasons Kerry suggested.
Best,
Cassie

Yes, we do require students to meet with advisors, sign an Advising contract, and get their registration pin. I don’t believe they can register in Banner without an advising PIN.
Our only exception is for Non-Degree Seeking students.

Subject: [!!Mass Mail]Requiring advisors signatures and pins at registration?
A questions has come up from a few of our faculty regarding if advisors signatures/pins are really needed for registration. I was curious if all of you require students to meet with an advisor and receive either a signature or a registration pin (for online registration) prior to registration? If you do require signature or pins, are there any exceptions?
Thanks for any information you are willing to share.
Have a great week
