We do require a PIN for every student – continuing or new. For new students, we have registration sessions (online and on campus), where we (Admissions) give students the PIN in order to register for classes. For all continuing students, they get their PIN from their academic advisor every semester. We also provide a PIN for our non-degree seeking students, because we have found that without having a quick conversation (face-to-face or by phone), many non-degree students aren’t aware of campus resources, payment deadlines, how to get books, how to access D2L, consortium agreement paperwork for financial aid, etc. – so we make them have a conversation with an advisor to get the PIN each semester.

 

Enjoy the end of your semester!

Subject: 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
