The following students need a PIN for registration:

• New students
• First-semester students
• Students with the academic standing of Academic Warning, Probation, Extended Probation, or Recovery
• Non-degree students

To get their PIN, students must communicate with the advisor to demonstrate a sufficient academic plan for registration. Once approved, advisors will share the PIN via email.

(Note: Students on Academic Probation, Extended Probation, and Recovery do not receive their PIN. All registration changes – add, drop, and withdrawal – must be processed by their advisor.)

If you need a PIN for registration, it will be emailed to you by your advisor after your academic plan has been approved.
