Now that you have attended (or watched the recording) of 'Planning your First Semester,’ let us get you started on your own path! Follow these simple steps.
Step 1: Look up your Time Ticket and add it to your personal calendar with notifications!
- Head to SIS
- Go to the ‘Student Menu’
- Click on ‘View Time Ticket’
- The start time is when you will be able to officially register for your classes
Step 2: Download your Major’s Plan of Study
Step 3: Download the HASS Core Worksheet for HASS Majors
Step 4: Create a list of courses that you should plan to take based on...
- Your HASS Major and/or Dual requirements!
- Your Core Requirements (HASS, Math/Science)
Step 5: Review your course plan to ensure the following...
- You MUST take more than 12-credits to be full-time
- You SHOULD take between 16-17 credits if you intend to graduate in 4 years
- It is NOT recommended to take above 18 credits in your first semester at RPI
If you are all set...
Step 5: Bring that list of courses to QUACS!
- QUACS is a student-run tool to help develop mock schedules.
- It pulls information from SIS (Student Information System).
- Important note! QUACS may not have accurate seat numbers when registration goes live! How will you know if a section still has seats? Head to the next step!
- Save this information for each course (you will need it to register);
- CRN (ex: 64614)
- Course Subject/Prefix (INQR 1030)
- Course Section Number (ex: 01)
Step 6: Confirm course information for each of your selected courses in SIS!
- Head to SIS
- Go to the ‘Student Menu’
- Click on ‘Class Search’
- Use the Class Search page to find your course to learn more about the course.
- Confirm the section still has seats
- Click the ‘CRN’ (Course Registration Number) Hyperlink
- Then the course ‘Title’ Hyperlink
- Check if the section is restricted to certain majors or cohorts (class years). Based on what you see, you may need to select a different section or course.
Step 7: Register! Plan to sign-up for your classes when your Time Ticket opens on July 25th!
You should prioritize registering for your classes the moment your Time Ticket opens.
- Head to SIS
- Go to the ‘Student Menu’
- Click on ‘Register/Add/Drop’
- Follow the prompts to register for your courses
