Freshman Open Registration

<p>When I went to my NSC in July 13-14 I was told by one the Academic Advisers that Open Registration will be opened in August 4 but according to my Howdy Portal I won't be able to drop/add classes until August 27th. Although I did register for classes in my NSC there were some classes that I wanted to take but were full on my NSC date but have now been opened and I want to register for them before they become full again. Which date does Open Registration actually opens up, on the 27th or in the 4th of August?
Also is there a way to try to register before those dates, like if I go to College Station and ask to register will they let me?
By the way, if I accept over 30 credit hours due to AP Testing would that allow me to register before a regular Freshman?
Thanks.</p>

<p>My D’s advisor told her group to just call her if there was a class they wanted to change before the registration opened back up and she could help them. You might try that.</p>

<p>AndresM, my son had a similar problem. The advisor promised to help him get into a Chem Lab after NSC, but we have heard nothing. He emailed her, but no reply. I am guessing that this is their “off” period between the summer NSC’s and school starting up. I know my friend’s sophomore daughters can Add/Drop starting Aug 4th, but my son’s portal says Aug 27th. Interesting point on the 30 hours. If you’re going to accept them anyway, why not call MARS and do that now?</p>

<p>I would definitely google your department and email ALL the contacts listed for advisors. Hopefully one of them will get back to you. Make sure you use your Howdy email for all communications with the advisor. I’m told they won’t reply to anything else. Good Luck!!!</p>

<p>All credit hours help you have a better registrartion time for spring semester. My daughter had sophomore status for registering her spring semester, she registered weeks ahead of her classmates Not sure if it will help you now though if that is the question.</p>

<p>I am going to College Station on Tuesday to accept my AP Hours, but only 25 hours actually go towards my career plan (Comp. Engineering), I have some extra from Spanish which gives like 12 and 3 from Macro-Economics which I might accept if I need them to register early. I guess I am just going to e-mail the whole Engineering Faculty and see what happens :D</p>
