Hello all, the way I understand registering for classes is that it happens during orientation. If you are part of the honors program your supposed to get priority registration but if you go to the final orientation (aug 21-23 give or take a day) can you still get priority registration? Just a little confused on the whole process. Any info would be appreciated.
I think priority registration is only after the first semester since upperclassman have already chosen their classes, ergo it’s not really “priority” after that point.
For each orientation session, they do hold a certain number of spots for courses such as enc1101, college algebra etc. to make it so your orientation date doesn’t affect your chances of getting a class too much. However, if you want honors courses (with the smaller class sizes) I do believe you are at a disadvantage because I don’t think they hold those for each orientation session.
I could be wrong though, and feel free to correct me if I am.
I would also be interested if anyone has more info on this. My son is in honors and we are going to orientation next month. He has an AA and shouldn’t need any of the standard pre-req classes…
You can’t register for your first semester of classes until Orientation if you’re an incoming student. There’s a block on your account from doing so.
Also, unfortunately, I believe that starting with the registration for Summer/Fall 2015 that opened in March, everyone now registers at the same time. Once it opens for the first group it’s open for everyone.
The priority registration was really nice for Honors students (and one of the few perks of the program that I actually liked). Now that it’s gone the program has lost one of its two biggest perks.
I found a link with the fall 2015 registration guide. It seems like there is still a time when each of the different grades register. However there is no slot that says honors students either. This leads me to believe that scheduling will still be dependent on grade and credit hours but how that may effect those in the honors program is still up in the air. http://registrar.fsu.edu/dir_class/fall/registration_windows.htm
