Instructions & Tips  

Keep the following points in mind as you prepare to register for courses:

 

  • You can only register for one section of the same course in a single semester. The system will reject a second section of the same class.
  • Courses taught entirely on ground, in the campus classrooms, have section numbers 100-299.
  • Section numbers from 180 to 190 are offered at locations abroad.
  • Section numbers in the 700's are taught online, those in the 740 range are restricted to students with 30+ credits. All other major and/or prerequisite restrictions still apply. 
  • If you are taking a Physical Education course, be certain to leave plenty of time in your schedule for cooling down, showering and/or getting across campus to your next class from the McCann Center.  
  • Try to spread class-meeting days throughout the week to avoid fatigue and an overload of preparations for any given class day.
  • A full-time undergraduate student will carry from 12 to 16 credits per semester. One lecture credit meets for 50 minutes for 15 weeks (or its equivalent). One laboratory or clinical credit meets for 150 minutes for 15 weeks (or its equivalent). Your full-time tuition charge covers this range of 12 to 16 credits. You may attempt to take more than 16 credits in a given semester if you have discussed this with your advisor. If you wish to enroll in more than 18 credits in a given semester, you must also have permission from The Center for Advising and Academic Services - you can contact them at Advising@Marist.edu. Be advised that you will be charged by the credit hour for every credit over 16.
  • If you need to make adjustments to your schedule after the initial registration period, you may do so during the add/drop period during the first week of classes in each semester.
  • Pay close attention to published deadlines to avoid serious academic and financial penalties. Marist will make every effort to remind you of the important dates and deadlines, but in the end, it is your responsibility to know the deadlines and to meet them.

Total earned hours are the total credit hours you have earned and accumulated at the end of the past Summer term. Your total earned credit hours can be found at:

  • Sign on to myMarist and enter your User name and Password
  • Click on the Student tab at the top of the page
  • Click on Banner Self Service
  • Click on Registration
  • Click on Registration Status
  • Click on Select Term (e.g. Fall or Winter)
  • To find your total earned credit hours, add institutional and transfer hours together.

To be considered full-time during the regular academic year (fall and spring semesters), students must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours. For most full-time students, the recommended academic load per semester is 15 credit hours so that they can reach the graduation requirement of 120 credits during the course of a four-year period -- the typical undergraduate experience. During the academic year, a student may elect to attempt a maximum of 18 credit hours each semester, but such a heavy load is not recommended. Students are advised to leave themselves enough time to prepare adequately for all of their courses and to engage in other activities on campus. Each credit taken over sixteen per semester is charged an additional fee at a per-credit-hour rate. To register for more than 18 hours in a single semester, a student must obtain the permission from The Center for Advising and Academic Services at Advising@Marist.edu. 

The maximum number of credits for which a student may register during the January intersession is three; during the summer, a student may register for a maximum total of nine credits distributed over all Marist summer sessions. Exceptions can be made by the Center for Advising and Academic Services.

Please visit our pages about the Marist Core and Pathways to learn more information.

If you are NOT a part-time student and your schedule does not add up to at least twelve credits, be sure to see your advisor immediately so that he/she can help you add courses necessary to bring you up to full-time status. You must be full-time to qualify for most types of financial aid and for housing. You may be removed from housing if you do not meet the enrollment requirements. It is also important to be full-time for billing purposes.

If you need to add course-work to round out your schedule or if you wish to drop a course, you should review your audit, make additional selections, and see your advisor for review.

If you have forgotten your Marist Account information, the Helpdesk, at helpdesk@Marist.edu can assist you.
