Continuing Student Registration
The Academic Coordinator(s) will establish a registration schedule for continuing students each term on behalf of the campus Registrar. Continuing student registration will always end on the last day of finals in the standard semester. Other deadlines for registering for accelerated and on-line courses exist and will be published each term. Continuing students will use the OSS Student Self-Service application link found in their Portal to enroll for desired courses.
10 Basic Steps to Registration
1. Read the registration materials and familiarize yourself scheduling and registration process, taking special note of dates/times/expectations.
2. Print off a copy of your program Plan of Study from the website (Academics). These documents detail the course groupings term-by-term that are used to create the course schedule and will assist you with determining which courses to take next. The Plan of Study should always be the basis for establishing your term schedule. Seek advising assistance from you program Dean or the Academic Coordinator(s) if you need assistance determining where you are in your Plan of Study or what courses you should take next.
3. Determine your current progress towards completing your program. In the future, students will use an application called DEGREE NAVIGATOR - to be found in your student portal - to determine your progress and classes taken. For this term you need two pieces of information: your completed courses at DeVry and your transfer or proficiency credits awarded. Both of these can be found in the OSS Student Self-Service application from your portal under the "View Academic History" link. Once there enter your Career, which is your program degree type (Bachelor, Associate), and a term that you attended DeVry, then click "GO". Do this for each term noting on your Plan of Study which classes you have completed. Transfer credits are listed under a section called "Advanced Standing Unit Details" if any are awarded. Also mark off the courses you are currently enrolled in (assuming that you will pass each of them!). If you can not establish this information come to the Academic Office (Room 2200).
4. Pick up a copy of the REGISTRATION CATALOG for all sorts of information including the listing of spring term courses (including dates, times, professors and room numbers). Also pick up the Student OSS Course Enrollment Guide and other help documents in Academics if needed. A complete listing of courses can be obtained on-line by following the enrollment steps and clicking "GO" before entering a Unit Code".
5. Determine, BY HAND, your intended spring term class schedule. Take care to ensure you account for lab classes and all hours of a given course so you do not accidentally try to schedule a conflict. Mark these courses on the blank grid provided in the Registration Catalog, or available from Academics to help visualize your schedule layout and check for conflicts. ALSO, make SURE you include the SECTION of the course (i.e. MATH191 P , HUMN420 A , EET202 P and EET202 Lab P ) as you will need to know this when you go into your portal to enroll in your units (classes).
NOTE: In the OSS system the course listings give the delivery format as well as the section letter.
- STN_A - "STN_A" references a standard (traditional 15 week day/night) class. A = section.
Some examples of standards listings: PSYC110 STN_A, MATH105 STN_X . - ACC_W - "ACC_W" references an accelerated course. "W" is a Session B section.
Some examples of accelerated listings: BIS150 ACC_T, ENGL135 ACC_K . - CMP_L - "CMP_L" references a compressed course. Session B only for applicants who go through the Compressed Session B registration.
Some examples of compressed listings: COLL147 CMP_J, MATH090 CMP_J. - OL_G - "OL_G" references an online course. Only students who are eligible to take accelerated courses may schedule these courses. Questions? Please contact the Academic Coordinator in Rm. 2200.
Some examples of online listings: BUSN427 OL_E and BSOP206 OL_B.
6. Login to your DeVry Student Portal at https://my.devry.edu/ . NOTE: the first time you log into your portal you will use your DSI number for User Name and your birthdate for Password (six digit YYYYMM). You will then be required to reset your password - 6 character minimum alpha-numeric. DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSWORD. There is no question/answer prompt if you forget your password. If you look carefully at the login screen, you will notice that the Help Desk is a national help desk. The local on-campus Help Desk site CAN NOT RESET your PASSWORD.
7. Check your ALERTS (holds). Once you get logged into the site and click the "Verified" button on your personal information screen, you will see a screen that will list ALERTS, or registration holds. There are three possible holds : Delinquent Financial Aid and Delinquent Student Accounts. If you are one of the students that have a listed registration hold, this hold MUST be cleared as soon as possible through the Student Finance Office. Transcripts cannot be released if you have a hold. Grades cannot be posted if you have a hold. Transfer credit cannot be applied if you have a hold and you cannot submit a schedule. CLEAR YOUR HOLDS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
8. Submit your schedule through the Enrollment tab link following the instructions given in the guide (see step 4). Once you have your schedule completely worked out, select your courses and place them in your "Enrollment Cart". You must click "Submit Enrollment Cart" as the final step or your schedule will not be saved and submitted. Questions? The receptionists in the Academics Office are trained to assist you with this system. You will also have directions under STUDENT SELF SERVICES of your DeVry student portal - look in the bottom right-hand corner for the links. There will also be several on-campus dates to assist you with your scheduling.
9. Print off a copy of your schedule. As always. if you cannot print off a copy (from "View My Schedule" in your student portal), then you missed a step and must resubmit. MAKE SURE YOU ACCOUNT FOR ALL CLASSES , especially labs to lectures (i.e. COMP128 STN_P and COMP128L STN_P).
10. Bring the printout of your schedule to the Academic Office during one of the following times to have it verified and to complete the early registration process. Your schedule will be removed if you do not complete the registration process, resulting in a registration fine and having to complete the process during late registration.
Open Registration Times:
Tuesdays and Thursday 4:00 - 6:30 pm and Wednesdays 9:00 am - 11:30 am or 1:00 - 3:00 pm.
