Registration & Overrides – Registration

• Check the Academic Calendar for all the important dates for Registration, Add/Drop, and Late Registration.
• Check for To Do items and Registration Holds in your MyUCF Student Center.
• Find your Enrollment Appointment Date (Located under your “To Do”s in the Student Center).
  • This is not a date for an in-person appointment; it is the day and time you can begin registering for classes for a certain term. You may then continue to register until the Add/Drop/Swap deadline.
  • If you register for your first course that term during Late Registration and/or Add/Drop, you will be charged $100 Late Registration Fee.
• View your Degree Audit and Meet with an Advisor to understand how to read it.

1. Log in at https://my.ucf.edu using your NID and password.
2. In the left-hand menu, click on the word “Student Self Service”.  Your Student Center will appear.
3. Choose to either use the MyScheduleBuilder or to search for all available classes (read on).

   • Subject: The three-letter prefix of your course (ex: MAC, ENC, BSC, PSY, SYG, etc)
   • Course Number: The four-digit number that follows the prefix in the course catalog.  (ex: for CHM 1020, course number is 1020).
   • Check or uncheck the box next to Open Classes Only – we suggest unchecking this box in order to view desirable courses that may have a wait list.
7. Less commonly used criteria include:
   • Department: The department which offers the course. Only use this if you’re certain what department your class falls under.
   • Class Number: The 5-digit “CRN” for a specific section of a course – you usually only know this if you’ve searched for the class previously.
   • Instructor Name: If you have a certain professor you enjoyed and would like to see future courses they teach.
   • Mode of Instruction: The way your course will be taught, whether online, video, face-to-face, or mixed mode: Course Modalities at UCF.

Error When Registering, But You Would Still Like To Pursue Enrollment (Override) Into A Course:

Error Examples and how to follow up:

• Requisite Not Met For A Class: If you believe you have met the prerequisite, submit proof of the requisite (ex. transcript or previous course schedule) online at request an override.
• Class is Full: Pursue the override with the department that offers the course.  (The department is listed in the details of the course search, or find the course in the undergraduate catalog).
• Class Limit Exceeded: You are only permitted to register yourself for 17 credit hours (Spring & Fall terms) and 14 credit hours (Summer term).  If you feel you need to go over the credit limit, you must contact your major advisor for permission.
• Instructor’s Consent Required: You must contact the instructor or the department that offers the course to pursue the override.
