Study Abroad in Panama and Colombia


Registration Week Reminders

To See an Academic and Career Coach
During registration week coaches will offer drop-in availability. See our website for drop-in availability. We are experiencing high traffic so you may experience wait times.
Pre-Business students can also make an appointment with a Peer Advisor in CONNECT.
For quick questions, you can email the stadvise@uncc.edu account and your message will be forwarded to the first available coach. 
If you are not able to see a coach prior to registration, utilize DegreeWorks to see your remaining course requirements and register for a full course load. A staff member will review your selections once you come in.

To Find your Registration Time/ View Holds
See Niner Central's website.
To check for holds go here: My UNCC; Banner Self Service; Student Services/Student Accounts; Registration; Check your Registration Status.
Our office cannot remove holds from Student Accounts/Financial Services, the Dean of Students Office, Parking Services, or from other academic departments. Contact them directly.

To Understand Add Errors
See Niner Central's website.
Sections may be restricted for the following reasons: Honor's section, credits earned/class, major/minor, you do not meet pre-requisites. Click on the green crn number, then course title for more information. Try an alternative course section/selection before contacting our office.
Our office cannot assist with add errors for classes in other departments. Contact them directly.

If a Class You Need is Full
Add yourself to the Waitlist and/or find an alternative class option. The last day to add/drop for Spring is January 16th. We anticipate change between now and then. Our office will evaluate courses needed for graduation (COMM 3160, MGMT 3280, etc) in January. Do NOT contact a BCOB faculty member to be added into a course-- they are not able to do so and will direct you to our office.

To Navigate the Waitlist
You are eligible to waitlist for a closed class as long as seats are available in the WL Rem Column. To do so, follow directions: Copy the green crn number; put crn number in add/drop box; submit; select waitlist from the drop down menu; submit again
Classes can appear open, but may not be if there are students in the WL Act column. Double check the WL Act column before changing sections or dropping other courses.
Our office cannot assist you if you make a mistake using the waitlist feature.

To Repeat a Course
If you are trying to add a course you have already earned credit for or are currently enrolled in, you must fill out the online repeat authorization form.

To Grade Replace
Once you have registered for the course, go here:  My UNCC; Banner Self Service; Student Services/Student Accounts; Student Records; Grade Replacement Request
More policy information here.
January 16th is the deadline for Fall courses.

To find General Education Options
If you are looking for a Writing Intensive course, do an advanced search. Highlight every subject, then select Writing Intensive as the attribute type. AMST, WMST, and AFRS courses are popular.
