Class Registration

Registering for classes is a part of the enrollment process in which students meet with an Advisor to discuss their program of study and career plans, and make their class schedule.

Who meets with an Advisor?

All new students and students who have sat out for at least one semester must speak with an Advisor either in-person or remotely. You will not be able to register yourself in your Navigator account until you have been advised.
Current Hinds students who maintain consecutive enrollment (excluding Dual Credit students) may register for classes themselves in their Navigator account. However, if you are changing your program of study, you will need to speak to an Advisor.

How do I meet with an Advisor?

When registration opens for the semester in which you plan to enroll, the student should initiate advisement and registration in one of these ways:

Visit any Hinds campus during business hours. No appointment is necessary!
Request Remote Advisement. If you submit a remote advisement request, an Advisor will reach out to you several business days later via your Hinds email account. So, check it regularly!

Early & Late Registration

Please note the difference between Early Registration and Late Registration.

Early Registration:

New students may register if they have an accepted application, completed Onboarding, and have “official placement” on file, which is defined as official ACT or SAT scores, Hinds Accuplacer scores, or an official college transcript showing a “D” or higher in both English and Math.
All other documents and final transcripts are due by the Admission Document Deadline.

Late Registration:

Once Late Registration begins, no student will be permitted to register for any class unless they are fully admitted, meaning all admission documents have been received and processed in the Office of Admissions.
In addition, a Late Enrollment Fee is incurred when registering for the first time during the Add/Drop Period. This is in addition to the normal Registration Fee that is charged per semester. The Add/Drop Period starts on the first day of each class start date for all 4-week, 8-week, and 16-week classes.

Applicants should monitor the status of their admission requirements in their Applicant Portal. As your admission documents are received, they will be marked as complete in this portal.

Registration Periods

Class registration takes place before each semester begins and continues up through the Add/Drop Period of each term.

Fall

Early Registration for the Fall typically opens in early April and continues through August 1.
Late Registration for all Fall semester classes begins August 2 and continues through the Add/Drop Period for each Fall class date.

Spring

Early Registration for the Spring typically opens in early November and continues through January 1 (although we are closed for the holiday at this time.)
Late Registration for Spring begins January 2 and continues through the Add/Drop Period for all Spring class dates.

Summer

Early Registration for the Summer typically opens in early April and continues through May 15.
Late Registration for all Summer semester classes begins May 16 and continues through the Add/Drop Period for each Summer class date.

Tips:

We recommend registering as early as possible! A Late Enrollment Fee is incurred when registering for the first time during the Add/Drop Period. This is in addition to the normal Registration Fee that is charged per semester. The Add/Drop Period starts on the first day of each class start date for all 4-week, 8-week, and 16-week classes.

Schedule Changes

Once you are registered for classes, you can make your own schedule changes in your Navigator account before the semester begins and up through the Add/Drop Period of each class.
Classes you “Drop” before or during the Add/Drop Period do not appear on your transcript, and you are not charged for them.
To be removed from a class after the Add/Drop Period has passed is considered a course Withdrawal.
Classes you withdraw from do appear on your transcript as a “W” (hours attempted but not completed), and you are charged full price for any classes you withdraw from.
