Registration Process Registration = Paying Fees Registration Using  myTSU Registration Tips and Trouble shooting

Any person who anticipates registering as a Tennessee State University student should be sure that the University requirements for admission have been met. Official enrollment is achieved by properly registering in each course, having a photograph made for an identification card, and paying of all fees.

A late registration period is provided for those who are unable to register during the regular registration days. However, students who register late are required to pay a late registration fee and often find it difficult to secure a satisfactory schedule of classes. The late registration fee is $100.00. No student may register late (or add) a course which has met for the equivalent of 150 minutes. If a student does register late for (or add) a course, he will be responsible for all material covered from the first class meeting and must, at the discretion of the instructor, be responsible for any make-up work or tests.

Detailed procedures for registration are given each semester as a part of the schedule of classes.

The following must be observed prior to registration to avoid delay:

1. Freshmen and transfers must be accepted for admission prior to registration.
    
2. All students are expected to register at their scheduled time for registration. No one will be allowed to register earlier than the scheduled time. Each student must observe registration procedures as specified at that time. A student is not officially enrolled until all of the requirements of registration, including the payment of fees, are completed. Registration after the regular registration dates may be completed by presenting an acceptable reason for the delay and payment of a late registration fee.
    
3. Former students must submit a re-admission application and settle all prior accounts in the Business Office before re-enrolling.

The following must be observed during the registration period:

1. All students must have a conference with a faculty advisor to arrange an approved schedule of classes.
2. All students must pay fees in full on the day they register. Students who do not pay will be purged.
3. All freshmen and first-time transfer students must have I.D. pictures made and automobiles registered.

Registering is paying fees!  Placing courses in the computer does not constitute registration.  Students gain no rights to any course or any section of a course until fees are paid.  During early registration and regular registration, students "reserve" courses they plan to take with the provision that they pay fees by a certain date. When fees are not paid by published deadlines, the University deletes all courses which students have reserved. These students must begin the course entry process again and make their selections from among courses that are open.  The University will not raise the class size for courses which are closed to accommodate these students.  It is the students responsibility to arrange all fee payments.  The University does not weigh reasons for non-payment by published deadlines.
