After logging in, you will want to click on the "Student Profile" link, located within the "Registration and Student Profile" card.
Then, click on the "Registration and Planning" link under "Additional Links".
Then click "Am I clear for Registration?"
Start by selecting the term you’d like to check your status on.
Then, click the "Continue" button.
On the "Registration Status" page, you’ll be able to see if you have any holds preventing registration, your student status, and if your advisor has given any overrides. You can also check to see what degree you are currently pursuing on the right-hand side. If you have any items showing that you are not eligible, you will need to contact the associated department for each hold before you can register for any classes.
