Tips for Successful Registration:

Make certain your accounts for Millsaps Email and MajorAccess, a web-based information management tool that allows access numerous online resources, are both ready to use. Both will be utilized in the Registration process.

1. Choose an Advising/Registration time period. We have established several Advising/Registration time periods, many of which correspond to activities on campus. If you are participating in any of these activities, you'll likely want to choose that time period. Of course, you may choose any of the time periods, whether you are participating in these activities or not. Please keep in mind that the earlier you register, the wider the range of available course options. You may also choose whether you want to do advising on campus or over the phone. (Overnight accommodations are only available for Challenge participants staying the week.) After consulting with your advisor, you will register online.

On-campus Advising/Registration dates:

1. Tuesday, June 5, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. on campus, June 5-7 phone advising by appointment
2. Tuesday, June 12, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. on campus, June 12-14 phone advising by appointment
3. Tuesday, July 24, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. on campus, July 24-26 phone advising by appointment

Challenge dates:

Challenge #1 - June 4-8
Challenge #2 - June 11-16
Challenge #3 - July 23-28

2. Choose your preferred Advising/Registration periods. Go to www.millsaps.edu/new_students/signup.php to indicate your preferred periods. Because the number of students who can be advised during each of the time periods is limited, we'll ask you to specify your top 3 choices of advising/registration periods, to indicate whether you prefer to do on-campus or over-the-phone advising, and to let us know whether you are participating in the activity associated with your advising period. The interim Director of Academic Advising (Dr. Pat Taylor) will send email to your Millsaps Email account with the advising period you have been assigned, along with the name and contact information of your Summer advisor.

3. Email your advisor. Using your Millsaps Email, contact your assigned faculty advisor. You and your advisor will correspond to discuss advising and to make an appointment to talk on the phone or to meet in person. It is very important that you be available at the agreed-upon appointment time. If you miss your appointment time, your registration appointment will be cancelled. (You will still be able to register during Orientation on campus.) Make sure you have reviewed the academic information before your appointment with your advisor!

4. Set up Registration. Login to MajorAccess, hit the "Current Students" tab and follow the link to "E-Registration Documentation." Read over each of the documents carefully to familiarize yourself with the registration process.

      a. Use the E-Registration Card under the "Current Students" menu in Major Access to create your "Suggested Course List." These are the classes you'd like to take in the fall. You are now ready to be advised.

      b. After talking with you about your academic goals and requirements, your advisor will approve courses from your "Suggested Course List." Those courses will show on your E-Registration Card as being "Advisor Approved." You can now hit "Select & Register" on the action bar.

      c. Pick the Sections of the courses you want, making certain that none of the meeting times of your courses will conflict with one another. If no conflicts exist, you have successfully registered! You can review your registration in the subsequent screens.
