Online Registration Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What must I do before I can register online? Common Error Messages What must I do before I can register online?
Who is eligible for online registration? All students, with the exception of staff auditors will be able to register online. When can I access online registration? All students must have been approved to register by their advisor before they will be able to access online registration. Access to online registration for continuing and returning students during Continuing Student Registration is determined by current class level. Refer to the Registration Schedule for the exact schedule for continuing and returning students. Continuing students may access online registration at any time after their scheduled start date until registration ends. Adding and Dropping Classes Online During the time that they have acces students may add and drop courses online. Students are required to meet with their advisors prior to changing their course schedule. All students will need to secure their advisor's approval to access online registration during this period. Refer to the Registration Schedule for exact dates. How do I remove the Registration Hold on my record? You must meet with your advisor to discuss course selection before you can register. Once courses are agreed upon, your advisor will approve your schedule either electronically, via the faculty myMILLS account, or (for students registering at the M Center) by signing your Registration Agreement form. Electronic myMILLS approval will generate a course approval confirmation which will be emailed to you and your advisor. Your official advisor (the advisor on record at the M Center) is the only person who can electronically approve your course schedule. Therefore, you are encouraged to meet with your advisor well in advance of your scheduled registration date. Access your account via the Portal to determine that there are no additional 'holds' on your record that need to be resolved before you can register. Instructions for online registration may be accessed via this link: registration instructions. Are there any courses I cannot register for through online registration? Registration for the following types of courses requires the appropriate form. Students cannot register online for these courses:
Independent Study, Teaching Practicum and Directed Research forms are available in the M Center or online under Registrar & Records/Academic Records Forms. Academic Internship forms are available in the Career Center. Internship Petitions must be submitted to the M Center for review by the Academic Standing Committee. The Advanced Teaching Practicum form is in the English Department Office, and the Management Practicum form is in the MBA Office. These forms must be submitted to the M Center by the add deadline. Can I add or drop classes online? During Continuing Student Registration (November and April) continuing and returning students may add and drop classes online, at their convenience. During Final Registration (January and August) all new and readmitted students may add and drop classes online, at their convenience. Students are required to meet with their advisors prior to changing their course schedule. All students will need to secure their advisor's approval to access online registration during this period. Once registration ends your advisor will receive a report of your final course schedule for his or her review. If a waitlist option exists for the course(s) in question, you may add yourself to the waitlist for the course(s). If space becomes available, the instructor will send an email to your Mills email account, inviting you to enroll in the course. You will have two business days from the date and time on the email in which to print out the email and bring it to the M Center to add yourself to the class. If you do not take action within this timeframe, you will forfeit the space to the next student on the waitlist. Important: Please check your schedule to determine if adding the course(s) will cause any conflicts or create an overload. If either or both of these conditions exist, you will need to complete an Add/Drop form so that you can drop the course that is creating the conflict. You do not need any signatures on the Add/Drop form as long as you have the emailed invitation to enroll. If no waitlist option exists for the course in question, you must bring an Add/Drop form, signed by your instructor and advisor, to the M Center. Tuition payment deadlines are available under the Academic Calendar. Each semester, tuition must be paid in full or a payment plan must be arranged with Student Accounts with the first payment made by the stated deadline. Where can I find my advisor's contact information? Use Mills' Contact Us to find contact information for your advisor. You may search by department or first or last name.
