Be sure you check for Holds if a student is having difficulty with registration.

View Holds, RAP Codes, Student Codes

View Holds, RAP Codes, Student CodesStudent codes inform you of registration eligibility (e.g. clearances/candidacy) and special cohorts (e.g. sports/honors).

If a RAP code appears, you can provide that code to the student to allow him/her to self-register.

RAP Codes Intro

1.New Undergrad students: issued at orientation

2.Students on Warning or Probation- Advising Unit can give students on Warning the RAP code after meeting with them but will not issue the code to those students on Probation.

3.Athletes and Honors- students with Sports Codes and those with an Honors Cohort code are assigned a code so that they can have Priority Registration. The code is supplied by their departments

4.International Students- RAP code is applied after second week of class so that they can not withdraw without seeing an advisor first

5. Non-degree Graduate students (if registered in current semester).

RAP Codes / PINs: Student Groups

Why would a student in the College of Education need a RAP code?

Registration History

“If I register a student for a class and get a ‘Registration Error,’ what happens? “

Registration Error / Override

“How did Janey get in my class?!“

The Trouble with Overrides

Override remains for this student/course, even if situation changes!

IF an Advisor has approval to enter the override, select the appropriate code

Registration Override

Course level (UG/GR/PR) always defaults to the level of the student’s degree program regardless of the course number. Student’s are billed according to their degree program. If the COURSE LEVEL is changed from Undergraduate to Graduate, it will be recorded in a Graduate Transcript and therefore will be part of the Graduate GPA and Graduate record. Likewise, if the COURSE LEVEL is changed from Graduate to Undergraduate, it will be recorded in the Undergraduate Transcript and be recorded in the Undergraduate GPA and the Undergraduate Record. For the most part this should NOT be changed!!

Can enter Audit, Credit/No Credit or change variable credit options but only if the student was REGISTERED ADMINISTRATIVELY.

If a student self registered and needs to increase credits (for Independent Study, for example), Advisor will need to drop the course and add it back Administratively and then change the credits.
