Priority registration is the period in which students may begin enrollment for the following academic term. Dates for Priority Registration are posted per term on the Academic Calendar. Registration appointment times are assigned to avoid overloading the registration system during the high demand period. Appointment times are available through MyRED approximately two weeks before the beginning of priority registration. Before priority registration, students may access the Enrollment section of MyRED to place classes in their shopping cart, but the enrollment process cannot be completed until the designated appointment time.
Appointment times are assigned to eligible students based on their current class level (actual earned hours). Within each class level appointment times are distributed randomly each term from earliest to latest. The priority class levels are:
1. Graduate Students
2. Seniors (89 credit hours or more)
3. Juniors (53-88 credit hours)
4. Sophomores (27-52 credit hours)
5. Freshmen (0-26 credit hours)
Priority Registration is not open to students who will be new, first-time freshmen, new transfer students, Nebraska Now students or unclassified (e.g., students-at-large and visiting students) undergraduate students.
New, first-time freshmen and new transfer students are to follow the New Student Enrollment information mailed to them.
If you need help preparing for priority registration, make an appointment with your academic advisor.
