Fall 2019 Registration Tips: Enrollment Appointments & How to Use Swap & Waitlist Features
Registration opens on April 8. Do you know when your registration appointment is? Do you know how to use the swap and waitlist features? Read below to find out more about how, when and where to register. You may register for classes through your Student Center using this guide, How to Register for Classes (PDF). You may also register through MyTU Mobile.
When do I register for fall classes?
From your Student Center click on “details” listed under Enrollment Dates. You can start registering at the time and date listed under “Appointment Begins.” You cannot register until that date and time.
- Go to “My TU” on Towson University website
- Click on “Students (Towson Online Services)”
- Log in using your username and password
- Click on “Self Service”
- Click on “Student Center”
- Click on “details” listed under Enrollment Dates
- You can start registering at the time and date listed under “Appointment Begins.” You cannot register until that date or time.
*Note: Incoming freshmen and transfer students will register during orientation.
When should I use the “Swap” and “Waitlist” features?
SWAP FEATURE
- Use the “swap” feature if you are currently enrolled in a class but want to take a different section of the same class (ex: ENGL102-001 vs ENGL102-003) or if you are enrolled in a class and want to switch to a different class (ex: ENGL102 vs HIST145).
WAITLIST FEATURE
- The “waitlist” feature is for classes that are currently full.
- When you try to enroll, you will get a message that the class is full and instructions on how to add yourself to the waitlist by clicking on the class link (COMM300-001) and select the waitlist checkbox.
- You will not be enrolled in the class from the “waitlist” if you:
- are currently enrolled in a different section of the same class
- have already reached your permitted unit load
- have not met the prerequisites for the class that you are waitlisted for
- have registration holds
- are currently enrolled in a course that conflicts with the meeting time of the waitlisted class
USING SWAP IN CONJUNCTION WITH WAITLIST
- If you are currently enrolled in another section of the same class or are in a class that has a time conflict with the waitlisted class:
- use the “swap” feature to enroll in the waitlisted class
- “swap” the enrolled or conflicting class with the closed section, choosing the “waitlist” option
- once space is available in the waitlisted section, the system will automatically “swap” the enrolled class with the waitlisted class.
- If you use the “waitlist” instead of the “swap” feature the system will prevent you from being enrolled in the class because it sees that you are already registered for that class.
