On-Ground Student Course Registration. New on-ground students at West Point participate in Starting Point events on campus before registering for their first term. Returning students register online for the next term during the registration period. The Registrar Office staff notifies students of registration dates and processes through their Point email accounts. Registration dates also appear on the academic calendars in this Catalog or on the University website . Students may contact the Registrar's Office or Academic Advising Center for questions or directions on registration.

Students who have not registered previously may do so during the drop/add period. See the academic calendar for dates.

Depending on the student’s program, registration may also include other preparations, such as participating in orientation sessions and making financial arrangements. Students who do not complete necessary arrangements will be withdrawn from the University by the add/drop date.

During the first year, most undergraduate students schedule their courses in keeping with the General Education Core courses. In later years, they select courses appropriate for their major program of study. Students may consult with the Academic Advising Center and faculty advisors, but students themselves bear responsibility for enrolling in required courses at the appropriate times in order to reach graduation.

Through Colleague (the online enrollment management system used by Point University), students may track their degree progress, view courses scheduled for upcoming terms, and plan their course of study. If students have questions, they should contact the Academic Advising Center by telephone (706-385-1018) or email (Advising. Center@Point.edu).

Online Student Course Registration. Registration for the next term typically begins shortly after the midpoint of the current term. The Advising Center and/or Registrar's Office register online students for courses prior to the beginning of each term or session. The Academic Advising Center can also answer questions about registration (706-385-1018; email Advising.Center@ Point.edu or Point. Registrar@Point.edu).

At the time of their initial enrollment, Academic Advisors assist online students in developing a course schedule, or plan of study. Such advance planning is necessary to achieve optimum scheduling and course sequencing for a given student. Academic advisors check with students prior to each session before registering them for the next courses in their plan. Students typically complete foundational General Education Core courses first before progressing into more advanced professional courses and general electives.

Course Loads and Student Time Commitments. When registering for courses, students should weigh multiple factors, such as the time required each week to complete those studies, the length of time to graduation under a lighter or heavier course load, and the number of credits required for full time status and financial aid. Helpful information appears under Credit Hour Definition and Time Commitments and Course Loads, Overloads, and Full-Time Student Status. Academic Advisors stand ready to assist students with their academic planning.

Changes in the Student’s Plan of Study. Students may change their course schedule, or plan of study, during the registration period and at the beginning of the new session or term. To do so, they should contact the Academic Advising Center by telephone (706-385-1018) or email (Advising.Center@Point.edu).
