Registration

Registration for classes is performed online using the registrar's online services. You will need to know your UT EID to access registration.

Registration Bars

A bar is a code placed on your record that will prevent registration. Students are responsible for clearing their registration bars prior to their registration time. You may view your bars and your registration times through your RIS form.

There are three types of bars:

Financial. Financial bars may appear if you have a balance with the university from library fines, unpaid parking tickets or loans or by the Office of Student Financial Services. Financial bars may be paid in cash or by check at the Cashier's Office in MAI 8 or paid online by credit card.

Non-Financial. These bars are placed by offices such as the International Office, Graduate and International Admissions Center, OSFS and the Office of Graduate Studies. Students must resolve a non-financial bar in person at the administrative office that imposed it.

For more information and tutorials on registration, the course schedule and tuition payment, please consult the Office of the Registrar.

Add/Drops

Students may add/drop courses via the web during the first four class days. If the course is full or restricted, the student must have department approval to add the course. Please consult the Graduate School website for the official add/drop policies and procedures.
