The following instructions and guidelines are intended to help Colgate students who are currently on  Colgate Study Groups or approved leaves of absence:

  • Students who are currently off-campus will be provided their registration PIN and are encouraged to register via Banner web for Student. Please bear in mind, however, that the times listed in the Registration Schedule are Eastern Time.
     
  • For students on leaves of absence:  Registration materials, including the booklet, registration form, and PIN, will be mailed to the home address on record in the Registrar's Office.  If students would like the registration materials sent to an alternate (foreign) address, they must contact the Registrar's Office (registrar@mail.colgate.edu) and provide us with their complete mailing address. 
  • Students who are currently off-campus may instead choose to fax or email their registration request to the Registrar's Office.   Students who elect this option will be registered during their scheduled class/alpha time,  provided that their registration request is received on or before that day/time.  Please see the Registration Schedule for additional information. 

  • To avoid complications, we recommend that registration requests be faxed   (315-228-7125) or emailed (Registrar@mail.colgate.edu) to the Registrar's Office by Friday, November 4.
  • Students should provide alternate course selections, even if they have an early registration time.  Many courses have a very limited number of seats open to seniors and juniors.
  • Students will not be registered in restricted courses unless they have received permission from the instructor and the Registrar’s Office has been notified by that instructor.  It is the student's responsibility to ensure that permission is obtained.  Restricted courses include those in which enrollment it limited certain classes or majors, and courses that require the instructor’s signature.
    Similarly, students will not be registered for a course if they have not satisfied the pre-requisites.
  • Students will not be registered in courses for which they do not have the proper pre-requisites.  
  • Seniors and juniors are no longer eligible to pre-register for PHED courses; instead, they must wait until the first week of classes, then register directly with the Physical Education Office (Huntington 212).  Questions concerning this policy should be directed to the Physical Education Office.
  • Due to time constraints during registration, the Registrar’s Office staff is not able to notify students of the outcome of their registration unless (a) they were ineligible to register (e.g., due to a financial/accounts receivable hold), or (b) they were registered for fewer than 3 of their requested primary and/or alternate courses.
  • Students should remember to check the on-line course booklet for information regarding availability of courses.  Changes in course offerings, including added or cancelled courses, or day/time/instructors changes, will be incorporated into the on-line course booklet immediately and posted on the Changes to the Course Booklet  page.
