App State’s course registration system through Student Self-Service will be updated with new functionality on Friday, Nov. 1. The system will be closed Monday, Oct. 28 through Thursday, Oct. 31 for the upgrade.
Important dates
Monday, Oct. 28 through Thursday, Oct. 31: Registration will be closed for the system upgrade.
During this time, students can still view courses on the Office of the Registrar’s Registration and Classes webpage.
Friday, Nov. 1 through Thursday, Nov. 14: Early registration opens on the updated platform. The process will be familiar, but the look and feel will be new.
Process changes visible Nov. 1
Class section notes: Course notes will no longer appear in course search results but will display in a pop-up box when a course title has been selected.
External links and forms: Due to security concerns, the platform will no longer allow live or clickable URL links. Links to pre-requisite forms or documents can still be visible but will have to be copied and pasted into a browser.
Transition to UNC System drop limits: This implementation is part of App State’s integration of the UNC System Fostering Undergraduate Student Success (FUSS) process. While this information will be visible to students in the updated platform, it will not be applicable until the spring term. At that time, the following will take place:
Terminology change: from Career Drops to Withdrawal Credits.
Transition drop limitations: from 4 course drops to 16 credit hours.
Updates and improvements
New features include:
Improved functionality for linked course search and registration process (i.e. lecture & lab).
Course location by campus (i.e. Boone, Hickory, Online/Distance Learning).
Schedule types (lecture, lab, internship, seminar, thesis or research).
Instructional methods (face-to-face, online asynchronous, online synchronous and hybrid-primarily face to face).
More detailed messaging when an error occurs.
Visibility of drop limits including email notifications sent to the student, instructor(s) and advisor(s).
