A Message from the Center for Academic Services
Welcome! This page is intended to aid new students in online course registration. Here you will find some useful materials, contact information, and answers to frequently asked questions (see below).
Students entering Hamline University as first-year students will register for classes at summer Piper Preview. Students entering Hamline University as transfer students may register online, at the same time as their Hamline class-cohorts (as early as April 20, 2010, depending on the number of credits earned at your previous school(s)).
The Center for Academic Services (CAS) sends out registration packets beginning in late March for transfer students, and early May for first-year students. Please note, however, that new students are not sent a registration packet until an enrollment deposit is on record with the Admission Office.
The Center for Academic Services (CAS) recommends that new first-year and transfer students begin by reviewing the relevant Registration Information and Graduation Requirements booklet and then following the directions on the Registration Worksheet. Other students should begin by downloading a Registration Worksheet after consulting with their program advisor.
Once you submit your registration via Piperline, a CAS advisor will review your course selections. If we have questions or concerns, we will call and email you within two to three working days. Alternately, if your selections looks good, we will email you and tell you that your registration is complete. Once your registration is complete, a "hold" is placed on your schedule. You may make schedule changes by calling the CAS.
Again, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to call, email, or stop by the Center for Academic Services!
